Deion Sanders is going to be the head coach of a lot of teams according to The Wright Way Network.

TWSN's Blake Meek made a claim that Coach Prime will, not can, but will, leave Colorado football and join a team Shedeur Sanders is oft-projected to land with after the 2025 NFL draft: the Las Vegas Raiders.

"When the Raiders pick top five in the 2025 draft, they will have to take a quarterback and who could be sitting there staring them in the face. Shedeur Sanders. Sanders is one of the top quarterback prospects in this class and will likely be a top-10 pick. If he plays well this season, Sanders could be a top-five or even number-one overall pick.

"That all smells like a path that Deion Sanders would love to have to become the head coach of the Raiders in 2025."

Once upon a time, THE Ohio State University was proposed as THE next landing spot for Sanders by the site. On a different occasion, another writer from the publication claimed the Dallas Cowboys, another frequent hypothetical Shedeur landing spot.

All of these proposals goes directly against what Coach Prime has said himself.

Deion Sanders on leaving Colorado football to follow his sons: 'I'm a father, not a baby daddy'

Sanders has repeated the same mantra repeatedly -- that he's a father, not a baby daddy, and he sets the tone for his kids' futures, not vice versa.

"I'm a leader of men, not a follower of men," he stated (h/t Colorado Buffaloes On SI). "I'm a father, not a baby daddy. I lead my sons, I don't follow my sons."

Coach Prime's word isn't 100% bond, but he's been particularly in denial about taking an NFL job; explaining the downside to taking a professional coaching job.

“I don’t have any desire or ambition to coach in the NFL,” Sanders told SI. “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.”

No, he won't be coaching the Raiders. Or Cowboys. And definitely not Ohio State. Sanders has it too good at CU to consider a switch just yet. Maybe one day he'll win too much in Boulder and desire the deepest pockets in the sport for recruiting purposes. If his antics would be invited to one of the country's NIL powerhouses, anyway.

He will have switched up his opinion on NIL in a major way for that to happen, though. Just like joining the Raiders will have been a 180 from what he's said on the record not too long ago.
