It is no secret that NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is a huge fan of the Dallas Cowboys. The four-time NBA champion wanted Deion Sanders to take over as the head coach of the Cowboys. He made this suggestion during his ‘Big Podcast with Shaq’ in February. Sanders was the head coach of Jackson State at the time and he respectfully declined Shaq’s offer. Recently, Sanders agreed to become the next head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, which prompted Shaq to send him a four-word message.
In the latest episode of the ‘Big Podcast with Shaq,’ Shaquille O’Neal and his co-hosts Nischelle Turner and Spice Adams talked about Sanders becoming the head coach of Colorado. As per reports, Sanders signed a contract worth $29.5 million over five years before bonuses and incentives.
