“Deion shouldn’t be leaving Colorado, on no account mandatory — except he is ready to coach each of his sons, which I don’t assume that’s doable, as a result of sources say that Ben Johnson goes to be the Raiders coach. Like, actual good sources.”
“I don’t assume that Deion goes nowhere. I feel it was good leisure, however I don’t assume that Deion goes to Jerry World.”
Moore going to the Cowboys is a very plausible story. Moore was the offensive coordinator for the franchise underneath Mike McCarthy and had a very good monitor document of working with Dak Prescott.

“I’m not keen to go as far as to say that Ben Johnson is the favourite with the Raiders. I do know the Raiders actually like him. I do know that he has a number of choices — together with Jacksonville, which is a extremely good job — and the [Chicago Bears].”
The #Raiders are desirous about Ben Johnson, and vise-versa. However it’s too early to name him the favourite.

“The Raiders are within the combine, and we’ve talked about this. Tom Brady’s an enormous issue there, as he needs to be. However when you’re Ben Johnson, and you’ve got your decide of the litter, you’re going to take a protracted have a look at the place you could possibly win and the place you could possibly develop.”
“And the Raiders, though lots to be stated about that franchise traditionally, shouldn’t have a quarterback, and they don’t have a roster because the Bears and Jacksonville.”
Based mostly on the mixture of the 2 reviews, evidently, whereas Sanders is probably going to stick with the Colorado Buffaloes, Ben Johnson might nonetheless be wanting elsewhere when it comes to taking on a head teaching function.
