after that dallas cowboys With former head coach Mike McCarthy's contract expiring today, many have begun speculating who will be interviewing for one of the most infamous roles in the NFL. Is it the original? seahawks Head coach Pete Carroll? Can current DC Mike Zimmer get promoted? What about Jason Witten, a former Cowboy legend and current high school coach in Texas?
We got the first answer. It came from someone who has worn the star before: current Colorado head coach Deion Sanders. Fox Sports' Jordan Schultz reports that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Sanders have discussed the job, and he is considered the frontrunner.

As many others have guessed, previously #Cowboys Star Deion Sanders, who has been in regular talks with Jerry Jones over the past few decades, has some interest in the Dallas job, according to sources. The Cowboys have at least some interest, too.
The two sides will continue to maintain contact. https://t.co/73lzFkndmO

Our James Deiter wrote last year about the possibility of Sanders becoming the Cowboys' coach. That may be happening now.
Since arriving at Jackson State University, Sanders has risen through the ranks like a meteor. Since becoming a college coach, he has compiled a 40-18 record at both Jackson State and Colorado. Meanwhile, son Shedule Sanders has developed into a potential top QB in the 2025 NFL Draft, and DB/WR Travis Hunter has won the Heisman and could be the top pick in April. be. He also played for the Cowboys from 1995 to 1999, so Jerry already knows what a star player looks like.
To be honest, I don't know how this will turn out, but I'm sure the content along the way will be great. Imagine if Sanders got the job, traded QB Dak Prescott to draft his son, and then decided to make an effort to draft Hunter as well. Just look back at all the things we did in Colorado, right down to having all the members of the Wu-Tang Clan on the sideline for every game. At least Cowboys games will be fun…for those who aren't affiliated with the Cowboys.
Honestly, having Mr. Sanders involved in this job is 1,000 times better than Jason Witten or Jason Garrett, so this is a positive step.
