On Friday the Cowboys hired offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, who has been with the team since 2022, giving him his first-ever head coaching position. Afterward, Irvin went to his YouTube channel to show his dismay over Sanders not receiving the job.

After the Cowboys parted ways with former head coach Mike McCarthy, Sanders was a name that was linked to the role, but he was never formally interviewed. Schottenheimer, who along with Robert Saleh and Kellen Moore, was the only other name on the short list of candidates and he was offered an interview.

The speculation surrounding Deion Sanders and a potential jump to the NFL has hit a standstill. With reports saying Brian Schottenheimer will be hired as the Cowboys' next head coach, the idea of Sanders stepping into the NFL remains a popular talking point.

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.

If the Dallas Cowboys hire Deion Sanders as the next head coach, chalk Coach Prime's son Shedeur up as someone who would support the move.

Deion Sanders has been heavily rumored to be the Dallas Cowboys’ next head coach, and his latest Instagram story will only intensify those rumors.

As Dallas Cowboys fans nervously wait for more updates in the head coaching search, they're largely hoping that someone - specifically Colorado head coach and Cowboys alum Deion Sanders - winds up with the job rather than offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.
