Deion Sanders dismissed rumors linking him to the Cowboys' head coaching job, but ESPN's Peter Burns didn't hold back, calling his decision "foolish."

The Deion Sanders-NFL rumors are at an all-time peak after Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reportedly spoke to Sanders about the team’s head coaching vacancy this week. Sanders released a statement about their conversation on Monday night in which he called the Cowboys’ job “intriguing,” but declined to say much more than that.

One name that quickly gained traction was that of Deion Sanders, the legendary former Cowboy player. With ties to the franchise and a growing reputation as a successful coach, Sanders seemed like a natural candidate.
