Colorado Buffaloes football coach Deion Sanders has made it known he’d love to coach his sons, Shedeur and Shilo, in the NFL. In January on GMA3, Coach Prime said, “The only way I would consider it is to coach my sons.”
Sanders’ not shutting the door on coaching his sons in the NFL reportedly gave pause to certain teams during the 2025 draft, leading to Shedeur backsliding to the fifth round to the Browns with the No. 144 pick.
“Deion not being a ‘significant’ factor is not the same as him not being a factor at all, and it is fair to ask whether some NFL coaches and GMs would have preferred not to have the distraction of Deion Sanders potentially weighing in on the way Shedeur was developing,” Pro Football Talk’s Michael David Smith wrote.
Sanders briefly considered the Cowboys' head coach opening and discussed it with owner Jerry Jones in January.
Coach Prime never received a formal offer for the job, as he told Skip Bayless on his podcast.
As for other jobs, none of the teams in the running for Shedeur – or so we thought before the draft, when the “Grown QB” was seen as a potential first-round pick – were in a position to replace their head coach.
The Saints just hired Kellen Moore, the Raiders just hired Pete Carroll, the Steelers will never fire Mike Tomlin, and the Giants are not giving up on Brian Daboll yet.
While Coach Prime is content with Colorado, for now, after receiving a five-year, $54 million contract extension that runs through the 2029 season, it’s not hard to imagine him speaking up and proclaiming a desire to coach Shedeur if his NFL career stalls out.
