From Colorado To The Cowboys? Could Deion Sanders Be The Next Dallas Head Coach?

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has parted ways with head coach Mike McCarthy. Now, Jones has reached out to former Cowboys Super Bowl champion cornerback and current Colorado Buffalos head football coach Deion Sanders about Dallas’ head-coaching vacancy, per CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones. A formal interview hasn’t yet been scheduled with Sanders, but Jones and Sanders will stay in touch about the opening, according to Jones. “To hear from Jerry Jones is truly delightful, and it’s intriguing,” Sanders told ESPN Monday night. “I love Jerry and believe in Jerry. After you hang up, and process it, and think about it, it’s intriguing. But I love Boulder and everything there is about our team, the coaches, our student body and the community.”  Sanders was on Dallas’ last Super Bowl championship team in 1995 and earned both Pro Bowl and All-Pro accolades in four of his five years with the Cowboys. Mike Zimmer, Dallas’ defensive coordinator for the 2024 season, was Sanders’ defensive backs coach in all five of those seasons (1995-1999), and he remains a close friend of Sanders to this day. Back in November, Zimmer didn’t think Sanders was looking to leave Colorado.
