Despite being a prominent figure in NFL history and a former Dallas Cowboys star, Deion Sanders was never a serious candidate for the team’s head coaching job

Sanders reportedly express interest in both the Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys openings, per multiple reports. Sanders confirmed he spoke with Jones to ESPN. However, the Cowboys are already in the process of interviewing candidates, having completed meetings with Robert Salah and Kellen Moore for the position.

On Friday the Cowboys hired offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, who has been with the team since 2022, giving him his first-ever head coaching position. Afterward, Irvin went to his YouTube channel to show his dismay over Sanders not receiving the job.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones revealed that he did speak with Deion Sanders in a phone call this offseason, but that the conversation wasn’t about the team’s

The Buffaloes coach has interest from Dallas, and could use it to extract concessions from his athletic director.

Unlike NFL teams that have to follow protocols to interview current NFL coaches, there is no such red tape to navigate when a franchise wants to chat with a college coach. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones could have Deion over to The Star, or a Starbucks, and that’s an interview.

For the Dallas Cowboys, it’s Brian Schottenheimer time. Could it have been Prime Time instead? Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed Monday that, yes, he and Pro Football Hall of Famer/Colorado head coach Deion Sanders spoke before the team eventually hired Schottenheimer as the 10th head coach in franchise history.

Deion Sanders faced resistance to his latest request at Colorado, fueling speculation that he might seriously consider making the jump to the NFL to coach the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys parted ways with Mike McCarthy after five seasons this week, and Sanders has discussed the opening with Jerry Jones.
