Meanwhile, rumors are circulating in the national media that Sanders could be a possible head coaching candidate at Texas A&M. Texas A&M fired head football coach Jimbo Fisher on Sunday.
ESPN pundit Stephen A. Smith said Sanders needs to go to Texas A&M and the SEC.
“That’s what I’ve been saying, Deion Sanders in the SEC,” Smith said. “With that vault that they have available to them. Them hogs that he could recruit. He doesn’t have them at Colorado, and he ain’t going to get them. I don’t think they’ll do it. Texas A&M. Primetime, Deion Sanders in the SEC? That needs to happen.”
Coach Prime immediately addressed the rumors and Smith's comments at the start of his Tuesday press conference.
"I want to win, I want to win a game," Sanders said Tuesday. "So you think I really do sit down and think about that kind of stuff? Let what strikes me about that, about myself that you guys think I really sit down and say 'Ah yeah, Stephen A., yeah.' C'mon. I'm good. We got to win. Let's focus on this week when we play Friday so we lose a game of practice."
Colorado Buffaloes beat reporter Brian Howell said that should Sanders make another move, he’d either have to leave his children, Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders, behind at CU or risk them having to sit out the 2024 season as two-time transfers.
Sanders was asked what he would tell parents if they were to come to him and ask about his future at Colorado.
"I tell them what I told them when they came: I'm here. I'm here," Sanders said. "I tell them my mother's here. My sister's here. My dog is here. My daughter's here. Three of my sons are here. My other daughter comes during every home game. We here. I get mail here. I pay taxes here. I'm here."
"I don't hear that. Maybe our recruiting staff hears that, but I don't hear it. I'm too honest with parents, I'm going to tell them the truth," Sanders added.
