Jerry Jones is zeroing in on another candidate.
Colorado fans can now breathe a collective sigh of relief.
After multiple weeks of flirting between Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, it looks as though Coach Prime will not be the next head coach of America’s Team.
According to reports, Jones is now expected to hire Brian Schottenheimer, the current Cowboys offensive coordinator and son of legendary NFL head coach Marty Schottenheimer, as the team’s next head coach. The deal is reportedly expected to be finalized as soon as Thursday evening.
Why should this matter to you as a Colorado fan? First and foremost, that means the flirting between Jones and Sanders should come to an end.
Reports came out in early January that Jones’ ideal candidate for the head coaching job of the Cowboys was Sanders, and Sanders didn’t shy away from the rumors.
“To hear from Jerry [Jones] is delightful and intriguing,” Sanders told NFL reporter Adam Schefter in a statement. “I love Jerry and believe in Jerry. After you hang up, and process it, and think about it, it’s intriguing.”
Sanders ended the statement by reiterating his support for Boulder, saying he loves where he is at with the Buffaloes.
“But I love Boulder and everything there is about our team, the coaches, our student body and the community,” Sanders told Schefter.
With Jones and the Cowboys looking elsewhere, it seems extremely unlikely that Sanders will head to the NFL for the 2025-26 season. Anything is possible, but it looks like Coach Prime is here to stay in Boulder.
