Nothing to rumors Deion Sanders would leave Colorado football for Cowboys at this time

Athlon Sports' Austin Givan relayed that there's nothing to the rumors of Deion Sanders leaving the Colorado football program for the Dallas Cowboys at this time -- even as Shedeur Sanders' name continues to come up in QB conversations in the Metroplex.

"So factually? There is no there there at this time," Givan said in response to Mike Greenberg connecting Coach Prime and the Cowboys on ESPN's "Get Up."

"But filling a TV segment? Mention 'Cowboys' and 'Jerry Jones' and 'Deion Sanders' in the same sentence? There is something of value there: Ratings."

Givan directly contradicts a previous stance from the same outlet that Deion and Dallas are a likely union.

I hate to do the Simpsons "Don't make me tap the sign" meme here, but as must be reiterated, Coach Prime has spoken out against coaching in the NFL.

“I don’t have any desire or ambition to coach in the NFL," Sanders said in June 2023 (h/t Buffaloes Wire). "I have a problem with men getting their checks and not doing their jobs. I would be too tough as a coach in the NFL because I still have those old-school attributes.”

The same media members pushing the Sanders-Cowboys rumor are the same ones who ate up every story from former players about Coach Prime mistreating guys he didn't feel were worthy of making his Buffs roster.

Deion Sanders will retire from coaching before taking the Cowboys sign

We're going to have to tap that sign in Springfield again.

As has been stated ad nauseum around these parts, Sanders is more likely to retire than take the Cowboys job. Or one at an SEC school like Florida or Mississippi State.

Sanders has established himself at CU in a way he didn't at Jackson State. AD Rick George gave him carte blanche in a way he wouldn't find elsewhere.

He's calling it a career before he doesn't finish out his Colorado coaching contract to jump ship.
