Jerry Jones' unwillingness to break the bank for a head coach could be a major obstacle for the Dallas Cowboys if they want to pursue Deion Sanders.

Jerry Jones and the Cowboys were blindsided by Mike McCarthy's decision to leave the head coach position, per a report.

Sanders — who played on the last Super Bowl-winning Cowboys team — has a good relationship with Jerry Jones and could emerge as a coaching candidate.

Armed with a strong roster led by top talent at quarterback ( Dak Prescott ), wide receiver ( CeeDee Lamb ), edge rusher ( Micah Parsons) and cornerback ( DaRon Bland ), Dallas should be able to attract a top coaching candidate. But things are never simple with the Cowboys, because Jerry Jones doesn't operate the way other owners operate.

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.

Fallout from Mike McCarthy’s departure; what Jerry Jones said about it. Deion Sanders, Kellen Moore, Jason Witten as rumored candidates.

Dallas made waves by reaching out to former Cowboy and current Colorado coach Deion Sanders. Here's what Champ Bailey had to say about the idea.

After news broke regarding conversations between Deion Sanders and Jerry Jones discussing the HC job, Shedeur Sanders shared his thoughts.

Glenn is a really darn good football coach, and Dallas would be smart to hire one of the best defensive minds in the NFL to lead the franchise. Perhaps Glenn could bring one of the offensive coaches with him from Detroit to lead the Cowboys’ offense? This pairing makes a lot of sense.

The first name that drew widespread attention after McCarthy's departure was Deion Sanders. But three others are getting interviews.

However, the most notable swirling in connection to the Cowboys' coaching job is Deion Sanders, who adopted the famous "Prime Time" moniker during his Hall of Fame playing career.
