\"Deion<\/p>\n

It took just hours between the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys<\/a>\u00a0announcing\u00a0Mike McCarthy was out as head coach<\/a>\u00a0for a big name to enter the fold:\u00a0Deion Sanders<\/a>. The Pro Football Hall of Famer and former\u00a0Cowboys<\/a>\u00a0star was named as\u00a0a potential target for the Cowboys<\/a>\u00a0in their search for a new head coach.<\/p>\n

Sanders is currently coach of the\u00a0Colorado Buffaloes<\/a>‘ football team, a position he’s held since 2023. Hours after reports of the Cowboys reaching out to him about the job, Sanders responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love [Cowboys owner Jerry Jones] and believe in Jerry,” Sanders told ESPN on Monday night during the\u00a0Vikings-Rams playoff game<\/a>, per\u00a0Adam Schefter<\/a>. “After you hang up, and process it, and think about it, it\u2019s intriguing. But I love Boulder and everything there is about our team, the coaches, our student body and the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sanders just finished his second season with the Buffaloes. Colorado cornerback\/wide receiver\u00a0Travis Hunter won the 2024 Heisman Trophy<\/a>\u00a0as the Buffaloes improved to 9-4 following a 4-8 finish in Sanders’ first season in Boulder.<\/p>\n

Sanders\u00a0previously said he would consider coaching in the NFL<\/a>\u00a0if he could coach his sons, Shedeur and Shilo. Shedeur is expected to go early in the\u00a0first round of the 2025 NFL draft<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Former Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant\u00a0voiced his support for Sanders<\/a>\u00a0to take the job on X. Former NFL quarterback and former ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III also said the\u00a0Cowboys should hire Sanders<\/a>\u00a0prior to these reports.<\/p>\n
