One name that quickly gained traction was that of Deion Sanders, the legendary former Cowboy player. With ties to the franchise and a growing reputation as a successful coach, Sanders seemed like a natural candidate.

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.

Deion Sanders is rumored to be in talks for the Cowboys coaching job, leaving everyone wondering if he’ll leave Colorado for the NFL.
