Deion Sanders Affirms College Coaching Focus Despite Dallas Cowboys Interest

The Colorado head coach and NFL Hall of Famer reiterated his disinterest in coaching in the NFL, citing practice styles and a stronger impact on young players as key reasons.

Deion Sanders revealed he had conversations with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones about their head coaching vacancy but did not formally interview for the role.
Sanders stated he could not coach in the NFL due to modern practice styles, which he feels lack the intensity and rigor of his playing days.
The Cowboys ultimately promoted offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to head coach, bypassing Sanders despite some speculation about his candidacy.
Sanders emphasized his commitment to college coaching, where he believes he can have a greater influence on young athletes and their communities.
Although Sanders has expressed no current interest in NFL coaching, he has previously hinted he might consider it in the future if it allowed him to coach his sons, who are entering the NFL Draft.
