As part of the search for the franchise's next head coach, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, in a move that immediately vaulted the team to the top of the sports news cycle, interviewed Pro Football Hall of Famer and current Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders for the vacancy.

On Friday the Cowboys hired offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, who has been with the team since 2022, giving him his first-ever head coaching position. Afterward, Irvin went to his YouTube channel to show his dismay over Sanders not receiving the job.

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.

Despite being a prominent figure in NFL history and a former Dallas Cowboys star, Deion Sanders was never a serious candidate for the team’s head coaching job

Sanders reportedly express interest in both the Las Vegas Raiders and Dallas Cowboys openings, per multiple reports. Sanders confirmed he spoke with Jones to ESPN. However, the Cowboys are already in the process of interviewing candidates, having completed meetings with Robert Salah and Kellen Moore for the position.

Deion Sanders has been heavily rumored to be the Dallas Cowboys’ next head coach, and his latest Instagram story will only intensify those rumors.

The move was an interesting one for Jerry Jones and the Cowboys, as big names like Deion Sanders were floated around before they decided to go with someone who was on the staff this past season. Two former Cowboys receivers didn't love the move.
