NFL Hall of Famer and former Florida State star Deion Sanders made the rounds at Super Bowl radio row while in Miami. In addition to his NFL Network responsibilities, he gladly spoke with many members of the media to give his thoughts about the matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.

However, Sanders is ready for a different role in football. Back in November, it was reported he was a candidate for the Florida State head coaching job.

Sanders appeared on Mad Dog Radio on Sirius XM and discussed with hosts Steve Torre and former Florida State quarterback Danny Kanell about his desire to coach.

Kanell asked Sanders how serious the talks were with the Florida State administration and Sanders did not hold back.

“Very serious,” Sanders said. “I didn’t just want it. We were in depth. (We) got into real communications. I can talk now, freely. I met with everybody. They flew down to Dallas and I laid out a plan: what I’m going to do for your university over the next several years. Here’s my 30 day plan, 60 day plan and here’s how it’s going to go down. We’re going to be in it to win it, for certain.”

Because of the inexperience at the collegiate level, in terms of coaching, recruiting was the biggest concern for Sanders if he were to be the head coach of a major university.

“I do that now,” Sanders said when asked about recruiting. “I’ve been coaching high school football for some time now. Three state championships, back-to-back-to-back. We send kids to college. I’ve seen all three sides. I’m the parent who the guys are recruiting, I’ve been the player and I’ve been the coach. I know every side of this thing. It’s not simplistic but I get it.”

Since Mike Norvell got the job with the Seminoles, Sanders explained how the process worked with Florida State but did not get into too many specifics regarding his staff. However, he teased an interesting nugget.

“I had assembled five former head coaches on my staff,” Sanders said. “I had a staff two deep in case I didn’t get someone. I showed them a game plan to recruit and emphasized that if you don’t win the state of Florida, you can forget it.

“When you’re doing that and you’re in the interview round, you can’t talk,” Sanders said in regards to keeping the reports quiet. “Don’t say anything.”

Apparently, Florida State was not the only school to talk to Sanders about coaching and he is prepared to coach next season or in 2021 when the next round of coaching vacancies appear.

“I had other interviews as well with other major power five universities,” Sanders said. “I’m going to coach in college next year and I can’t wait. I look forward to it.”

Perhaps if a certain coaching vacancy opens up, still in the state of Florida, Sanders would not mind a run at that job.

“My son will be here Friday and we are going on a visit to Miami,” Sanders said. “I want to do it (be a head coach) the way I want to do it.”
