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.

Jones said after introducing Brian Schottenheimer as the Cowboys' head coach that he only talked with Sanders.

Though it dominated the news cycle for quite some time after they split with Mike McCarthy, Deion Sanders was never actually a serious candidate for the Dallas Cowboys job.
