Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Former star cornerback-turned-college-football-coach Deion Sanders, one of the most revered players in NFL history, says he is intrigued by the idea of filling the Dallas Cowboys head coaching vacancy.

Sanders, who spent five of his 14 seasons with the Cowboys, made the comments during an interview with ESPN. He spoke with Jones on Monday, the same day the NFC East franchise terminated coach Mike McCarthy.
