Report: No, Deion Sanders is not a candidate at Florida State

It didn’t take long for refutation of the idea that Deion Sanders is a candidate for the head coaching job at Florida State.

The NFL Network reported Thursday that the Pro Football Hall of Famer and ex-FSU star was among the candidates to replace the fired Willie Taggart. Friday, the Tallahassee Democrat cited two sources within the Florida State athletic department saying Sanders is not being considered for the job.

If you’re in doubt about the validity conflicting reports, we’ll just remind you that Sanders is an analyst for the NFL Network.

The idea of Sanders being a candidate at Florida State always sounded more publicity stunt than reality and the Democrat’s report lends more credence to that theory.
