Colorado's Deion Sanders Dismisses Texas A&M Coaching Rumors
Buffaloes Coach Focused on Current Season Amid Speculation
- Deion Sanders, head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, has dismissed rumors that he is interested in the recently vacated coaching position at Texas A&M, stating 'I'm here' and 'I'm good'.
- Sanders' name was floated as a potential candidate for the Texas A&M job after the university dismissed Jimbo Fisher, with the university owing Fisher a contract buyout of approximately $77 million.
- Despite a strong start to the season with three consecutive wins, the Colorado Buffaloes have since lost six of their last seven games, and must win their final two games to become bowl-eligible.
- Sanders has three children who are student-athletes at Colorado, having transferred from Jackson State, where he previously coached. If his children were to transfer again, they would possibly have to sit out a season.
- Texas A&M fired coach Jimbo Fisher on Sunday and will pay him a $77 million buyout.
