Another interesting wrinkle may be developing amid speculation linking Deion Sanders to the open Cowboys head coaching job. Sanders is still the head coach at the University of Colorado, but he has confirmed that he had spoken to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones in relation to the NFL coaching job.

Deion Sanders and Jason Witten are two of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones’ former — and favorite — players, and both have been floated as potential replacements for coach Mike McCarthy.

Deion Sanders once starred for the Cowboys as a cornerback. Could he be Dallas' next head coach after the team parted with Mike McCarthy?

According to FOX Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz during a conversation with 105.3 The Fan’s GBag Nation, the smoke around the Deion Sanders to the Cowboys is in fact very real.
