Several NFL head coaching jobs are open, and apparently there’s one that Deion Sanders has a “very high interest in.”
According to the Las Vegas Review Journal, the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes has his eye on him coaching the Raiders.
Sanders aides have reportedly reached out to the team to express interest.

The Raiders fired head coach Antonio Pierce this week after a 4-13 season, his first full season on the job. Two days later, they let go of general manager Tom Telesco after his first year.
It has been reported that Tom Brady, who bought a 5% stake in the franchise last year, will have a big say in who becomes the next head coach. And it’s no secret that Brady and Sanders have a relationship.
The Raiders also need a quarterback, and Sanders’ son, Shedeur, is widely considered one of the top two QBs in the class. Some mock drafts have him going No. 1 overall to the Tennessee Titans.
But coach Prime recently said there are teams in the league he wouldn’t let Shedeur play for.

The father-son duo joined Brady on his “Let’s Go” podcast last year. Sanders also recently said it was “the only way” he would consider an NFL job “to train my sons.”
The Pro Football Hall of Famer joined Colorado prior to the 2023 season after spending three seasons at Jackson State. Several Jackson State players followed Sanders to Boulder, including his sons and future Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, who could be a top-five pick in April.
The Raiders have talked to Aaron Glenn, Ben Johnson and Steve Spagnuolo for their open head coaching job and are scheduled to talk to Pete Carroll and Robert Saleh next week.
