Coaching search speculation has Deion Sanders squarely in the crosshairs of the fanbase. Scottay from Offscript TV stops by and talks the Prime effect on Jackson St, the SWAC, and the SEC.
The Auburn Football head coaching vacancy is cause for speculation among the Auburn faithful. With an undeniable failure with the hiring of Bryan Harsin, the fanbase is even more vocal and anxious about who the choice will be for the next head coach. The usual SEC favorites keep coming up, with Lane Kiffin and Hugh Freeze receiving frequent mention.
The name that many fans and recruits seem extremely high on is Jackson St’s current head coach and NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders. His noted energy, notoriety, and his ability to relate to and recruit young black recruits has fans salivating at the idea of Auburn dominating the spotlight and the recruiting rankings quickly with Coach Prime at the helm.
The real question is the SEC ready for Deion? Lane Kiffin is the watered down kool-aid version of Deion Sanders. You think you’ve seen trolling? You think you’ve seen pizzazz? You haven’t seen anything (…) Wherever Coach Prime touches down at, it’s a story. (…) Nick Saban and Kirby Smart don’t want no smoke.

Deion Sanders hasn’t made his intentions or availability clear since he’s been the coach at Jackson St. Does he plan to stay there forever? Is his intention solely to boost HBCUs with his presence? Is there more to be gained at the P5 level? Would a job as big as Auburn be more of a benefit or a hindrance to his long-term goals? Ike Jones and Scottay from OffScript TV take on all things prime in this episode of The Auburn Express.
