Colorado football coach DEION SANDERS said on Friday that he allowed himself to dream a little after receiving a call last month Dallas Cowboys The owner Jerry Jones.
Jones was looking for a new coach at the time.
What is the depth of the conversation?
Sanders talked about it “The Rich Eisen Show” On Friday when he was doing a series of interviews in New Orleans, the Super Bowl site on Sunday. We do not know how seriously Jones considered Sanders for the work of cowboys. Sanders, 57, did not obtain an official interview before The cowboys hired Brian Schottenheimer. But Sanders also said about the “Dan Patrick Show” Friday that “I don’t have to interview” for a job like that because it is already a known goods.
“It was great,” Sanders told Eisen about his conversation with Jones. “It made me think.”
Sanders said he was even thinking about how he would get to work every day. He has a ranch outside the Metropolitan region of Dallas in eastern Texas.
“When he calls, and we had our little discussion and our conversation, you hang up and you start to think:” Hey, Wow, it’s something “, told Eisen. “You weigh everything, then go out there, you know. You are well there, like, let me see, now, if I did that, I would probably have a helicopter to fly at work every day. … I am serious. I am like, I can stay in my own house and fly a helicopter every day, land just on the field right next to Jerry. And that could work. I mean, you start to think crazy things.
How long did these thoughts last?
Eisen asked him.
“I had a lot of prayer to do, pray and weigh,” said Sanders.
In the interview with Patrick, Sanders was invited to what he would do if Jones had asked him to interview the post.
“I wouldn’t have to interview,” said Sanders. “My interview is underway (on television and in the media). Why should I interview? Like, can you train or you can’t? You can look at that. You can see it. I am damn good in what I do. I don’t have to interview.
Did Deion Sanders want to be invited to train cowboys?
Patrick also asked this question.
“I love the university football match,” said Sanders. “I am built for the university football match at this stage of my life. And I do nothing at this next level without my sons.
In his own interview with Sanders, Eisen noted that he “would take something very important” to attract Sanders far from Colorado, where he is Entering his third season at work after finishing 9-4 last year.
“Very significant,” said Sanders.
Have discussions with Jones become “fairly high”? Asked Eisen.
“It never happened to this point,” said Sanders. “No, it was just a process of reflection.”
