Meh.

If so, they will probably be able to cover, but avoid tackling like Deion avoided class his last semester at F$U.

 

[aka]

I'll see your Deion and raise you a Harvin.

If it gets him off TV, then more power to them. Dude is annoying as ****

Couldn't imagine someone who excelled on pure alone talent like Sanders would be a very good coach. He might help in recruiting but hell these kids weren't even born when he last played were they? He might be good enough to get taggart to a .500 career winning percentage after a decade or so at FSU.

That’s what I was thinking. His world-class speed is what made him great.

I just can't see him leaving the spotlight. He's called "primetime" for a reason; he likes being in the spotlight. He won't get that as a position coach.... Or he steps on the HC's toes trying to be in charge.

He was a hell of a player, he just doesn't seem like the type to be a position coach.

Isn't his son in college somewhere right now?

Beat me to it. I was going to say, if it gets his ugly mug off tv, I am all for it.

He’d have to take commands and coaching from Tag and whoever his D coordinator is going to be. I can’t see deon being told what to do. I just don’t.

 

[AlexDaGator]

Cover beat me to it.

Deon hated tackling. That’s why he can never be the GOAT at corner.

He doesn’t know the first damn thing about tackling.


Alex.

I like it, only because it’s revealing the fall of that school. Reminds me of hiring Charlie Weis. That whole coaching transition there smells like the Muschamp era.

 

[Ancient Reptile]

Don't know if he can coach, but he will be a heck of a recruiter. And the fact that the kids don't know him won't matter. It's the personality.

He could go as Leon Sandcastle

Aside - After their game today, Odell Haggins thanked all the assistants including Brad Lawing and Bill Miller.

Joe Kines, a great DC at UF and of course Mickey Andrews were fixtures at F$U after getting nailed in the Pell mess at UF.

I cannot recall a single ex-Nole ever on UF’s coaching staff. Can you?

 

[heversle]

Kids barely know who Michael Jordan is these days. They definitely won’t know who Deion Sanders is. And I highly doubt he’ll leave a cushy job as an analyst to coach under a guy that is unproven like Taggart. Too risky.

I notice you didnt mention dwags and coCaines.

Obvious - Muschamp, Shannon. Bill Miller was at scUM for awhile and claims Ray Lewis on his resume. I’m not one to get too hung up on that. Just noting that a number of critical Nole coaches had UF ties but none have come the other way that I can recall off the top of my head.

Maybe it’s kind of like the golden rule of admissions: No one ever got into UF and rejected by F$U. Ever.

Deion is a media whore. If he can't be mugging in front of a TV camera he won't be happy.
His value as a coach for Taggart won't be that high. IMO, Taggert will be wasting a coaching position
on the guy. The things that made Deion great can't be taught. His innate abilities are what
made him a once in a lifetime player.
