As owner and general manager extraordinaire Jerry Jones looks to land his next splash hire, Colorado coach Deion Sanders has emerged as an intriguing candidate in a potential jump to the NFL coaching ranks. According to multiple reports, Jones and Sanders have already spoken about the opening.

Deion Sanders has been at the University of Colorado for two full seasons now, and during his time there he's made it pretty clear that he's not looking to leave Boulder to take an NFL job. However, Sanders did reveal this week that there is one specific situation that would likely get him to make the jump to the NFL.

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.
