“[Deion Sanders] Can Never Turn Down…” NFL Legend Doubles Down on Cowboys’ HC Prediction with Key Explanation

The Dallas Cowboys’ abysmal 2024 season might soon force Jerry Jones’ hand to flip the team upside down. With playoff hopes all but vanished, it may be time for the Cowboys’ owner to start planning for next season. Amidst the countless rumors buzzing, one stands out: Could former Cowboy, Deion Sanders, be the next head coach of America’s Team? With his history in Dallas and his undeniable charisma, Coach Prime may indeed be the shakeup the Cowboys need.

Sanders, who was instrumental in helping the Cowboys win Super Bowl XXX, might hold enough trust with Jerry Jones to land a coaching spot. However, there’s a twist—Sanders is known for bringing his sons, Shedeur and Shilo Sanders, along with him wherever he goes. This isn’t just hearsay; it’s backed up by none other than Cowboys’ legend and three-time Super Bowl champ Michael Irvin.

Three decades ago, Jerry Jones consulted Irvin when he first wanted Deion Sanders to play for the Cowboys. According to Irvin, Sanders was only a phone call away, and soon after, he was suiting up for the richest team in sports. Fast forward to today, and history could repeat itself—except now, Coach Prime would be arriving not just as a player, but potentially with his own cavalry in tow to take the reins as head coach.

Sanders’ connection with his sons runs deep. After the Colorado Buffaloes beat the Utah Utes this past Saturday, Sanders appeared on the Dan Patrick Show and emphasized that his sons have “really never played without me in his life.” This is where Michael Irvin’s belief in Sanders taking over the Cowboys finds its roots. In Irvin’s words, “A father like Deion can never turn down being with his son…and with his son at quarterback, he’s the coach. That’s why I tossed it out there, because I know how much he loves being with his sons, and I know how much they love being together.”

The ex-Cowboys receiver’s comments speak volumes about the nature of Deion’s possible role as head coach. Irvin has previously said he’s “100% sure” that the Cowboys would hire Sanders if they have the chance.

Michael Irvin Doubles Down on His Deion Sanders Stance

Michael Irvin didn’t stop there. He recently joined Colin Cowherd on his podcast, where he doubled down on his prediction. According to Irvin, his “great sources” have indicated that Sanders joining the Dallas Cowboys is a real possibility. However, Deion Sanders himself has consistently emphasized that he loves his role coaching at the college level and doesn’t want to leave his sons without guidance as they prepare for their transition into the big leagues.

“Jerry and Deion are very close, and with every other coach, all the stuff that Jerry does is a distraction,” Irvin explained. But with Sanders, the dynamic changes. He’s more than a coach—he’s a mentor, and his influence extends beyond the field. “Deion is in every aspect of the kids’ life. That’s mentorship. It makes a difference when a kid hits the field,” Irvin emphasized. The former receiver continued by pointing out the unique rapport Sanders has with young athletes today, noting, “These kids now, you can’t place a hammer over them…”

While the Cowboys’ future remains uncertain, one thing is clear: Deion Sanders could very well be the transformational leader they need. Whether Sanders dons the headset in Dallas or stays put in Colorado, the NFL world is buzzing, and the Cowboys are at the heart of the speculation.
