Cam Newton attempted to sell Deion Sanders on considering leaving Colorado football

Cam Newton went on the November 15 edition of ESPN's "First Take" and attempted to see Deion Sanders on leaving the Colorado football program; specifically, to take a job at FSU to replace Noles head coach Mike Norvell.

"What is a good look, I do believe, for Prime is Florida State University. It makes the most sense because not only would you have more time to build a foundation, you have more resources than, respectfully, Colorado," Newton said (h/t On SI). "I'm looking at one coach that stands out at Florida State that he could potentially be and build a legacy - Bobby Bowden. I don't think he would have the same timeframe in Dallas."

Newton was referring to the Dallas Cowboys rumor, which, as some point out, has little credibility to it.

Deion Sanders isn't going to the Dallas Cowboys, probably isn't going to FSU either

As The Athletic's Dianna Russini pointed out, there was practically nothing to the rumors of Sanders taking the Cowboys' head coaching job -- one that could open up if Mike McCarthy is dismissed.

"After having conversations around the league this week of, 'Is this real? Are we really doing this?' At this point right now, this is all chitchat," Russini said (h/t The Coloradoan). "Because he wants to stay in college. He wants to stay in college.

"Here's how I look at it. I don't think he realizes if there is an owner that really wants to bring him on they are going to write him a big fat check, especially some of these newer owners. ... I just think a lot of this is for excitement and good conversation on television and YouTube for people to just debate."

Sanders isn't going to the NFL. Period. As for another college head coaching job, that's probably out of the realm of possibility. Sanders has autonomy at Colorado he wouldn't get elsewhere and admitted he doesn't like to meet boosters.

That's not going to fly at FSU.
