Deion Sanders wants no part of the NFL coaching carousel. None. Zero. Zip.

Coach Prime made it crystal clear on ESPN's First Take on Friday. Asked if there's anything that could pull him away from Colorado and into the league, Sanders didn't flinch.
"Ain't no way in the world," he said. "After what transpired with my son last year?"
Yeah, he's still salty.
Shedeur Sanders slid all the way to the fifth round in last year's draft after Deion and plenty of others had him going Day 1. Now Dad's making it clear that slide burned some bridges.

Previously, Deion floated the idea of coaching in the NFL only if both of his sons were on the roster. That dream's even further off now. Shilo isn't in the league. Shedeur is a backup. And Deion sounds like he's done even entertaining the idea.
"I'm good," might as well be his tagline.
So for everyone dreaming of Coach Prime lighting up NFL sidelines, don't hold your breath. He's locked in at Colorado, and if the league wants him now, it's way too late.
Besides, he has lots of work ahead in Colorado. Like, tons. The Buffaloes have been just OK, at best, during his tenure there.
