      That’s what Drake C. Toll is saying on Locked on Big 12. If true, it’s just about what everyone predicted seeing as he has zero ties to Colorado and his sons and Travis Henry are gone.

      A large number of national media sites are reporting about it. This is just one, in case anyone is interested. Where there’s smoke…

      Deion Sanders has ‘very strong interest’ in Raiders job as NFL whispers grow louder

      Drake Toll is the definition of fake news, I don’t take anything he says seriously

        I get it…however, in this case, he’s reporting on something that’s getting some traction nationwide. I know because I checked before I made the comment on here. Just Google “Deion Sanders Las Vegas Raiders” and see what you come up with.

      This would be the least shocking thing ever. He was only doing what he did to help his kid get to the next level.

      Deion Sanders is basically that one a-hole dad you’ve all seen at your kids’ sports games, except that he was actually a star and his kid is actually pretty good.

      Well wouldn’t surprise me if he left. What does Colorado do if he does though? This would be a tough time to try and replace a whole coaching staff.

        That’s easy…Colorado goes back to the scrub status it had before Sanders showed up. Anyone that thinks it’s a “destination” without his presence is delusional. And it’s not only the coaching staff that would need to be replaced. All those recruits brought in by Sanders would most certainly not be going to Colorado.

      Toll is a clown. Every opportunity he gets, he talks s**t about Utah. To each their own, I avoid his content like a plague. I do hope this is true though. Would love to see Colorado go back to being a dumpster fire.

        You know, I ran into him on the TRAX on the way to the BYU game at RES and he seemed like a nice guy. LOL, he was shocked that I recognized him. I had a 5-10 minute conversation with him and, like all entertainers, he appears to have a public and private persona.

          That doesn’t surprise me. Regardless of that though, his public persona annoys me. He, like others got his panties in a twist when Utah fans weren’t completely elated to join the Big 12.

            LOL…you should have seen his face when I asked him, out loud, on the TRAX, “Hey Drake, why are you always ragging on Utah and calling Whitt Crazy Uncle Kyle?”…it was priceless…

      Seems like the least surprising news of the NFL offseason if it happens. It’d be good to have Colorado go back to the mean

      First of all, there are numerous reports that Deion is interested, but nothing is official or imminent. It also doesn’t mean the Raiders are interested. It may happen. It may not.

      Second of all, Toll is the biggest hack in Big12 related circles. If you look up “clickbait bullshi**er” in the dictionary, there’s a picture of him. You’d be far better off never watching one of his videos again.

        From Jeremy Fowler, ESPN NFL reporter:

        Another thing worth knowing: When I polled league executives on Colorado coach Deion Sanders’ prospects as an NFL head coach, they were nearly unanimous that Las Vegas would be the best — and possibly only — fit. The bright lights and the Davis family’s propensity for splash would coalesce with Sanders, who seems committed to Colorado but is an intriguing interview prospect. My guess is teams such as Vegas would at least want to hear what he has to say.
