Deion Sanders dismisses chatter about leaving Colorado for Cowboys: ‘I love it here, I truly do’

With the Dallas Cowboys floundering amid Deion Sanders’ success at Colorado, Sanders was asked on Tuesday about chatter that he might leave the Buffalos for another job.

Sanders initially dismissed the question at his news conference, citing Colorado athletic director Rick George’s presence in the room. He eventually gathered his thoughts and provided an answer.

Coach Prime on his name being brought up for other coaching jobs:

“I’m happy where I am,” Sanders said. “I’m good. I’ve got a kickstand down. You know what a kickstand is? A lot of people in here not of age, don’t now what a kickstand is.

“That means I’m resting. I’m good. I’m happy. I’m excited. I’m enthusiastic about where I am. I love it here, I truly do.”

So Sanders isn’t interested in the Cowboys or anywhere else. Or so he says with two games remaining in a regular season that could end with a berth in the College Football Playoff. Why would Sanders kill those vibes by acknowledging that he’s considering employment elsewhere? If, indeed, he actually is.

Sanders wasn’t asked directly about the Cowboys on Tuesday. But a day after the Cowboys’ blowout loss to the Texans to drop them to 0-5 at home, the implication was clear.

Mike McCarthy’s job is in serious jeopardy, so much that Jones addressed Monday night why he traditionally doesn’t making coaching changes during the season. Jones didn’t provide a direct answer about McCarthy’s job security, but a coaching change in Dallas in the offseason wouldn’t surprise anybody who’s been paying attention.
