TAMPA (SNN-TV) – Jackson State head coach Deion Sanders has reportedly “been in discussions with power-brokers” to potentially fill vacancies at Colorado or South Florida, according to Carl Reed of 247Sports.
Auburn also has an opening, although the school is expected to go in a different direction and has not had contact with Sanders. The Pro Football Hall of Famer is in his third year with Jackson State, leading the HBCU team to an 11-0 record this season for the first time in school history.
Colorado is just 1-10 this season and fired Karl Dorrell after an 0-5 start., and South Florida is also 1-10 and fired Jeff Scott after he produced a 4-26 record across two-plus seasons. South Florida would be closer to home for the Florida State alum and already has built-in recruiting ties.
