In typical Jerry Jones fashion, the Dallas Cowboys made headlines across the NFL world on Monday night after news broke that the team had contacted Colorado football coach Deion Sanders.

There was reportedly mutual interest between the two and Coach Prime is considered a “leading candidate,” but would he really consider leaving Boulder for Big D?

Coach Prime has since released a statement to ESPN discussing the reports and confirming that he has spoken with the Cowboys’ owner.

However, he doesn’t sound like a man who is ready to leave his current job.

“Hearing about Jerry Jones is really delightful and fascinating,” Sanders said, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. “I love Jerry and believe in Jerry. When you put it on, process it and think about it, it’s fascinating.

“But I love Boulder and everything it has to do with our team, the coaches, our student body and the community.”

It sounds like Coach Prime is ready to get to work with the Buffs and finish what he started.

As a player, “Neon Deion” was a two-time Super Bowl champion, NFL Defensive Player of the Year and eight-time All-Pro. As a coach, he is a two-time SWAC champion and won at every level, compiling a 40-18 record.

With Jerry Jones at the helm, anything is possible, but considering Coach Prime’s statement and an $8 million buyout, Cowboys fans probably shouldn’t hold their breath.
