Stephen A. Smith urges Deion Sanders to leave Colorado for Alabama or another SEC job

Can Deion Sanders just be the Colorado head coach for a little while without talking heads pondering his exit?

For the entirety of his tenure in Boulder, Colorado fans have had to endure baseless rumors about Coach Prime's eventual exit from the program. Those rumors hit a fever-pitch this summer with Sanders dealing with at the time unknown health issues. Some assumed Sanders was planning his exit since his sons, Shedeur and Shilo, along with Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, had moved on to the NFL.

Instead, Sanders reaffirmed his commitment to Colorado in an emotional press conference where he revealed he had been battling bladder cancer.
