Why should we hire Deion Sanders?

Like lots of people here, my mind lives in the 90s. In the 90s, Deion was the only CB that existed in my mind like Shannon Sharpe was the only Tight End that existed.

But as a coach, he has done nothing. He was 9-4 this year in a lame conference. Im not expecting a miracle from him in his 2nd year, but if he's such a top coach.... why can't he elevate such an overhyped program with 2 Heisman candidates into at least a playoff birth? Making the playoffs is a joke now.... Arizona St turned around faster than Deion did.... and they didn't have a coach anyone cared about before this year. Maybe his 3rd year is his year, but the possibility of that is kinda dubious now with his 2 Heisman loverboys going to the NFL.

Also, we know picks 1, 2 and 3 are Sanders, Ward, and Hunter name your order. If Shedur goes to the Giants.... who's to say he can remain objective and without emotion sending Parsons and the full fleet against his son twice a year?

I say we hire Jon Gruden. He was my favorite coach in the early 00s. Ok maybe you can argue Martz, but he was a playcaller primarily. Gruden can REALLY build a team. Look what he did with Oakland and Tampa.... 2 black hole franchises at the time. Maybe he didn't "build" Tampa, but I highly doubt Dungy wins the Super Bowl with that 02 team.

Jerry likes the hype. A ton of focus on the Cowboys.

Well, he Is the franchises all-time passing leader. So there's that. ......But, Parcels only had Romo as a starter for one year. So, how much impact did you expect?

He was coached under Parcells for 3 seasons. Also Dak is more than likely taking that passing leader title this upcoming season, so it doesn't mean much

If you think NFL players won't follow Deion Sanders, an iconic hall of fame player with a personality the size of Australia, I don't know what to tell you. I mean, I guess the new generation is young. But they know who Deion Sanders is.

How does Deion make Micah a better football player? Not better in dealing with his fame. But better technically.

How does Deion help Mazi or any other guy ranked 15-52 on the roster?

He’d be great for Diggs and Bland. But I don’t think he cares to get into the details of how to make players better for other positions.

What does that have to do with his play on the field? Are we trying to get Dak a commentary job after his career is over too?

All the other TOP cowboys QBs over the years have a commentating gig lol, he's on pace
 
Deion would be a disaster as head coach. I think Jerry thinks with Deion he is catching lightning in a bottle. He thinks Deion is the 2nd coming of Jimmy Johnson. But Jimmy reached the top rung of college football in Miami. Deion has built a pretty average team around his sons. Deion is not Jimmy Johnson.

To make things worse, hiring Deion probably means we draft Shedeur in the first round. I have watched Colorado a few times the last two years and Shedeur is nothing special and all this talk about him being the first pick in the draft is just Deion pumping up nonsense to help his son. Shedeur would be an awful choice for Dallas. The problem is, if Deion is coach, how do you get him to bench his son if he sucks? How do you cut him? How do you fire Deion with his son on the team. Too many problems.

As for Deion, does he really want to give up all the control he has in Colorado to come and play water boy for Jerry?

Parcells chewed Romo, and where did that get Romo?

Romo needed more time to develop under a real HC. Romo had to figure out alot of stuff on his own and everything clicked for him a bit too late in his career.
 
Gruden can't relate to modern players and he is a horrible judge of talent...especially QB talent.

No thank you.
 
I think Jerry made a big mistake by letting McCarthy go. Let's hope he'll find some poor sucker to put up with him. His chances of that are again, minimal, imho. It might go smoothly for a year or eveb more, but inevitably, the inherent conditions are bound to muck things up. Jerry would be wise to remove himself from the GM picture entirely and allow a capable replacement to save him and his family any further embarrassments.

You had me until Gruden. That dude sucks. Not as a football coach, either.

Just because you like Gruden, don’t try to rip Sanders. He turned both college programs around faster than anyone thought was possible. You’re ripping him for not being in the championship after two years?? WTH??? Don’t be that dumb, please. At least be bright enough not to go out on that argument!

You asked why hire Sanders? Here are a few things. Take them for what you want, but again don’t slam him because you like Gruden. And hold John Gruden
to the same standard. BTW, My first choice is Prime, my second choice is Chucky.

1) You need a quick turnaround. Deion will get guys here immediately. Based on that alone, I’d hire him. Football players love Deion. Hire him and you’ll have your choice of FAs. Guarantee guys will be lined up and taking deals. Why? Prime will market them to make the extra cash $$$ they turn away from other teams. He’s a marketing genius. It’s a win win. And It’s exciting if you really think about it!!!

2) Jerry will listen to guys like Michael Irving, Troy Aikman, and Deion Sanders. Nobody will change him, but at least he respects them enough to get him to listen.

3) Parsons wants Zimmer. Zimmer was Primes DC for two years and would probably change his mind to stay if he were hired. They are very close!!! Makes MP very happy!!!

4) Jerry wants to relive the Jimmy story all over again. Sanders is Jimmy. He’s the most exciting, outspoken, hard ***, and one of the most respected coaches out there. History is about to repeat itself brother!!! You heard it here first!!!!

Better passing defense means longer to get to the opposing quarterback...and better pressure at the same time.

Delay top shelf winning and one loses that aspect from team.

Not even ball park analysis. He elevates the passing game from the start, on both sides of the ball. The passing game still runs the NFL in today's game.

Jerry is in a pickle here. He needs to hire someone that's going to make a big enough splash to make him look smart. The national media is making him look like an old fool overplaying his hand with MM and screwing himself out of being able to talk to top tier assistant coaches on playoff teams last week.. Jerry needs a win. He needs it soon, and he'll pay for Dieon bc of who he is.

Jerry doesn't respect "walk around coaches". the same way he respects his former HOF players who have won super bowls for him. Dieon will forever be in Jerry's good graces for bringing him that post-Jimmy Super Bowl trophy. People may not remember, but that win meant a lot to Jerry b/c he felt it vindicated him. That's why we see Dieon in the ROH in spite of only being a cowboy for 5 seasons and less than half his career. If Jerry is going to open up his wallet for anyone, it's Dieon Sanders.

Deion is not in the ROH.
 
People ask for accountability and that’s what Deion brings

People don’t like him because he’s flashy…and his confidence
