NFL Insider: Deion Sanders hasn’t drawn HC interest ‘as of right now’ amid Cowboys rumors | News, results, highlights, stats and rumours

Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders has yet to attract NFL head coaching interest “as of right now” in the middle speculation that he could land with the Dallas Cowboys, according to The Athletic’s Diana Russini:

“Coach Prime not landing on The Star. The 57-year-old University of Colorado coach and Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback has publicly said he wants to stay in college football, despite some theories that Jerry Jones is targeting against his former star. Holds an 11-10 record over two seasons with the Buffaloes, and right now I haven’t talked to a team decision interested in real shame; his sunglasses would be perfect for the blinding sun in Dallas.)

Sanders is in his second year as Colorado’s head coach. The Buffaloes went 1-11 the year before his arrival before improving to 4-8 last year. Now, Colorado entered Saturday with a 7-2 (5-1 Big 12) record and in control of its own destiny for a spot in the conference championship game.

Russini has previously reported on Scoop City podcast (5:20 p.m.) that speculation about Sanders going to the NFL is “all just bullshit” due to his desire to hang around the college ranks.

Sanders was once a star two-way Cowboys player and won a Super Bowl with the team in 1995. Current Fox Sports analyst Michael Irvin, his former teammate, recently gauged Sanders’ interest in leaving for the Cowboys, assuming the head coaching position opens up this off-season.

Sanders repeatedly said, “I love where I am,” before showing a picturesque view of Folsom Field and the Rocky Mountains in the background. He is also in the past said that he plans to coach in Colorado for at least 10 seasons.

Whether that happens is up for debate, but Sanders is clearly thriving in Colorado. It’s possible the Cowboys job opens up with the team 3-6 and Mike McCarthy in the final season of a five-year contract, but the signs don’t point to Sanders coming to Dallas.

Meanwhile, Sanders is trying to lead the Buffaloes to the Big 12 Championship Game. The team controls its own destiny to do so, and a win there would mean an automatic top-4 seed in the College Football Playoff.
