Deion Sanders’ name has frequently been brought up in coaching rumors, particularly in connection to high-profile openings like the Dallas Cowboys. With the Cowboys’ coaching future often under the microscope, especially when postseason results fall short of expectations, speculation about possible candidates becomes a hot topic. Sanders, currently the head coach of the University of Colorado, has made waves in college football, revitalizing the Colorado program and proving his leadership and charisma translate well to coaching.
However, the idea of Sanders moving to the NFL, especially to a team like the Cowboys, is mostly speculative at this stage. While his connection to Dallas is undeniable—he won a Super Bowl with the Cowboys as a player and remains a beloved figure in the area—there’s no concrete evidence suggesting he’s a frontrunner or even interested in leaving the college ranks just yet. Sanders has stated his commitment to building the Colorado program, but his success and persona make him a natural candidate for future NFL roles.
As for other possible candidates for a Dallas coaching vacancy, the usual big-name NFL assistants and former head coaches are likely to surface in rumors. Names like Dan Quinn (currently the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator), Kellen Moore (former Cowboys OC, now with the Chargers), or even experienced coaches like Sean Payton were previously linked to Dallas openings. Payton, of course, is now with the Denver Broncos, so he’s out of the picture, but other experienced coaches could be in the mix.
The Cowboys Coaching Rumors Tracker, as mentioned, would likely keep fans updated on developments as they arise, especially if the Cowboys decide to part ways with Mike McCarthy down the road.
