I was hoping for some feedback on my theory but no luck so far.
I am suggesting that Deion was a candidate for 5-10 minutes until that aggravating little thing called qualifications came to the surface and everyone realized that Deion cannot be a coach because he has not graduated from college.
By quietly stating that he is not a candidate, FSU is able to save Deion from the obvious embarrassment of having to admit that he was never even a college student back in the day.
Can anyone out there with knowledge confirm that a degree is required?
