The Dallas Cowboys’ season continues to spiral after a 34-6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, marking their fourth consecutive defeat and leaving them at 3-6. Amid mounting struggles and uncertainty, head coach Mike McCarthy finds himself in the hot seat, especially with his contract ending this year.
Rumors of potential coaching candidates for Dallas have surfaced, and among them is former Cowboys cornerback and Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, currently making waves as head coach at the University of Colorado. On Fox Sports 1’s Speak, Cowboys legend Michael Irvin asked Sanders if he would consider coaching his former team. Sanders responded with poise, affirming that he is “happy where he’s at right now” and focused on his work with Colorado.

Sanders, who joined Dallas in 1995 and was instrumental in their last Super Bowl win that same year, has become a standout coach in the NCAA. He joined Colorado last season and has led the Buffaloes to an impressive 7-2 start, highlighting his transformative impact on the program. His success has not gone unnoticed by NFL observers, especially those nostalgic for his dynamic presence in Dallas.
While Sanders is dedicated to his current team, the Cowboys’ issues go beyond coaching. Dallas has lost significant talent in free agency and is struggling on both sides of the ball. Defensively, the Cowboys have failed to control the run, while their own ground game lacks the consistency to balance the offense. Despite standout performances from CeeDee Lamb, Dallas still lacks a reliable No. 2 wide receiver, and questions linger around quarterback Dak Prescott’s effectiveness in high-stakes moments, especially as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
For now, Sanders remains focused on his work with Colorado, brushing aside any NFL coaching buzz.
