Why Deion wouldn't work in Dallas

[65fastback2plus2]

To be fair, one of the main duties of being a D1 head coach is being a sales guy

same for anyone working under Jerry

 

[J_Allen]

Nobody has a shot as a head coach with the Personnel decisions the front office makes and the distraction of Jerry jones. Marcus Spears said it, he makes everybody very uncomfortable hovering around the locker room and practice on a daily basis. People don't like it.

And then secondly, really great players don't make good head coaches. That's why Michael Jordan has never been a coach. It's the backups and role players who really thrive as coaches.

 

[OGSixshooter]

I wouldn’t want Deion as the coach if we had to draft his son too. Nepotism already has ruined this franchise

This is the wisdom of the ages. BUT...is it nepotism if Shadeur is really that good? Was it nepotism with Kyle and Mike Shanahan?

same for anyone working under Jerry

Yeah I mean Deion would fit in really well here

I just meant he wouldn't be conducive to winning

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

He wants total control

He's all about discipline ( a great thing), but how can you really discipline players in the NFL these days. It seems that the players have all the leverage, ESPECIALLY when you've signed a new deal. Our guys don't seem to play well after getting the bag, can Deion really come in here and say "you're not playing because you're not doing good enough???" We're really going to pay players to sit the bench?


A lot of things slide in the NFL, look at Zeke being late for meetings. Deion said in his college meetings he wish a player would be late, and they have to be there BEFORE the meetings etc start. Would Zeke really be held accountable, he missed several meetings.

It sounds good it's a feel good story, this is the million Deion thread, but i'm looking at things from an NFL standpoint that may not work, which is why Deion in his heart of hearts would rather stay on the collegiate level. Please give your thoughts

I want him on the sidelines. He is a hall of famer and one of the best defensive players to ever play the game. He's also transformed Colorado into a contender in two years, after they had been at the bottom of the heap since the late 90s. Those type of accolades and results command respect from even the most stubborn players. They can relate to him, and they will respect him.

People tend to forget that Travis Hunter was the #1 player in his HS recruiting class. Deion recruited him to play for Jackson State. Hunter and Deion's own son are both at the top of all of the heisman lists. The man can coach and get through to his players. He's a natural born teacher and leader. I'll say it now. I think he's an elite up and coming NFL coaching prospect.

He can prove he knows what he's doing before walking through the doors. He also knows JJ on a personal level and knows exactly how he operates, so I don't see culture shock becoming an issue. They would probably butt heads, but I think their personal relationship would temper and adverse issues. I would've called someone crazy if they had suggested he'd be a top candidate to be the leader of the Cowboys next season, but the man is a miracle worker and has proven me wrong. I think this needs to happen.

This isn't LeBron and Bronny. Shedeur is a legitimate NFL prospect. We'd be lucky to have him.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Dieon would demand more from the players and wouldn’t give a hoot about Jerrys preferences. He’s gonna fine and bench whoever deserves it. The issue with Jerry will be personnel issues. Jerry can’t go sign people Dieon doesn’t want to coach like he did with Parcels and TO.

I don’t think Jerry would hire Dieon bc it would take the attention and spotlight off him.

 

[jazzcat22]

Why do you always cry and complain when people give their opinions, we don't need you to notify us of our opinions! I got my buddy big dog for that!

I don’t cry and complain, I tell the truth.

 

[links18]

Is Deion "working" in Colorado?

 

[Whirlwin]

It would be the best thing that ever happened, in the past 20 years

 

[CTcowboy203]

I don’t even think we have enough of a basis for Deion as a head coach to say he’s all about discipline. I think Deion motivates the hell out of young players, can recruit his *** off and is a great sales man for his programs.

I’m not necessarily sure that he’s a disciplined coach in regards to professional players and I’m not sure yet how great of a strategic coach he is. Not saying he isn’t- I’m simply unsure. I think for the college level half the battle is getting players to 100% buy in and then also being able to recruit.

Idk if deions ability to get buy in will work on the professional level

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

I don’t think Colorado is complaining….

I think his point was deon is perfect for college kids not pro athletes.

He can't recruit and he has a salary cap.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Why it wouldn’t work: Jerry

Bingo, not going to out stage Jed at this stage of his life. He is going out like the old blue eyes song, “I did it my way”.

 

[CTcowboy203]

Deion comes and his first move he keeps zimmer as coordinator lol

 

[65fastback2plus2]

Yeah I mean Deion would fit in really well here

Like I've told some fellow cowboys fans in talking recently..."We've been losing for 30 years with mostly clown shows. If we're going to lose, we can at least have something enjoyably entertaining!"

He benched his son for the championship game because he showed up late.

Jimmy Johnson was able to discipline players.

I don't know if Deion could but other coaches do so it's possible.

 

[BrassCowboy]

....good luck with that when Kellen Moore arrives......you'll get none of what you describe with a Prime hiring......iit will be rinse & repeat and a lot of "Yes sirs".

Yeah I am not for prime or Kellen Moore. We need a young Dan Campbell type head coach. And definitely no to Bill bellicek

 

[LysleE]

I personally don’t buy into the “Prime” hype because I think that is just a persona. From what I’ve read and heard Deion is a legit coach who demands discipline and accountability; neither of these things would be possible with Jerry’s incessant meddling and undermining of coaches; moreover, Deion I think, would cast a shadow over Jerry…and we all know Jerry couldn’t handle that.
That’s too bad because Deion has earned all the accolades that all NFL players respect; and I think he could certainly command their attention and respect in and out of the locker room.

 

[Floatyworm]

Deion wouldn't work because he's a salesman, not a coach.

Why it would work....might want to look @ Colorado's staff....he has 3 times the staff as the Cowboys. Deion has his bases covered unlike the old man that can't close the curtains.
