After a wild week of rumors, Deion Sanders has confirmed himself that he has been offered the CU head coaching job.

Colorado has been searching for a head coach since they parted ways with Karl Dorrell on October 2nd. According to various reports — mostly from Adam Munsterteiger of BuffStampede.com — the Buffs have narrowed their search and apparently favor Sanders over other options such as Ryan Walters, Bronco Mendenhall and Tom Herman.

Sanders confirmed the rumors were true, but said he was focused on the SWAC championship game, in which his undefeated Jackson State will face the Southern Jaguars with a trip to the Celebration Bowl on the line.
