Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones revealed that he did speak with Deion Sanders in a phone call this offseason, but that the conversation wasn’t about the team’s

Unlike NFL teams that have to follow protocols to interview current NFL coaches, there is no such red tape to navigate when a franchise wants to chat with a college coach. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones could have Deion over to The Star, or a Starbucks, and that’s an interview.

Sanders reportedly express interest in both the Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys openings, per multiple reports. Sanders confirmed he spoke with Jones to ESPN. However, the Cowboys are already in the process of interviewing candidates, having completed meetings with Robert Salah and Kellen Moore for the position.

Deion Sanders has been linked to the Dallas Cowboys' head coaching vacancy, but just how real is the interest from Jerry Jones?

In 2023, Colorado coach Deion Sanders slammed the door on coaching in the NFL, saying “ I would never do that .” More recently, he said he’d only do the thing he said he’d never do if he’s coaching his sons. Now, there’s a chance he’ll be coaching in the NFL, without coaching one or both of his sons.

I’m not giving up my fight. You’re gonna ride by here again in another year or two if this thing don’t work out again, and my song will still be singing like a young Diana Ross: Deion! All the way.'' - Michael Irvin on the Cowboys not hiring coach Sanders.

Jerry Jones has always been known for getting too involved with the Dallas Cowboys, and now the team's owner has given head coach Brian Schottenheimer specific instructions on how to manage the club this year.
