Speculation abounds that Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders, worth $45 million, might make the jump to the NFL when his son, Shedeur Sanders, is drafted next year. The rumor mill is churning, especially with the Dallas Cowboys’ coaching seat possibly being empty after this season as Mike McCarthy is rumored to be denied a contract extension.
Many believe that Coach Prime might take his place. However, Sanders has mentioned on several occasions that he likes it in Colorado but the media storm continues.
On Saturday, ESPN posted a picture of Sanders and Kansas City Chiefs coach, Andy Reid, standing together in Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. In turn, fans flooded the comment section upon seeing the photograph.

“👀👀 future head coach??” another fan commented.
“‘One day this will all be yours,'” a fan said acting as Reid to Sanders.
The barrage of similar comments followed with a few fans predicting that his sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, are on their way to Kansas City soon.
“Shedeur to the chiefs confirmed,” one fan said.
“Shilo to the Chiefs confirmed,” wrote another fan.
“Coach prime to KC confirmed,” a fan chimed in.
It’s worth noting that Sanders and the Buffaloes are in Kansas City for their Week 13 matchup against the Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday, Nov. 23. Due to ongoing renovations at their own stadium, the Jayhawks have been playing home games at Arrowhead Stadium, the Chiefs’ home turf.
Coach Prime posted the same picture on his IG on Friday, alongside the caption:
“1 of my Heroes, Pure Class, ANDY REID!!!! Enough Said.”
