There are several candidates for the NFL head coaching job, and it seems like Deion Sanders has a “very strong interest” in one.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Colorado Buffaloes head coach is keeping an eye on the Raiders.
Sanders' colleagues reportedly reached out to the team to express interest.

The Raiders fired head coach Antonio Pierce this week after a 4-13 season and his first full season on the job. Two days later, the team fired general manager Tom Telesco after his first season.
Tom Brady, who bought a 5% stake in the franchise last year, will reportedly have a major say in the appointment of the next head coach. And it's no secret that Brady and Sanders are in a relationship.
The Raiders also need a quarterback, and Sanders' son Shedur is widely regarded as one of the top two QBs in the class. Some mock drafts have him being selected No. 1 overall by the Tennessee Titans.
However, Prime recently said that there are teams in the league that don't want Shedul to play.

The father-son duo joined Brady's “Let's Go” podcast last year. Sanders recently said the “only way” he would consider an NFL job was “to coach my sons.”
The Pro Football Hall of Famer committed to Colorado ahead of the 2023 season after spending three seasons at Jackson State University. Several Jackson State players followed Sanders to Boulder. That includes his sons, eventual Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, who could be a top-five pick in April.
The Raiders have interviewed Aaron Glenn, Ben Johnson and Steve Spagnuolo for the open head coaching job and are expected to speak with Pete Carroll and Robert Saleh next week.
