Could Coach Prime Join the Dallas Cowboys?

In 2023, Colorado’s football coach, Deion Sanders, had a clear message: no NFL coaching job for him. But as things often go in the sports world, opinions can change. Recently, he softened his stance, saying he’d consider an NFL job—if it meant coaching his sons. Now, there’s a buzz about him possibly joining the Dallas Cowboys, even without his sons on the team. Reports suggest that Sanders and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones have been communicating. Betting odds initially favored Sanders, but now they’re shifting towards Kellen Moore. According to Ed Werder from WFAA, Sanders is likely to accept the Dallas job, and people around him are encouraging him to take it. Jones is apparently thrilled about the idea.

However, there are some hurdles to overcome. Apart from Sanders’ compensation, there’s an $8 million buyout to think about. Sanders will also need to be comfortable with Jones running the show, doing two weekly radio interviews, and conducting post-game media sessions that could steal the spotlight from Sanders’ press conferences. This story has all the right ingredients to attract major attention. The Cowboys would become even more interesting, surpassing even the Chiefs in overall intrigue. That’s exactly what Jones is hoping for. After all, any team can win, but only the Cowboys are the Cowboys. With Sanders, known as “Coach Prime, ” leading the team, the Cowboys could reach new heights, especially in prime-time games.
