According to reports, Florida State nearly hired Deion Sanders to be the head football coach of the Seminoles but decided against it at the last minute.
Isaiah Bolden, a current CB for the New England Patriots and a former Jackson State recruit of Coach Prime, claims that the offer to hire Deion Sanders as Florida State’s head football coach was abruptly withdrawn. “That CU Buffs Football athletic director deserves some sort of recognition; he got balls.” He offered Deion Sanders a chance when he was rejected by Arkansas and Florida State. “God is good,” Luther said. Bolden responded to Luke Campbell’s tweet by saying, “TRUTH! What FSU might have been. Last-minute legitimate offer taken away, smh no bs.
During the 2024 season, when Mike Norvell’s program collapsed 1-9, there was a lot of talk about Sanders going to FSU. Although former NFL MVP and Heisman winner Cam Newton stated on November 15 that Tallahassee would have been a better fit, Coach Prime has also been connected to the Dallas Cowboys. “I do think Florida State University is a wonderful fit for Prime. According to Newton (via On SI), “It makes the most sense because you have more resources and more time to build a foundation than, respectfully, Colorado.” “I’m considering Bobby Bowden, a coach at Florida State who stands out and has the ability to leave a lasting legacy. He wouldn’t likely have the same amount of time in Dallas.
