Drew Pearson believes this needs to happen for Deion Sanders to become head coach

[rocknrobcowboy]

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Drew Pearson is keen on the idea of Deion Sanders becoming the tenth head coach in Cowboys history.
Pearson, who is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Cowboys Ring of Honor, joined SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio on Thursday to discuss Dallas' head coaching vacancy.

When host Michelle Beadle asked Pearson whether he thought Sanders would be patient enough with Jerry Jones and tolerate that part of the job, Pearson didn’t mince words.

Deion would not accept the job as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys unless he had control of personnel and decisions concerning personnel. Jerry should be able to relinquish that because he should have confidence enough if he hires Deion Sanders that Deion Sanders knows what he’s doing,” Pearson said.

Pearson went on to describe why he thought Sanders would be a good hire for Dallas.
“He knows how to build programs. He knows how to find the athletes. He’s a presence in that Cowboy locker room that we haven’t had in a long time. A presence that’s been there. A presence that knows what it takes to win a Super Bowl,” Pearson said.

Yeah he isn’t going to be the coach

Jerry wouldn't relinquish that much power to anyone much less a first time NFL HC.

I don't think Drew (one of my all-time favorite cowboys) is really grasping the strangle hold jerry has on personnel and why. Jerry has to be able to take credit and won't hire anyone who is going to show him up or eclipse him.

Posted in the new members area but posting here because I welcome y'all's opinions lol:

Hey y'all! I gotta be upfront with this: I'm not a Cowboys fan. I don't hate them, just indifferent to them. I'm a Panthers fan and UNC football fan. The whole Belichick UNC era is weird for me, too. I'm used to hating him but for the first time in my life feel real hope with the UNC program. He's been there a month and has already helped turn the recruiting game around.

So naturally this Cowboys hiring search has me anxious, even if Mike Lombardi says Belichick is 100 percent committed to UNC. My question to y'all:
Do you guys have a sense of how likely it is that Jerry pays the $10 million buyout and hires Belichick? Also, do you know who the best bet to follow for real info on the coaching hunt and who is or isn't being considered? Ed Werder? God forbid, Skip Bayless???

Nice meeting all of y'all.

I would put that at near zero. Jerry is notoriously cheap when it comes to coaches and he isn't going to relinquish personnel decisions which would probably be a sticking point for a control freak like belechek.

I've already posted this. Deon is not coming here unless Jerry agrees to the following:

Trade enough to Carolina to get the 1st round pick so he can draft Shadeur. In order to get that 1st round they will have to trade a 1st round next year and Micah Parsons. And/or trade Dak but eat a huge chunk of his salary. And have to get Dak to agree.

Deon isnt coaching a team when his son is playing on another team in the same league.

TBH I don't think Deon has shown he's good enough to take the position. What has he really done with Colorado?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Also, Bryce is finally starting to break through with the Panthers, so why in the world would they want Dak?

Would it help if we threw in a bag of chips? Maybe two?

Drew Pearson? What does he have to do with anything? These idiot ex-Cowboys don’t know ****. They should stay out of what the Cowboys have to do because they are clueless. Just a bunch of dumb*** making noise about things they know nothing about.

 

[SpaceCowboy99]

Carolina picks eighth. What makes you think Shedeur would be even close to available at 8

Oh sorry I haven't kept up. Who's picking first? I meant whatever team is picking first.

The issue is Jerry and it always has been. His son is not any better, he is part of the problem.

Lol. Guess Drew doesn't pay attention to the way we do things around here.

 

[Diehardblues]

He’s already said remaining in Colorado .

 

[Coogiguy03]

There's got to be a level of respect that Jerry has for Deion as a player first and a coach 2nd, you're talking about the best CB in history, we're not talking about Mark Stepnoski here or Alvin harper

 

[slick325]

Every coach interviewing with Dallas should be asking for that in their contract. Especially if "incentive based" contracts are being offered.

Let me pick my own groceries and you whip out the credit card and pay Jones boys.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Deion is the Jerry Jones of coaching.

All about himself and working with his family.

It's insane that Cowboys fans actually want this guy as the coach when they supposedly can't stand the way Jerry does things.

Sincere question out of my own ignorance...

When has JJ ever hired a head coach because he (JJ) had enough confidence in the head coach to let that head coach have control of personnel and decisions concerning personnel?

 

[Creeper]

Everything I read about Deion Sanders tells me there is no chance it would work out if Jerry did hire him. Deion wants his own people around him, including coaches and we all know Jerry does the hiring of all coaches. We already know Jerry wants Witten as part of the staff.

We also know Jerry is not giving up control of the coaches or the players.

Jimmy Johnson had control of football operations until about 93 when Jones wanted more control.

 

[Aven8]

That’s what I’m about. If you’re going to bring in some ex player coaches, bring in the ones that have won SB’s.

Honestly, Jimmy was the only head coach I could think of that had that kind of control, but wasn't 100% certain.

We all know what happened when Jerry wanted more control...
