Like a car wreck on the side of the road, I suppose.
NFL Network analyst and Hall of Famer Deion Sanders has emerged as a candidate for the Florida St. head coaching job, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. A fascinating situation that could unfold.

After thinking about it this could be a smart move on FSU’s part. Sanders will garner publicity and put them in the national spotlight and he just might end up being a good coach.(can’t be worse than Taggart) I’m thinking that he’d be a great recruiter. Worst case, he rights the ship while they search for a viable long-term solution.

Worst case is so much worse than righting the ship.

Prime Time hasn’t coached a day in his life. Why anyone would think this will end well is beyond me.

Pretty sure he’s been coaching at the high school level.

So he’s a HS coach? Yep, he’s definitely ready to run a major college program. I mean, heck, look how well it worked out for Notre Dame and Gerry Faust.

There would be an additional entertainment plus for Dawg fans: He would match Dopey Dan word for word in the trash talking dept. I would love it. Another benefit for us would be that Neon would out recruit Mullen, further eroding FU’s talent base.

Deion has successfully coached at Trinity Christian high school in Texas (his son’s school) for a couple of years, with winning two state championships in their division. He also keeps active on the NFL network but whether he’s willing to change gears completely is something else. I’d like to see it happen!

To add some color, TC has had sanctions put on it for “recruiting” & academic violations and is dually leaving its private school athletic association. All under the lead of PrimeTime. This after Prime Prep fell on its face several years back for similar….and total cluster-fuckitis by parents & admin.
“The Jameis effect” has another 20+ years to run the program into abiss — would love to see Deion at FSU so he could bury the former all women school.

Oh please please please let this happen. I really don’t give a shit about the school or the program unless they’re on our schedule, but I just want to see the fan reaction in Gainesville. In the meantime, Jameis U. can enjoy all the showboaty bullshit that Neon is sure to bring. They think they want that hype now, but with that fucker’s ego and eccentricities, they will eventually rue the day they hired him.

Anyone can be a great head coach. Just ask us commenters.

According to my FSU friends they have no money. Maybe they could get Primetime at a discount and give the program a shot in the arm.

I can think of an experienced HC at the P5 level who’d take the job for $2M per year, two burner phones, and a hospital bed.

Honestly, I’m surprised they aren’t looking hard at Freeze. He’s Bowden on steroids and available cheaply right now.

Probably the best hire they could make. When Taggart first got the job at FSU he invited Neon over and walked around with him smiling, pointing at him and asking the players if they knew who he was, duh!!!!!
