As of the latest information available:

Speculation and Interest: There has been significant speculation about Deion Sanders potentially coaching the New Orleans Saints. Various sources have linked Sanders with the Saints due to the team firing their head coach, Dennis Allen, and seeking a new leader. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has noted that the Saints might be interested in hearing what Sanders has to say, suggesting they could reach out to him during their search for a new head coach.

Sanders' Stance: Deion Sanders has expressed that the only scenario in which he would consider leaving his current position at the University of Colorado for an NFL job is if he could coach both of his sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders. This condition adds a layer of complexity to any potential move to the NFL, as it would depend on where his sons end up, particularly Shedeur, who is projected to be a high draft pick.

Other Considerations:
Sanders has built a strong reputation at the college level, turning around the Colorado Buffaloes program. His success and charisma have made him a notable figure in coaching circles, leading to speculation about his next move.
However, his lack of direct NFL coaching experience might be a concern for some teams, although his playing career and understanding of the professional game could be seen as assets.
The Saints are looking for someone who can potentially bring a "splash" hiring, akin to what Sean Payton represented for them previously. Sanders' high profile fits this mold.

Final Decision: Given these points, while there's clear interest from the Saints and Sanders is being considered, the decision would hinge on several factors:
Sanders' willingness to leave college football for the NFL.
The alignment of his sons' NFL futures with the Saints or another team.
The Saints' evaluation of whether Sanders' coaching style, philosophy, and lack of NFL coaching experience align with their needs.

In summary, while there's a possibility, it's contingent on Sanders' personal conditions, team fit, and how the NFL coaching carousel plays out in relation to his sons. The situation is speculative, and no definitive commitment from either side has been publicly confirmed as of now.

If Sanders is hired I would no longer be able to follow the Saints. He is a horrible coach. He has done absolutely nothing but get his overrated son noticed. I would be ok with Flores, Brady, or Glenn. I would be open to others but those are the names floating around. I'd even be ok with Rizzi returning before Sanders

Yes, it was hard but I did. Sanders has done nothing. 4 total years coaching in college. One small and one mid level college. The dude could not win in a watered down Big 12. He sure wont win in the NFL. Show me any form of proof he deserves a chance and I'll change my mind. Any form whatsoever.

He led a team that hasn’t won more than 5 games since 2016 to
9 wins. They were 1-11 the year before he got there.

Jackson State was 4-8. He led them to an 11-2 record in year 1 and a conference championship. He’s definitely won and amassed talent quickly everywhere he went. We gotta stop discrediting people because we don’t like their personality.

and of course you know this to be fact...in reality it is only your opinion.

In regard to PrimeTime.... the man knows the game, went from player, to businessman, to coaching and is making a name for himself. Just 2 or 3 years ago, the Colorado Buffalo squad were worthy of a mention or two, when they beat a formidable opponent. Today we hear about the Colorado Buffalo squad before the season starts... PrimeTime. Players from Colorado Buffalo squad are being nominated for Heisman (2023 S Sanders; 2024 T Hunter winner)....Primetime. Took a losing team, and turned the losing into winning....Primetime. Give the man a chance...Primetime! All I am saying, and is my opinion, is that Sanders has the right attitude and i believe he can motivate his players to want to win! Ad nauseam, we all know the NFL is more of an "entertainment" platform and whom better to know about football "entertainment"?

Deion knows how to identify and bring in talent, build a formidable coaching staff, and motivate a team. He’d command an unparalleled level of respect in the locker room. His only issue is going to be playing daddy ball because he’s coaching his kids.

I see things a little differently, Id say that Deion would command an unparalleled level of admiration in the locker room for what he did as a player. Deion has always been about Deion, which is globally known and understood, and while his talents on the field have motivated thousands if not tens of thousands of all ages to play the game, admiration for talent does not necessarily translate to the qualities required of a coach that make men stop, listen, and follow.

There is no humility with Deion Sanders and 'daddy ball' is part of Deion being all about Deion, his children are just an extension of him.

In other words admiration for Deion Sanders is in no way shape or form the same as admiration for Shula, Landry, or Belichick. All masters of what they did just not viewed in the same light if you get my meaning.

Show me some form of proof. He has been a coach at JSU for 2 years and UC for 2 years. that does not make a NFL coach. He has not stayed anywhere long enough to evaluate his coaching ability or his ability to bring in players.
