Deion Sanders: It’s interesting to hear from Jerry Jones, but I love everything about Boulder

Word came Monday that Mike McCarthy He won’t come back as head coach of the Cowboys in 2025 and that was followed by first word on a potential replacement.

Reports said Monday night that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spoke with former Cowboys linebacker and current University of Colorado coach Deion Sanders. About returning To Dallas. Sanders said in November that his “backstop” is in Boulder and he is “excited” to be at the school, and he said earlier this month that the opportunity to coach his sons Shador and Shilo would be “the only way” he would consider. Moving on to the NFL.

The Cowboys are unlikely to end up with Shador, who is considered one of the top quarterback prospects in this year’s class, but Sanders was less specific in his first comment about talking to Jones.

“To listen to Jerry Jones It’s really exhilarating“It’s interesting,” Sanders told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. “I love Jerry and I believe in Jerry. After you put it down and process it and think about it, it gets interesting. But I love Boulder and everything about our team, the coaches, the student body and the community.”

In addition to the difficulties involved in coaching his sons, Sanders also earned $8 million from his contract with Colorado. That could push the Cowboys’ search in a different direction no matter how exciting a matchup with Sanders may be on paper.
