This article was last updated by on

Beyond his exceptional coaching, Deion Sanders had captivated NFL fans and sports analysts with his incredible athleticism during his playing years. His godly talent propelled him to win two Super Bowl rings!

Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders is creating waves after the news broke out about him being a potential candidate for the Dallas Cowboys‘ vacant head coaching position.

After the departure of former head coach Mike McCarthy, the position has remained vacant, sparking interest between the Cowboys and Sanders about the vacancy.

However, some credible sources claim that Sanders is not likely to participate in the interview for the position and is negotiating his contract with the Buffaloes.

Deion Sanders’ Illustrious Career Helped Him Start His Coaching Journey!

Two-time Super Bowl champion Deion Sanders embarked on his coaching journey after he retired from the NFL.

Alongside being a sports analyst, Sanders started his coaching career as the high school head coach.

First, he began as the head coach of the Prime Prep Academy, which he co-founded.

Then, he became the head coach of Triple-A Academy and the offensive coordinator for Trinity Christian High School, where he also coached his sons, Deion Sanders Jr., Shilo, and Shedeur Sanders.

The historically black (HBCU) Jackson State University Tigers hired Sanders as their 21st head coach on September 21, 2020.

Over three seasons, he guided Jackson State to a 27–6 record, including an 11-win season in the Fall semester of 2021.

Hence, the school won its first football title in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) since 2007.

Then, on December 3, 2022, Sanders became the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes.

His arrival at the University of Colorado Boulder brought a 20% increase in applications for the 2024 incoming first-year class, totaling over 68,000 prospective students.

Therefore, Deion Sanders has had an illustrious coaching career, and his experience and talent have changed the fate of many budding athletes.

However, he has garnered praise for not just his coaching career.

He also had a successful NFL career, which propelled him toward great success and helped him become a coach later.

Sanders played professional football for 14 seasons with several NFL teams like the Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins, and Baltimore Ravens

Before being selected by the Falcons fifth overall in the 1989 NFL draft, he played college football for the Florida State Seminoles.

Like his college career, where he won the Jim Thorpe Award, he also achieved substantial success during his NFL career.

Although he mainly played as a cornerback, he also made a few appearances as a return specialist and wide receiver. 

Moreover, Sanders had two Super Bowl appearances in his career, winning both.

He won Super Bowl rings in consecutive years but with different teams.

First, he won Super Bowl XXIX (1995) with the San Francisco 49ers while defeating the San Diego Chargers (49–26).

Then, Sanders won Super Bowl XXX (1996) with the Dallas Cowboys, leading them to a 27–17 victory.

@alpha_smart Deion Sanders joined the Cowboys for one reason: to win another Super Bowl. From game-changing plays to lifting the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl XXX, PrimeTime proved he was the missing piece. Two Super Bowls. Two years. One legend. #PrimeTime #DeionSanders #DallasCowboys #SuperBowlXXX #NFLHistory ♬ original sound – Alpha_Smart

Besides winning two Super Bowl rings, Deion has received eight Pro Bowls, six first-team All-Pros, NFL Defensive Player of the Year, and many more.

Deion Sanders’ successful NFL career helped him establish himself as a highly sought-after coach.

He has also gained the nickname Coach Prime since becoming a coach.
