N/S Cowboys has spoken to Deion Sanders about their head coach job; talks to continue (3 Viewers)

[livefromDC]

Personally I've enjoyed watching Colorado the last few years, but you're saying that as if he's been winning national championships.

He's done an amazing job getting 2 schools at 2 different levels pointed in the right direction. Very impressive, no doubt. With that said, he doesn't seem to be attempting to finish what he's started, if he's already wanting to jump to the NFL.

At least you're giving him credit, many don't. But by a few years, you mean two. And if it were anyone else, the job he's done in Boulder would be applauded. In 2 years, he created a winning program.

People thought it was a joke when he went to Jackson State. People said Travis Hunter was making the worst mistake of his life playing for Deion. People said Deion was in for a rude awakening at Colorado, that it wasn't the SWAC. In 2 years, he took their win total from 1 game to 9 games.

Willie Fritz took 7 seasons to finally win at least 9 games in a season in the American Athletic Conference and people acted like it was an amazing coaching feat.

And as far as coaches jumping ship to a better opportunity, that has been happening since the beginning of coaching and as fast as opportunity presents itself. Deion has broken new ground at times, but this wouldn't be one of those occasions.

Deion as a coach in the NFL and his son being their 1st round pick in the draft feels like a sure fire way to not be a contender. However, even if thats the case, the story of PrimeTime returning the Cowboys with his son at QB it would generate tons of media coverage, prime time games, ticket sales, merchandise sells. Its actually a really good move by Jerry Jones as an NFL owner for a few years from a business perspective.

Please do it

As others have said, not exactly a rejection. That said, I’ve got my fingers crossed that he’ll be staying. He’s got the top QB recruit coming. He’s got a lot of potential with the Buffs and I think he wants a National Championship. He is also practically worshipped around here. The naysayers are loud but they are very very very few.

My thinking is that at some point, a father needs to let his kids be adults. Sanders is huge on taking care of his family but he should know that those boys need to stand on their own two feet.

Finally, I know he LOVES Glacier Ice Cream and doesn’t want to give it up. So there’s that.

I want him to stay in Colorado because I think he'd actually be good at the NFL level. I don't want to see him in Dallas because I despise the Cowboys. Despite the blinders worn by people in this thread, he's shown that he's really good at whatever he does. Spite and noses

Please!!! Over rated coach with an over rated son at QB who got demolished by every ranked team and went 1-6 lol.

 

[whodatbe]

I'm not a fan of Sanders, but to be fair has elevated the schools he has coached. It would interesting to see where this goes. I wonder what the their fans think of this situation.

Not bringing politics into the fray, but Jerry Jones is worse than Donald Trump when it comes to attention. He’ll do just about anything to keep the spotlight on Dallas, especially in prime time spots.

I guess you do what ya gotta do.

I still think Prime is gonna go to the raiders where he can hand select the GM he wants to work with and have more influence on personnel. Prime is too big of a personality to be Jerry Jones lapdog.

We're still betting against Deion Sanders huh? Third times a charm I guess.

He hasn’t done anything. They don’t beat good teams dating back to JState. Never won the celebration bowl and the ranked teams beat his teams silly at Colorado. Dallas is a disaster waiting to happen and I’ll be laughing.

Please!!! Over rated coach with an over rated son at QB who got demolished by every ranked team and went 1-6 lol.

Let's not forget, got beat by KU and KState, and his son looked like flat back butt cheeks in those games. Favortism is real in the college rankings, because in no way, shape or form should a team have been ranked that lost to KU and KState and it showed in the Bowl game against BYU (who wasn't even good).

A head coach’s job is to inspire and lead his troops into battle, Deon has proved he can do that. You allow the Gm and the others to assemble the roster with his tweaking, and let him do his thing. He’ll absolutely succeed at any level. He’s adopted old school principles of accountability, and was probably mentored by Saban. (even uses Sabans no untucked shirts rule) Those principles plus inspired leadership, is the key to success, imo.

If he does go to the Cowboys, there’s a 100% chance Hunter and Shadeur pull am Eli and refuse to play for anyone else but the Cowboys. Guaranteed. They are all already multi-millionaires, they can handle being drafted later.

Jerry Jones loves being the center of attention. Hiring Prime keeps him in the news, good or bad.
