Sanders, the former Cowboy and current Colorado Buffaloes head coach, has been adamant about his plan to stay in Boulder and at the collegiate level. He reinforced that plan Monday night through a statement via ESPN's Adam Schefter, although Sanders admitted he was humbled by Jerry Jones's interest.

Add Steve Mariucci to the chorus of sports media figures trying to will the Deion Sanders-Dallas Cowboys marriage into existence. On NFL Network’s NFL GameDay Saturday, talk turned to the Cowboys’ search for a new head coach.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones recently called Sanders to affirm the seriousness of their intention. Sanders described their conversation as "delightful" and "intriguing," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
