Deion Sanders Finally Speaks Out on Cowboys Head Coaching Rumors

With the Dallas Cowboys dropping their third-straight game to the Philadelphia Eagles last week and seemingly falling out of the playoff race, there’s some discussion about who will be Dallas’ next head coach.

Mike McCarthy entered this season as a lame-duck head coach. And with how things have gone through 10 weeks, he might be gone after this season. Many fans believe former New England head coach Bill Belichick would be the perfect replacement for McCarthy in the offseason.

However, former NFL coach Rex Ryan mentioned Colorado head coach Deion Sanders as a potential candidate on ESPN’s Get Up, which picked up a lot of attention on social media.

The former Cowboys and Hall of Fame cornerback has taken the college football world by storm with his success at Jackson State (FCS) and what he’s done in his second season at Colorado.

On Tuesday, Sanders was on FS1’s Speak and asked by Cowboys legend Michael Irvin about coaching Dallas. Irvin gave Sanders his props, mentioning how he’s encouraging people and what he's done at the program.

And somehow, some way, the former Cowboys wide receiver found a way to mix in Dallas. 

The Colorado head coach did not want any part of entertaining that idea as he repeatedly said, “Oh Lord, don’t start that, I love it where I am.”

After saying that, Sanders got out of his chair to show off the backdrop from his office, which showcases the stadium and mountains. He said while walking, “Let me take the computer in here because you’re starting to talk that talk,” he said, laughing. “I love it where I am!”

If you are a Cowboys fan, you can’t blame Irvin for trying to gauge Sanders’ interest in coaching in Dallas. However, the Hall of Fame defensive back said last summer on record that he has no desire or ambition to coach in the NFL.
