The Voice of REason: Rich Eisen FULLY Endorses FSU Hiring Deion Sanders as Head Coach | 11/8/19

[@TentomushiHH]

Ed Reed at the U and Primetime at FSU would be Lit 😂

[@TILLEYJS]

Absolutely approve this statement.

[@dektran4843]

ed reed goes home and coaches the free safeties at lsu.

[@change929]

also a disaster

[@steverogers7247]

Bro the coaching staffs at each college would change history. Just think of the U and their 2000 football program. Vince wilfork for d line. Ray lewis for Linebackers, ed Reed for safteys.Devin Hester on special teams. Frank Gore running backs coach

[@pitbull64]

With all the talk that schools and universities aren't hiring minority candidates, Deion could blow this wide open and provide opportunities for so many people.

[@get2choppa]

he will be filling a coaching vacancy last held by a black guy. your logic doesnt hold up

[@Britton_Thompson]

That's the problem with the sports fan's mentality in 2019: This is competitive sports, not medical or legal practices. It's not about "providing opportunities" or making empowering gestures to people who've felt overlooked historically. It's about telling the country you're an elite program, where only the best, and most proven coaches are candidates for your job opening. Hiring Deion Sanders doesn't tell America that Florida State is committed to "providing opportunities". It says they're a raging, poisonous tire fire that couldn't get anyone more qualified to take the job.

Me too bruh he can get coordinators to take some pressure off him

[@cityhawk]

It could be a Larry Bird-like situation. It’s the name that brings in credibility. Whatever deficiencies he’d have on the Xs and Os, the coaching staff would more than mask them. It’s an out-of-the-box kind of idea with Deion, and it doesn’t hurt to gamble, especially with someone who is familiar with the program, familiar with recruiting in the state of Florida, and understands what it takes to get to the NFL. Why not. You’ve tried with a less than inspiring hire in Taggart, why not bring in someone that will make some heads turn. I agree with Rich here, recruiting would be his best asset. He has the charisma, the showmanship, and swagger to convince a blue-chipper to come to Tallahassee, and sway them away from Miami and Gainesville.

[@noleblooded9125]

Mamba Bite Plus, I think it would put a bit of a scare into Nick Saban. Who do you think the player is going to be more wowed by, Deion, a HOF DB with multiple Super Bowl rings or Nick Saban with multiple national championship rings? If the kid wants to be a star in the NFL, Deion could tell him how, because he was an NFL superstar. Nick, even with his accolades at the college level, couldn’t do that. If a program is in need of a shot in the arm, Deion would be worth rolling the dice on.

[@James-pf6mr]

Please as a fsu fan hire this man !

This is a no brainer, Deion would be an excellent coach think of the recruiting power he would bring, and his coaching staff would be excellent. He is well respected by former players and players today. He know the X,s and O, of the game. Most importantly he will gain the respect of the players because they trying to get where he has already been (Pro Football). Being a man a faith is his biggest asset, kids now days need direction because everyone is not going to make the pros.

So as a cane fan I hope they roll the dice and fail miserably (kinda). I don't think the decision makers at FSU will take the HUGE risk that hiring Sanders is. The correct choice is hiring an experienced head coach that has at least some experience with recruiting South Florida. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter cuz the Miami Hurricanes are a year away from being a top 5 football team and staying there for as long as Manny Diaz stays a college coach!

Andre gave James all kinds of problems and became the MVP of the series, not the HOFers. That adjustment is what made Kerr great!

[@JeffLynnesELO2025Tour]

Per Yahoo sports...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. FSU sure looks like its shopping for a coach with name recognition to help restore the football program. But Sanders has no college football coaching experience. Also per NCAA rules...Does he have his Bachelor's degree from FSU?

[@butchsamide4282]

In order to be a head college in college football, you must have a college degree, which Deion never got, so it is impossible for Deion to be a head coach soon. Would be a great hire in maybe 7 or 8 years, but there is no way for him to be a head coach so soon

[@Think1stMedia]

That's not totally true. The Athletic Director can easily make an exception if he choses. Deion has so,much football experience that his lack of a degree wouldn't matter. However becaise of his lack of. Coaching experience at the Collegiate Level and FSU in rebuilding mode; I would strongly advise not to hire him.

[@massachusettssportscentral9444]

If you are talking NFL I would see being a little hesitant to throw a guy in there with no formal coaching experience at a level close to that level before. The nuts and bolts are more important at the Pro level. In college though it is about recruiting! Prime will have an advantage over all but the top couple of programs the second he is hired in luring top recruits to FSU. Bring in a few experienced coordinators to make sure the onfield stuff runs smooth until he gets his sea legs and they will be off and running. Can't see any possible downside to this if he wants it.

Plus, Florida is really good right now, and Miami will be back soon...it would be hard for him to dominate recruiting in the state of Florida also.

[@fjgiie]

Two comments - what are you talking about, and the young men would not know who he was. How long would he coach?

[@nickthekid9868]

All he needs to do is get either an OG offensive coordinator or defensive coordinator that's had experience winning big games and maybe even National Championships and keep him around to show him the ropes for the first year or two while he changes the sorry ass culture and brings back recruiting. And this is coming from a Florida fan.

[@drevm7991]

NickTheKid 98 That’s not a simple thing to do.

[@Think1stMedia]

What OC or DC would want to do all of the work and let Deion get all of the credit??? Also if the OC or DC are actually doing the heavy lifting, players are gonna get to a point of not respecting their head coach. I'm a Florida fan too. Hiring him as HC is a stupid idea. However if they do, we are going to enjoy easily whuppin his teams.

[@Think1stMedia]

LOL as a Gators Fan Please Hire Deion Sanders. He is unproven and FSU is in rebuilding mode. He was a great player but if Great Players were great coaches, Michael Jordan would be the greatest GM/Owner. FSU needs a proven winner to get rhem back to Glory. FSU listen to these dummies if you want to and when it fails its on you. None of these media dummiea will lose their jobs when your alum gets frustrated 3 to 4yrs down the line. However if you do hire him as your HC we are gonna enjoy beating the breaks off of you.

[@fobbitoperator3620]

FSU is run by a bunch of snooty soft hands academics, who do not look at qualities like charisma, recruiting dominance, connections, & all around attraction capabilities that Neon Prime would bring to the table. The academics look at coaching experience in years, what teams he's coached, & the status of the schools he's coached at. It would make too much sense to hire Prime as their HC. Academics aren't down with breaking the status quo. They're in a damn bubble of non-reality...

[@AA-su8lg]

The notion that bringing in an analyst to coach a high profile power 5 football team like FSU and expecting him to be successful, is actually laughable. The example provided by Eisen that it has worked for other MLB teams makes little sense since there are many more things on a football team that a successful coach has to be good at. I don’t doubt that, once he gains experience, Sanders could succeed. However, to put him in that position when you just got done paying Taggart almost 20 million to walk away, would be irresponsible. I love Deion and consider him the greatest cover corner of all time in college and the NFL. There’s no question he would energize recruiting and would bring positive attention to the program, however, every successful college football coach has worked his way up the ladder. Just ask Notre Dame how it worked for them when they hired Gerry Faust out of high school. As long time FSU Football fan, I would be more comfortable with his hiring as an assistant and letting him work his way up.
