Through the transfer portal, Deion Sanders revitalized the Colorado football program by recruiting his sons and top players from Jackson State.

Immediately at the start of the season, Colorado was the focus of the nation after upsetting No. 17 TCU and winning its next two games against Nebraska and Colorado State.

The team's losses against top Pac-12 opponents resulted in a 4-8 record, including a six-game losing streak. Despite Sanders' commitment to Colorado, opportunities for growth and advancement may always be available.

Barry Switzer, a former coach for the Dallas Cowboys and Oklahoma Sooners, predicts that Sanders will eventually depart Colorado and find a new location that better suits him.

Deion is going to do what's best for him, and I understand that he's trying to establish himself in Colorado, but he'll ultimately go with what fits him, as Switzer said on OutKick's 'Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich.'

"I didn't do that when I was at Oklahoma. I had one of the best jobs in the country here in the '70s and '80s, but I wasn't going anywhere. I wished they paid me more, but it was a different time and era."

The Cowboys’ head coaching job may attract Sanders once the 2024 NFL season ends, and his sons, Shedeur and Shilo, may enter the NFL Draft after the college football season, making the professional jump even more tempting.

In January, Robert Griffin III was informed by Coach Prime that he had no desire to coach in the professional league.

The ex-NFL quarterback said on his podcast that he would never coach pros because he believed that the players he played with were getting paid well but didn't want to play. He wondered how he would handle such players as a coach. In college, he believed he could regulate this issue, but at the next level, he felt that the players didn't even want to practice anymore.

"I believe the game is improving because athletes are exceptional now, but I can't participate. I enjoy the college game because I can still impact the athletes' minds and games. I appreciate the opportunity to shape and mold them. I can't do that on the next level."
