Deion Sanders addresses NFL coaching rumors amid Cowboys speculation
Struggling NFL teams looking to poach their next head coach from the college football circuit can countΒ Coloradoβs Deion Sanders out after the Buffaloes head coach addressed the recent speculation linking him to one of his former teams at a press conference on Tuesday.Β
Only two NFL teams have called it quits with their respective head coaches this season, butΒ Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy has found himself in the hot seat following their fifth-straight loss to the Houston Texans on Monday night.Β
Sanders' name has recently been floated β Cowboys great Michael Irvin was the latest to suggest the move on X, but Sanders shut down those rumors this week.Β

"Iβm happy where I am, man. Iβm good," he told reporters during his weekly press conference ahead of Coloradoβs game against Kansas on Saturday.Β Β
"Iβve got a kickstand down. You know what a kickstand is? A lot of people in here are not of age, they donβt know what a kickstand is. It means Iβm resting, Iβm good, Iβm happy, Iβm excited, Iβm enthusiastic about where I am. I love it here. I truly do. Next question."Β Β
MICHAEL IRVIN POSTS CRYPTIC MESSAGE ABOUT DEION SANDERS, COWBOYS
Despite their struggles, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones essentially ruled out firing McCarthy midseason when he spoke to reporters on Monday.Β
"I've made a change early and on a coach with Chan Gailey [when he went 18-14 in 1998 and 1999 combined], and I've always regretted that. I've made a change during the season (with Wade Phillips in 2010), and I've regretted that," Jones said,Β via CBS Sports. "That's the music I'm listening to."Β
Mondayβs loss marked Dallas' longest losing streak since a seven-game slide in 2015. They are 0-5 at home for the first time since 1989, and they become the first team inΒ NFL history to trail by at least 20 points in six straight home games.Β
McCarthy might be safe until the end of the season, but if the Cowboys canβt turn it around, his future in Dallas could be in trouble.
