NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders offered new comments Sunday night regarding Florida State and the head coaching vacancy.

Sanders’ name emerged as a candidate thanks to multiple NFL reporters earlier in the week.

Speaking on the NFL Network, “Primetime” has more on the reports.

“I have not spoken to anyone from Florida State regarding this,” Sanders said. “But let me assure you, I am 100 percent, 100 percent desiring to coach at the next level and I will.”

New comments from Sanders come a day after he told Clay Travis, ““It’s hard to be a candidate when you haven’t even talked to anyone from your alma mater,”

Sanders, 52, only previously coached in high school.

He helped found the Prime Prep Academy in 2012, but he was removed as the football coach following assault allegations against him by a school staffer, per CBS Sports. In 2015, Sanders was named the CEO of FOCUS Academies and the head coach of Triple A Academy.

Most recently, Sanders was Cedar Hill (Texas) Trinity Christian's offensive coordinator in 2017. He coached his sons at the school, including Shilo Sanders, now a freshman defensive back for South Carolina.

While names like Mark Stoops or Mike Norvell have more realistic momentum, Sanders has plenty of celebrity support, including LeBron James and Jerry Jones.

"I've actually watched him coach," Jones said. "I've watched him work with younger players in the pros and he's outstanding. He has all the credibility that you could ever imagine, both from knowing what he's talking about, plus the sensitivity or the perception that he has with people skills.

"He's really good and he generates excitement. So, with that energy package he's got, along with his understanding of how to maximize your talent ... I think he can coach that. He'd be a great coach."

Florida State fired Willie Taggart after last week's loss to Miami with a national coaching search underway. Taggart lasted just 21 games as head coach after the Seminoles chose him as Jimbo Fisher's replacement in Tallahassee.

“I thought he was fired prematurely,” ESPN's Desmond Howard said. “When you look at the schedule and look at what they accomplished. He had an uphill struggle. He had to really come in and change a very toxic culture. I think when you look at Willie Taggart the writing was on the wall once the man that hired him left, [former FSU Director of Athletics] Stan Wilcox. Once Stan left FSU, then Willie is out there all by himself and now you have a new AD, David Coburn, who said during the week after the Syracuse game that they had made significant progress. He thought that Willie would be able to recruit himself out of this situation, but then eight days later, he fires Willie. I don’t think he gave him the full amount of opportunities to try to prove himself. He should have at least allowed him to finish out this season.”
