Should be interesting to follow.

Personally, I don't believe extreme talent always translates into teaching skills.  I've seen some really good players (and musicians) that just "got it", and didn't relate to students that needed to work to learn it.

I wish him all the best, except when we're competing with Jackson St lol

If he succeeds he's gone after 2 years, if he doesn't then he's there 2 years before he tires of it and goes back to joining the media. I'm not sure if he's ready for the grind that it takes to be a CFB coach, especially at somewhere like Jackson St.

You may be right, but Sanders doesn't strike me as a person climbing up the coaching tree like other career coaches.  He's already an established media mouth.  He might just be "seeing what it's like", perhaps hoping to coach his son.

Working the NFL beat has always been secondary to Deon. Since his playing days, he has always coached kids. More recently, as the OC coordinator at TCCH, AAA/Focus and Prime Prep Academy. His summer AAU team was billed The Truth. He has never taken a salary. The NFL gigs evidently paid the bills. He generally flew out to the studios the day before games and often time has done remote assignments from Prosper before moving to Cedar Hill. He’s had 3 sons to coach/follow and now feels he is free to accomplish his dream of coaching on the college level.

Good points. I wonder if his son will follow him?

      Considering what he has done with the resources at his disposal, that is “elite”. He had a 146-24 record as a head coach in junior college with a national championship runner-up season. You don’t think he had elite players? At North Texas, he was the primary recruiter of Zach Simmons and somehow kept a great player at the hardest position to fill in college basketball at North Texas for his entire career. Last year, he somehow convinced the 2nd and 3rd best players from a NIT winner to stay at North Texas despite much higher NIL offers elsewhere. This year, he dipped into the transfer portal again and has assembled a team off to one of the strongest starts in program history. That is elite. What do you think a guy like that could do with an even bigger NIL budget?

      Returning Players, Transfers, or Freshmen?

      Chandler Morris WILL get P4 offers similar to what Chandler Rogers got at Cal (which I heard was $250K). And we won’t be able to offer anything near that. But considering his injury history and less impressive 2nd half of the season (including WAY too many interceptions) I don’t see him getting a “Godfather” $1M+ offer to go start somewhere. And while $250K was probably a lot of money to Rogers, Morris’ dad has made MILLIONS coaching and being a returning starter with the potential to put up even bigger numbers would probably be more valuable to him as this is his third school already and his career trajectory after next season will probably be NFL tryout, get cut, begin well-paid college coaching career under one of his dad’s many connections. But it only takes ONE godfather offer to change his mind and never underestimate the desperation of P4 boosters.

      Running game

      The college game keeps evolving and with change comes opportunity. The head coaching job now is a lot different than when SL was here. Football tactics and strategies continue to evolve too and much of the offensive plays that SL ran to become successful have been figured out by defenses. Considering SL has already been fired from his next job, it is likely his tenure here would have continued to go downhill as well.
