Shortly after it was announced that Dallas was parting ways with Mike McCarthy, reports emerged that Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones had spoken to Sanders about that job. It was also reported that there was mutual interest from both parties.

Jerry Jones says he decided to hire Brian Schottenheimer as Dallas’ coach and sign quarterback Dak Prescott to a $240 million, four-year contract because the Cowboys are in a win-now mode and should be competing for Super Bowls.

Rumors that Deion Sanders had a path to become the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys turned out to be nothing more than just talk, but Sanders and Jerry Jones' conversation at the NFL Honors has speculation rising again.
