It looks like Ray Lewis may benefit from what Deion Sanders has started.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Hall of Fame Baltimore Ravens linebacker has become a major candidate for the next head coach at Florida Atlantic University.
Schefter mentioned Sanders’s success with the Colorado Buffaloes as a reason why college football programs may want to hire former NFL players as coaches.
“Following the Deion Sanders-to-Colorado model, Hall-of-Fame linebacker Ray Lewis has emerged as a candidate to become the next head coach at Florida Atlantic University, sources tell ESPN,” Schefter wrote on Twitter.
Deion Sanders opened the door for things like this after he was hired as the head coach at Jackson State. Soon, Tennessee State announced the arrival of Eddie George as its next head coach, and Ed Reed would be Bethune-Cookman’s head coach before things went awry.
