"Jerry Jones would give Deion Sanders a blank check”: NFL fans willing to bet money on Cowboys owner convincing Colorado HC to join Dallas

Deion Sanders has had just two games as the Colorado head coach, but he has made such a great impression that nobody can take their eyes off what the Buffaloes are doing. After a 1-11 record in 2022, they've rebounded nicely, with Sanders' first act being a huge upset victory over College Football Playoff runners-up TCU.

Following an amazing start to his tenure with one of the worst teams in college football just a year ago, the whispers about Sanders perhaps joining an NFL team started to spread among fans. The Colorado leader has said that he doesn't wish to move to the pros because he doesn't think he could motivate players the same way, but NFL fans haven't really bought into this.

With the amount of money available in the NFL, fans think that a powerful and rich owner such as Jerry Jones could throw a lot of money at Deion Sanders and change his mind:

[PFT] Deion Sanders tells @RichEisen he has no interest in coaching in the NFL, because he doesn't believe he can motivate highly-paid pro players. byu/Kimber80 innfl

Could Deion Sanders replace Mike McCarthy at the Dallas Cowboys?

After a scintillating victory over Colorado State, Jerry Jones praised Deion Sanders as a "hell of a coach." When asked about the possibility of Sanders coaching in the NFL, the Cowboys GM told Jon Machota of The Athletic:

“He influences people. And of course that’s part of it in the NFL. But I don’t want to go there because you know where that starts going, every which way.”

If Sanders does decide someday that he wants to go to the NFL, though, the Dallas Cowboys are probably the best fit. He would work closely with Jerry Jones, who's an ultra-confident owner.

Deion Sanders' Colorado stint is just beginning, though, and you can bet he wants this thing to go as far as it can. When you're the underdog, you're always hungry.
