Sanders confirmed that he spoke with Jones last week after reports surfaced connecting him to the Cowboys job.

The Dallas Cowboys were recently taken to task over owner Jerry Jones' handling of the head coaching situation.

After five seasons with Mike McCarthy at the helm, the Dallas Cowboys are on the hunt for a new head coach. The next head coach will be tasked with succeeding where so many of his predecessors have failed.

The Dallas Cowboys are entering their second week of searching for a head coach after moving on from Mike McCarthy last week. As of Monday morning, three interviews have been requested by the Jones family but there are names expected to be added to their list of candidates as they take it slow with their search.
