FSU search goes full Tennessee: The best responses following report linking Deion Sanders to job opening in Tallahassee
If you missed the news that was first shared late Thursday night, Florida State is apparently considering Deion Sanders to be its next head coach.
No, this is not a joe.
Needless to say, the FSU coaching search is getting weird.
According to Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Media, Sanders “has emerged as a candidate for the Florida State head coaching job” less than a week after the program parted ways with Willie Taggart.
Following that stunning news, we rounded up some of the better reactions online:

Here’s the only argument that could be made to hire Deion:
"College football coaches in 2019 are mainly CEO's. Three things matter most – invigorating the program, recruiting, and hiring the right staff. Who would do that better than @DeionSanders?" — @PSchrags pic.twitter.com/qCZqiogliJ
