Coach Prime is considered a top candidate, though the Cowboys plan to interview other candidates as part of the process, per team sources.”

What makes this news confusing and exciting all at once is that Sanders had initially stated he had no interest in coaching in the NFL. However, he more recently stated he would head to the pros if he could coach his sons.
The issue is that the most coveted of the Sanders sons is quarterback Shadeur Sanders, who is projected to get drafted in the top five of the draft. The Cowboys would have to make a massive jump from their current No. 12 selection to land Shadeur if that was a request that Deion made.
Dallas could also go after Shilo Sanders, but he is likely set to be a later-round pick in the draft. This is just wild speculation regarding Deion’s recent comments on the matter.
What is true is Deion is a proven winner. He turned around Jackson State, the Colorado football program, and could theoretically do the same at the professional level.
Deion has shown that he can rally a team and bring players together. He is also one of the best players the game has ever seen.
Deion’s coaching prowess and previous playing career could lead to many free agents wanting to choose Dallas as their next playing destination.
The Cowboys have a head coach vacancy after the shocking news they chose to move on from Mike McCarthy. The news came as a shock due to both parties presumably working on a new deal.
The Chicago Bears attempted to interview McCarthy, but that request was shot down by the Cowboys. This signaled that a new deal was incoming.
Dallas then revealed that they would instead move on from McCarthy. Now, the Cowboys could be aiming to bring in one of the more exciting candidates, Deion Sanders.
