Florida State University has ruled out Colorado head coach Deion Sanders as a candidate for its football coaching vacancy, according to reports published Tuesday.
The Seminoles' decision comes amid ongoing speculation about the program's future leadership. Sanders, who has led the Colorado Buffaloes since 2023, was among the names circulating in connection with the Florida State position.
Sanders was on the sidelines for Colorado's game against the Oklahoma State Cowboys at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma, on October 24, 2026, as the Buffaloes prepared for their matchup.
Florida State's coaching search continues as the program evaluates other potential candidates to lead the Seminoles football team.
