The Dallas Cowboys have interest in hiring Deion Sanders as their next head coach. Sanders all but confirmed as much when he told ESPN about his conversation with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, calling the opportunity “intriguing.”

Sanders spent five standout seasons with the Cowboys from 1995 to 1999, leaving an indelible mark on the franchise during one of its most celebrated eras. A key figure in the Cowboys’ Super Bowl XXX triumph, Sanders’ electrifying play as both a cornerback and return specialist solidified his status as one of the NFL’s all-time greats.

The Dallas Cowboys hiring Deion Sanders as their next head coach no longer seems inconceivable. On Thursday, Ed Werder of WFAA-TV in Dallas tweeted that the Colorado Buffaloes head coach's inner circle is pushing him to take the job.
