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.

Unlike NFL teams that have to follow protocols to interview current NFL coaches, there is no such red tape to navigate when a franchise wants to chat with a college coach. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones could have Deion over to The Star, or a Starbucks, and that’s an interview.

Colorado coach Deion Sanders has won at every one of his stops, most recently taking the Buffaloes from 1-11 to their first nine-win season since 2016 in two years on the job. With all his success, it makes sense that NFL teams will take an interest in his services.
