While the former make a lot of sense considering he and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones are close friends, Sanders also makes a lot of sense on paper.<\/p>\n<p>However, he\u2019s made it clear going to the\u00a0NFL\u00a0doesn\u2019t interest him, and the powers that be in the team\u2019s front office don\u2019t seem to have any interest in trying to entice him back to Dallas, according to The Athletic\u2019s Dianna Russini.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCoach Prime isn\u2019t landing at The Star,\u201d\u00a0Russini wrote. \u201cThe 57-year-old University of Colorado coach and Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback has said publicly he wants to stay in\u00a0college football, despite some theories that Jerry Jones is targeting his former star.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSanders holds an 11-10 record over two seasons with the Buffaloes, and as of now, I have not spoken to a team decision-maker interested in bringing Sanders in as an NFL head coach. (A real shame; his sunglasses would be perfect for that glaring sun in Dallas.)\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"l-inline tml-image m-detail--tml-image--inline\"><a><picture class=\"is-loaded\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MjEwNzUyOTcyODE1MDgzNDk3\/usatsi_19963380.webp 380w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MjEwNzUyOTcyODE1MDgzNDk3\/usatsi_19963380.webp 620w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjEwNzUyOTcyODE1MDgzNDk3\/usatsi_19963380.webp 700w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MjEwNzUyOTcyODE1MDgzNDk3\/usatsi_19963380.jpg 380w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MjEwNzUyOTcyODE1MDgzNDk3\/usatsi_19963380.jpg 620w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjEwNzUyOTcyODE1MDgzNDk3\/usatsi_19963380.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"m-detail--tml-image m-image\" src=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjEwNzUyOTcyODE1MDgzNDk3\/usatsi_19963380.jpg\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Jerry Jones and Deion Sanders\" width=\"4435\" height=\"2834\" data-src=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjEwNzUyOTcyODE1MDgzNDk3\/usatsi_19963380.jpg\" \/><\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--tml-image-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"m-detail--tml-image-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<p class=\"tml-image--caption\">Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Deion Sanders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tml-image--attribution\">Joe Rondone\/The Republic \/ USA TODAY NETWORK<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\" data-zone-count=\"3\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-loaded\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-33f59e9363034a868b94b11f1f3e2f59\" data-google-query-id=\"CNeAlemO44kDFW0yewcdMMsG3g\" data-ad-size=\"300x250\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nfl\/dallas-cowboys_7__container__\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007\/athlonsports.com\/nfl\/dallas-cowboys_7\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" src=\"https:\/\/e6acd847cd99a3bbcc14a0ec9250a498.safeframe.googlesyndication.com\/safeframe\/1-0-40\/html\/container.html\" name=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" data-is-safeframe=\"true\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-google-container-id=\"8\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Sanders\u2019 star is on the rise with the program revival he\u2019s leading at Colorado.
