The reporting around Deion Sanders and Colorado from Bruce Feldman plays to me like he's pushing Colorado's interest. Colorado wants it known that if Sanders isn't coaching there, it wasn't for a lack of trying. "Job has been offered, coach is considering" isn't that far off from the "reporting" earlier this week about Lane Kiffin jumping to Auburn.

This..  Nothing is close to over yet. The danger for USF is getting tied up in a situation waiting on an answer when he they good coaches are moving around.

The announcement will be made today at 8am.

I’d like Deion to be our coach. That said, I don’t want a crazy-ass narcissistic megalomaniac to be our coach. So maybe everything will work out as it should.

Did CU make his offer publicly known? Because all I’ve seen are press reports but nothing official from CU. Maybe I missed it.

If CU has made an offer, what’s Deion waiting on? Leverage/other opportunities? His bowl game isn’t until Dec. 17 so that’s a long way to wait, if that’s his hold up. 

I don’t see how anything you’ve said above forecloses the possibility that USF interviewed and DID make Deion an offer, which he hasn’t accepted (at least, not yet).

I think the possibility (and that’s all it is at this point) that he comes to USF is still on the table.

Maybe he gave them time off during the holiday and doesn't to bring them in until they were supposed to be back?

You always see the dreaded Sunday\Monday last minute meeting that gets announced when this stuff goes down.

Not only is nothing close to over, but seeing this kind of reporting out really strongly indicates to me that Colorado is not the front runner for Sanders.

I think it’s obvious this story came from the Colorado side, not Deion’s team, given the framing, given the reporter (PAC-12 partner ESPN), which isn’t something you would need to leak if you believe you are in a position of strength. If Colorado thought they were the front runner for Sanders, then they wouldn’t need to leak that they offered him a contract and are waiting on him.

The only reason Deion would leak this would be to get his preferred team to up their offer. It would be a leverage play with someone else. Otherwise, what, he’s negotiating with his preferred future employer (this would be assuming he wants Colorado) through the press? That’s not a good way to start a professional relationship.

The framing of this report makes me feel stronger about our chances with Sanders, and I don’t think that’s an unreasonable take once you analyze this reporting from all possible angles.
