One name that quickly gained traction was that of Deion Sanders, the legendary former Cowboy player. With ties to the franchise and a growing reputation as a successful coach, Sanders seemed like a natural candidate.

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.
