In the wake of Texas A&M University firing its HC Jimbo Fisher, sports analyst, and former Lions QB Dan Orlovsky has put Deion Sanders’ name up for the golden opportunity. There’s a strong debate revolving around the same. While Coach Prime has proven to be a transformative force for the struggling Colorado side, their strong start is now being plagued with some serious playing deficits.

While Prime has declined a move to the NFL many times, coaching a different NCAA team might still be in the cards for him. With his great coaching prowess, Sanders would be the ideal candidate to join Texas A&M. But, Jason Whitlock, another popular analyst has taken potshots against Sanders and invited some heated debate contrasting Orlovsky’s opinion.

Jason Whitlock is against Deion taking over the Texas A&M coaching

The sports world was rocked when Texas A&M University dropped a bombshell, revealing the dismissal of Head Coach Jimbo Fisher last Sunday. With the coaching position left vacant, the university made headlines by unveiling a staggering $76 million contract for the next head coach.

Several pundits were of the view that Deion Sanders could take on the role. However, the potential move faced staunch opposition from an expected source—Colorado’s outspoken critic, Jason Whitlock. Venturing onto platform X, Whitlock launched a scathing attack against Sanders, injecting a dose of controversy into the unfolding narrative.

Sharing tweets on the social media platform, Whitlock highlighted that Deion’s move would be considered “dishonest”. Whitlock has never missed a chance to degrade Prime Time, but this time his opinions are receiving strong logical criticism from fans. While the Buffs won’t be able to make it to LA Bowl this year, compared to last year they are in a much better position now. The question becomes though: will the $76 million offer motivate Deion to change sides?

Can Deion Sanders move to Texas University?

Coach Prime and Colorado is a story that fairytales are made of.  It’s an underdog story that everyone loves. For Sanders, he has been the backbone of Colorado’s revival. Deion’s manager denied any reports of the former CB switching sides earlier last month. So, it is safe to say that the former 10X Pro-Bowler’s heart lies in Boulder where he’s a cult figure!

The Colorado’s side once again fell short of victory against the Wildcats. But this shouldn’t demoralize them as the side will have two chances to redeem itself. The two remaining fixtures against Washington State and Utah are crucial for Colorado to walk away with their heads held high!

Jimbo Fisher’s firing could have been an opportunity for Deion Sanders. While the criticism was strong from Whitlock’s end, it’s great to see the former players come in support of the HC. Coach Prime deserves his respect for what he has achieved in Colorado.
