Coach Prime explains why he prefers to coach in college football rather than the NFL

Coach Prime prefers working with younger players at the collegiate level rather than going to the NFL to work with pros.

While Deion Sanders said several times throughout the offseason that he wanted to stay at Colorado, there were rumors that he would take an NFL job. Those rumors did not end until the coaching job at Dallas was filled. Shortly after this decision was made, Deion Sanders appeared on 'We Got Time Today' to explain why he prefers coaching at this level.

"I couldn't coach pro ball. That's why I say, I couldn't coach -- I know it was cute -- but I couldn't coach pro ball, because the way they practice, the way they go about it, I couldn't take it. As a man, and as a football enthusiast, and I care about the game. The game is still providing for Troy and I, so there is no way I could allow that to happen on my watch. That would be tough."

As the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, Deion Sanders has the opportunity to teach his players how to play and practice the right way. He can instill good habits in them so that they have a higher chance of succeeding when they reach the NFL.
