It was a long shot to begin with.
On Saturday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport provided an update on the Cowboys’ coaching search and it doesn’t look like Coach Prime will be making his way to Dallas anytime soon.
Rapoport said the two sides do not have a formal interview scheduled yet, and he would be surprised if an interview ever happens. The NFL insider also added that Sanders is still in contract negotiations with Colorado “to potentially get a big-time extension.”
Based on Rapoport’s latest update, Cowboys fans should not get their hopes up for Sanders to become the next head coach.
