Sanders, the former Cowboy and current Colorado Buffaloes head coach, has been adamant about his plan to stay in Boulder and at the collegiate level. He reinforced that plan Monday night through a statement via ESPN's Adam Schefter, although Sanders admitted he was humbled by Jerry Jones's interest.

Unlike NFL teams that have to follow protocols to interview current NFL coaches, there is no such red tape to navigate when a franchise wants to chat with a college coach. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones could have Deion over to The Star, or a Starbucks, and that’s an interview.

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Drew Pearson is keen on the idea of Deion Sanders becoming the 10th head coach in Cowboys histor y. Pearson, who is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Cowboys Ring of Honor, joined SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio on Thursday to discuss Dallas' head coaching vacancy.
