The Florida State Seminoles are in desperate need of change. As reality continues to shrink around them, it seems current head coach Mike Norvell isn’t the change FSU needs. Until something does change, you can sure bet a name commonly circulated around Florida State’s head coaching seat will, of course, be Deion Sanders.
Deion Sanders to FSU? ESPN analyst believes it's imminent
Deion Sanders is all but on the move, if you believe one ESPN analyst.
Booger McFarland brought up the possibility of the current Jackson State coach moving on to Florida State on ESPN’s College Football Football Podcast. And he told Kevin Negandhi that he saw Sanders to Florida State as “imminent.”

“Doesn’t it almost feel like Florida State and Deion Sanders are on a collision course?” McFarland asked, according to the Mississippi Clarion Ledger.
“Exactly!” Negandhi said.
“Doesn’t it almost feel like we’re wasting time,” McFarland said. “Deion is doing his thing, proving that he can run a program. He’s proving that he can lead. And he may be the most famous Florida State alum ever. Doesn’t it feel like they’re on a collision course? I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if in the next year or two they make that move.”
Like others McFarland was skeptical about Sanders’ plans to coach, but he’s made McFarland a believer.
“But he’s shown that he wants to do all the work,” McFarland said. “Yes, he’s still flashy. He’s still Coach Prime. And I think that as he gets more experience, he will continue to know when he can be Coach Prime, and when he has to be the coach of X, Y, Z — whatever that school is, because there’s a difference.
“One, I’m promoting me and my brand. The other, I’m promoting the school in which I work for. … You can promote your brand, I think, at Jackson State, but when you go to a Power 5 school, it’s about the school. I think Deion, he’ll get all of that.
“But it just feels like, man, the inevitable is Florida State and Deion.”
Jackson State is off to a 2-1 start this season, and the Tigers had a winning record last season.
