Sanders confirmed that he spoke with Jones last week after reports surfaced connecting him to the Cowboys job.

With Jones now spearheading the search for the Cowboys’ next head coach after Mike McCarthy’s departure, buzz continues to build around franchise great and Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders, who “would almost certainly accept” the top job in Dallas if offered by the 82-year-old owner, according to a new report.

The Dallas Cowboys have been linked to Colorado football coach Deion Sanders, but would Coach Prime be able to thrive under Jerry Jones?

As the Dallas Cowboys begin their search for a new head coach, team owner and general manager Jerry Jones has discussed the role with Colorado coach Deion Sanders, a league source said. While no interview has been scheduled, there is mutual interest in keeping the dialogue about the vacancy open, according to the source.

Colorado head coach Deion Sanders recently confirmed that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reached out amid a coaching vacancy.

Jerry Jones loves to make headlines, and there is no bigger way to take the NFL world by storm than by handing the keys to America's Team to Deion Sanders.

The Cowboys have opened up their head coaching position. Now Deion Sanders is the first name to emerge as a possibility.
