Deion dismisses speculation: 'Ain't going nowhere'

Colorado coach Deion Sanders, who has his team pushing for a Big 12 title and a College Football Playoff appearance, says he doesn't intend on leaving despite talk about him being a possible candidate for other jobs, including in the NFL.

Sanders has engineered an impressive turnaround at Colorado (8-2), which already has doubled its wins total from 2023. The Pro Football Hall of Famer, who began his college coaching career at Jackson State, has been mentioned as a potential candidate for current or expected NFL coach openings, including the Dallas Cowboys, where he played from 1995 to 1999 and won two Super Bowls.

Former Cowboys teammate Michael Irvin and others have mentioned Sanders for the Dallas job, if the team moves on from Mike McCarthy.

"I'm happy where I am, man," Sanders said Tuesday. "I've got a kickstand down. You know what a kickstand is? ... That means I'm resting. I'm good, I'm happy, I'm excited. I'm enthusiastic about where I am. I love it here, truly do."

Sanders received a five-year, $29.5 million contract when he was hired at Colorado in late 2022, following a 1-11 season for the team. The 17th-ranked Buffaloes, who visit Kansas on Saturday, are two wins away from a spot in the Big 12 title game in their first season back in the conference. They are led by Heisman Trophy candidates Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, the son of Deion Sanders. Both are set to depart for the NFL after the season, along with other key contributors.

But Colorado has had success adding transfers, and the Buffaloes are among the top candidates for quarterback Julian Lewis, ESPN's No. 2 recruiting prospect in the 2025 class who decommitted from USC on Sunday.

Sanders on Tuesday also recognized several freshmen who are contributing to Colorado's success this season.

"It says a lot about what we plan on being and the stability that we're going to be here for a while," Sanders said. "We ain't going nowhere. We're about to get comfortable."
