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.

Twenty years after he polished off his career as arguably the best cornerback of all time, Deion Sanders could be on the verge of returning to the NFL as a head coach. In the aftermath of Mike McCarthy 's departure from the Dallas Cowboys, the Colorado head coach has emerged as the betting favorite to replace him.

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.

Though it dominated the news cycle for quite some time after they split with Mike McCarthy, Deion Sanders was never actually a serious candidate for the Dallas 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 Cowboys are reportedly moving on from Mike McCarthy after five years as the team's head coach. Who could they hire to replace him?

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.

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 following their split with Mike McCarthy.
