It seemed like a pipe dream that Deion Sanders could possibly become the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, but something seemed to seep Monday night.

Sanders and Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones have talked about the possibility of Coach Prime making the jump from the collegiate ranks to the NFL, FOX Sports reported, citing multiple sources. Talks were reportedly expected to continue as Dallas begins its search for a new head coach.

NFL Network reported that Sanders has “some interest” in the Cowboys job, and Dallas also has “some interest” in possibly bringing him in.

“Hearing from Jerry Jones is really nice and it’s exciting,” Sanders later told ESPN. “I love Jerry and believe in Jerry. When you hang up the phone and process it and think about it, it’s exciting. But I love Boulder and everything about our team, the coaches, our student body and the community.”

Sanders had long been resistant to talk about leaving the Colorado Buffaloes for the NFL. However, he recently issued an ultimatum about whether he would take an NFL job — if he had a chance to coach his sons.

It may be difficult for the Cowboys to select quarterback Shedeur Sanders in the first round. Sanders is expected to be one of the first players taken off the board. Dallas has the no. 12 in the draft and must take a big step to move up the board. The Cowboys could potentially take Shilo Sanders later in the draft.

Deion Sanders played for the Cowboys from 1995 to 1999. He was part of the organization’s last Super Bowl run – in 1995. He was a Pro Bowler in four of those five seasons.

The Cowboys parted ways with Mike McCarthy earlier Monday after five seasons.

“Throughout Mike McCarthy’s tenure here, including the last few weeks, I have been very complimentary of the work he has done,” Jones said in a statement. “That has been true of our record over that period, our team unity and culture, Mike’s qualifications and track record of success, and on a personal level as a tremendous human being.

“I have great respect for Mike and he has led the team through some very unique and challenging times during his tenure.”
