Jerry Jones Considers Deion Sanders for Cowboys Head Coach

The Dallas Cowboys are engaged in speculation over the possibility of hiring Deion Sanders as their next head coach after parting ways with Mike McCarthy. While some commentators, like Doug Gottlieb, believe Sanders is strategically raising his profile, others, such as Jason Whitlock, dismiss the rumors as a mere gimmick to leverage a better salary at Colorado. ESPN's Tony Kornheiser and Mike Greenberg also suggest that owner Jerry Jones may be more interested in the publicity surrounding Sanders rather than a serious coaching hire. Kornheiser argues that Jones, at 82, is chasing one last shot at glory and may be willing to share the spotlight with Sanders to enhance the Cowboys' brand. Despite Sanders' success at Colorado, he has expressed a strong attachment to his current program, complicating the situation. The Cowboys' coaching search is further complicated by the timing, as other candidates are unavailable due to postseason commitments.
