Deion Sanders is absolutely going to listen to Power 5 job offers, because he feels his coaches deserve more money

Deion Sanders has changed the culture of Jackson State and HBCU football. More than ever, HBCU football is being talked about week in and week out, and Coach Prime is even getting noticed by some Power 5 jobs. There have been rumors that Coach Prime could be approached by several big Power 5 schools at the end of the year. Well, in an interview with 60 minutes, Deion said he would be crazy not to entertain the job offer, but not for the reasons you were thinking.

Sanders says that his staff’s salaries do not measure up when compared to the rest of college football salaries. If he was to move to an SEC or ACC job, he would bring his assistant coaches with him, and they would see a significant pay bump.

If approached by a Power Five school, would Deion Sanders be receptive? “I’m going to have to entertain it. Straight up. I’d be a fool not to,” Sanders says, adding that his concern is for his assistants, who are underpaid by college football standards. https://t.co/idBPwvNnHl pic.twitter.com/ahRAQPAQmx

Prime said he would absolutely listen to Power 5 offers, but is not interested in NFL jobs.

Deion has turned the Jackson State football program around and they are landing 5 star prospects and big time players left and right. If Deion does get to a big Power 5, he could end up taking over the college ranks.
