Deion Sanders would become Giants head coach candidate if team drafts Shedeur Sanders

If the Giants draught Colorado backmost Shedeur Sanders successful the NFL Draft’s archetypal circular this April, his father, Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, would instantly go a campaigner to beryllium the Giants’ adjacent caput coach.

It’s a elemental connecting of dots:

Brian Daboll is connected borrowed clip entering his 4th Giants season, with John Mara asking him to springiness up violative play-calling portion Mara was simultaneously praising GM Joe Schoen’s process coming disconnected a 3-14 season.

And Deion Sanders, though helium continuously stresses his emotion for coaching the Colorado Buffaloes, said connected ‘Good Morning America’ that “the lone mode I would see [going to the NFL] is to manager my sons,” the backmost Shedeur and antiaircraft backmost Shilo Sanders.

“Prime Time” besides was publically discussed arsenic an aboriginal campaigner to capable the Dallas Cowboys’ vacancy aft a telephone telephone with proprietor Jerry Jones, which Jones present says was “just a conversation.”

And Sanders reportedly had “a precise beardown interest” successful the Raiders’ caput coaching opening, per the Las Vegas Review-Journal, earlier Vegas clarified they intended to spell successful a antithetic direction.

Schoen’s Tuesday comments astir Shedeur Sanders during an interrogation astatine the Senior Bowl successful Mobile, Ala., meanwhile, included 2 references by the Giants GM to Sanders’ father, Deion.

“He’s a large kid,” Schoen told reporters, per The Athletic. “Really bully personality. Football smart. Dad’s a shot coach. It’s a small spot cliche, but helium checks each the boxes of [having] a dada that’s a shot manager and the passionateness that helium approaches the crippled with.

“It was bully getting the meeting,” Schoen added. “He’s had a truly bully vocation successful Colorado, and evidently [we] look guardant to getting to cognize each those guys the remainder of the process.”

The buyout connected Deion Sanders’ Colorado declaration reportedly is $8 cardinal close present but drops to $5 cardinal aft Dec. 31, 2025, per USAToday.

If Mara wants to soundlessness sound astir his willingness to walk — similar ESPN’s study that Mara “has railed against the NFL for making definite that the league doesn’t person this dormant wealth successful coaches’ salaries” — buying retired Sanders’ declaration with 1 twelvemonth remaining connected Daboll’s would marque a bully case.

Daboll is inactive the Giants’ caput coach, of course. And helium has complained astir the lack of capable backmost play connected his roster.

The Giants scapegoated, unopen down and chopped Daniel Jones this past season. And erstwhile Drew Lock had his champion crippled to bushed the Indianapolis Colts successful Week 17, Daboll went nationalist with his frustration.

Daboll said “you request bully backmost play” and a squad has a accidental to triumph each crippled “if you get bully backmost play.” He said rookies Malik Nabers and Tyrone Tracy Jr. had awesome years “in a play similar this with a assortment of quarterbacks.”

Drafting Shedeur Sanders, then, would springiness Daboll his wish: the tendency to physique a amended contiguous and aboriginal astatine the sport’s astir important position.

It would beryllium an accidental for Daboll to chill down his blistery spot simply by showing results.

Sanders producing much points and wins would marque beingness easier connected everybody, nary 1 much truthful than the embattled caput manager who shares a .363 winning percent with Schoen.

The unit would besides summation connected Daboll simultaneously, though, to amusement those results instantly oregon look the consequences.

The Giants ranked 30th successful the NFL successful scoring successful 2023 (15.6 points per game) and past slipped to 31st successful 2024 (16.1 points per game) erstwhile Daboll took implicit play calling full-time.

So if Daboll’s discourtesy sputtered again aboriginal with Shedeur Sanders nether center, Daboll astir apt wouldn’t adjacent past the afloat play — adjacent if Schoen survived.

It would inactive beryllium excessively aboriginal for the Giants to marque a last judgement connected Sanders, however, if helium and the Giants started dilatory retired of the gross successful his rookie year.

So the adjacent measurement would beryllium to find a manager amended astatine creating solutions and civilization than Daboll has been.

Maybe Schoen would merchantability internally that the Giants conscionable request the close coach, conscionable similar Daboll has sold publically that they conscionable request the close quarterback.

That script would pb consecutive to Deion Sanders arsenic a campaigner to perchance revitalize the Giants and decently enactment his son, Shedeur.

He knows the league. He has revitalized a assemblage program. He knows his lad best.

And if Shedeur Sanders is the Giants’ No. 3 wide pick, determination volition beryllium thing much important than getting the champion shot enactment retired of him.

So if hiring his accomplished begetter becomes the champion mode to bash that, past truthful beryllium it.
