Would you want the Colorado coach to lead the Silver and Black?
Deion Sanders has “very strong interest” in @Raiders head coaching job. My story on the Colorado coach having his eye on Las Vegas opening: https://t.co/eteHsmB0wW

The attraction for Sanders is the potential opportunity to coach his sons Shedeur and Shilo Sanders at the next level as he did at Colorado. Shedueur is a quarterback who is expected top be draft at or near the top of the draft. Shilo is a safety who is considered a late-round prospect. Sanders has recently said that’s the only way he would coach a team in the NFL.
The Raiders have the No. 6 pick, but in a weak quarterback class they have no clear path for a quarterback. The teams with the top three picks, the Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns and New York Giants all need a quarterback, so it would be no sure thing that Sanders gets reunited with his sons even if the Raiders were to hire him.
The Raiders reportedly have had interviews with three candidates: Aaron Glenn, Ben Johnson and Steve Spagnuolo and reportedly will talk to Pete Carroll, Todd Monken and Robert Saleh in the coming days with more possible interviews to come.
The Athletic reported Sunday the Raiders have no interest in Sanders. How do you feel?
Do you like the Sanders idea or do you thinking going in another direction is the right call for Las Vegas?
