Jerry Jones had no comment on the future of the Cowboys, who were eliminated in the wild-card round of the playoffs, but Robert Griffin III believes there is a solution.
Fire Mike McCarthy and hire Deion Sanders.
The former NFL quarterback and ESPN analyst made the bold declaration in a video posted to X shortly after the loss.
“I hate asking coaches for jobs because that’s not my job, but it has to be the coach,” Griffin said. “You guys have won 12 games three seasons in a row and you have nothing to show for it. … A lot of people are saying we should get Bill Belichick as the next coach, because this game already Because we all know that Mike McCarthy was stuck before it was over.His office was empty.He was gone.
“But I know who you need. You need Coach Prime. That's right, Deion Sanders, Coach Prime.”
Sanders played in Dallas from 1995 to 1999 and was a member of the last Cowboys team to win a Super Bowl.
During his playing days, Sanders won two Super Bowls and helped put Colorado State's football program on the map since joining the coaching ranks in recent years.
However, in his first season, the Buffaloes finished with a record of 4 wins and 8 losses.
“Coach Prime knows how to win in Dallas,” Griffin continued. “He knows what it takes to have a championship mindset. He knows how to hold his guys accountable and he's a culture changer. In the 27-6 win at Jackson State. Look at what he did at HBCUs. The culture completely changed. Then he went to Colorado and changed his mindset there.”
Whether Sanders actually wants to take the Cowboys job is another story entirely.
Coach Prime is in his second season at the helm of the Colorado football program.
If Jones ultimately decides to fire McCarthy, he has several coaches with NFL experience.
