Jones said after introducing Brian Schottenheimer as the Cowboys' head coach that he only talked with Sanders.

Jerry Jones had a somewhat surprising characterization of his interview with Colorado football coach Deion Sanders for the Cowboys head coach vacancy after the Brian Scottenheimer hire.

I’m not giving up my fight. You’re gonna ride by here again in another year or two if this thing don’t work out again, and my song will still be singing like a young Diana Ross: Deion! All the way.'' - Michael Irvin on the Cowboys not hiring coach Sanders.
