Deion Sanders’ first comments on Cowboys speculation with Mike McCarthy on hot seat

Deion Sanders jumped out of his seat when asked about the possibility of coaching the Cowboys.

During an appearance on FS1's “Speak” on Tuesday, the Colorado Buffaloes coach said he wanted to bring his talent to Dallas after NFL analyst and former Cowboys wideout Michael Irvin confronted him about it. I couldn't help but laugh about going.

“You’re pushing people to be better than they are. [in Colorado] Can I keep doing that, because there's no place other than Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys that needs someone to encourage people to be better than they are. ” irvin said.

“Oh, Lord, don't start that,” Sanders repeatedly responded. “I love where I am.”

Mr. Sanders, interviewed in his Boulder office, then stood up and walked to a window overlooking Folsom Field.

“Let me get my computer over here so we can start talking about that,” he said with a laugh. “I love where I am!”

The Hall of Fame defensive back, who played for the Cowboys from 1995 to 1999, then pointed the camera at Boulder's field and mountain views.

Sanders has been instrumental in transforming the Buffaloes' football program since taking over at the beginning of the 2023 college football season.

The Buffaloes currently sit in second place in the Big 12 with a 7-2 record.

“That's above my pay grade, whether Mike's going to be coaching next year or not,” Parsons said. “Aside from what the coach says, Mike can leave here and go anywhere.'' The guy who I think is kind of bad is the guy who [guard] I wanted to have a trophy for Zach Martin and the guys who are probably retiring in their final year.

“You want to win games and do great against these legends who have put in more time and effort than Mike McCarthy. So those are the guys that I feel so sorry for and hurt so much.”

Parsons later clarified his comments, explaining that he did not intend to criticize McCarthy.
