Would be surprised if he left Dallas area to move back to FL.
He, Irvin and Emmit seem to love Dallas A LOT.

They sure do, don’t they?

If he goes it will end badly. Great player, not a great coach. IMG hasn’t been good to us anyway.

LOL, all the prima-donnas will be steered towards F$U and none will know how to hit, tackle or have a clue about fundamentals or techniques. Nice.

You're over exaggerating. Deon was a technician at DB. However, I don't think he'll have much of an impact on other kids at IMG in sending kids to FSU. I can't see him being there more than a year or two. Most of the kids at IMG come from all over the nation. Most have no ties to the region and I don't believe HS coaches have much influence on high profile players. Lastly, just like Miami, FSU needs to win to re-establish recruiting at a high level.
 
Deion was a wannabe Cane, so his son (if any good) will be a Cane to make up for dad's mistake :cool:

Deion recently tried to steer HS kids to F$U as coach of one of the all-star games. I have no doubt he’ll likely try to do the same at IMG. Agreed that his tenure there will be short. I also recall his disdain for “tackling” and other unsavory tasks as a player. I do agree that both schools have to win to get back to high level recruiting. We have a surprisingly high class based on our results this season. We can’t expect that to continue unless we start winning games we shouldn’t lose.

Good Wikipedia article on the history of Bollettieri/IMG....

Founded in 1978 by Bollettieri then purchased in 1987 by IMG. Football added in 2010....

My brother was 12 or 14 (early to mid 80s) and playing age group tennis when he was living there.... It was okay when I used to visit back then.... Am sure it's much more grandiose now...

The problem with the place is if you are an average athlete they couldn’t care less about you

Yeah, true....At the time, my little brother was a world ranked 14 and under tennis player....Being away from home at a young age is a major imposition on kids and their families....I imagine that if you aren't an elite athlete in your chosen sport, be it tennis, football or any other sport, with a realistic chance of getting a free college education and possibly turning pro.....The time, energy and psychic commitment would be too much.....That seemed to be the first weeding out process....

He's the current OC at Trinity Christian in Cedar Hill Texas.

His son is 2021 QB Shedeur Sanders who's a really good QB & has lead them to 3 straight State titles.

Shedeur was transferring to IMG this year anyway so Deion is of course going to be coaching him.

@7:20 Dan Patrick asks Deion about coaching in college & what happened with FSU.

@8:39 Dan asks Deion about coaching at The U; Deion also adds that his son will be visiting us this Saturday.
