Colorado head coach Deion Sanders recently spoke with ESPN’s Adam Schefter, shedding light on an intriguing phone call he had with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. The conversation revolved around the Cowboys’ head coaching position, sparking speculation about Sanders’ potential return to the NFL—but this time as a coach.
Sanders, who played for the Cowboys during his Hall of Fame career, admitted the opportunity was tempting. “After you hang up, and process it, and think about it, it’s intriguing,” Sanders said. However, he made it clear that his heart remains with the University of Colorado and the Buffaloes. “I love Boulder and everything there is about our team,” he emphasized.
Since taking over as Colorado’s head coach, Sanders has revitalized the program, bringing a winning mentality and national attention to Boulder. His charisma and leadership have drawn comparisons to his playing days, when “Prime Time” was synonymous with excellence and showmanship.
While the Cowboys’ opening presents an alluring prospect, Sanders appears firmly committed to his college team. For now, fans in Boulder can rest easy knowing their coach’s focus remains on building a championship culture at Colorado. Whether or not Sanders ever ventures into NFL coaching remains to be seen, but his impact at Colorado is already undeniable.
