First of all there is zero chance Jerry would hire him. ZERO. Because no head coach can have more of the spotlight than Jerry.

Secondly, I don’t think Prime would take this job. He is actually good motivating college kids. Don’t th8nk his skills as a HC would translate to the next level.

Third, the Cowboys don’t lack confidence. They lack real toughness. They are softer than a roll of Charmin.
:hammer::hammer::hammer: that post deserves the Trouty 3 Hammer award for accuracy.

Deion's game works with college players, not with NFL players.
Love me some Deion, but when he was the focus of teams, it was party, celebrate, party, celebrate.
And underlining that type mentality is a lack of disciple, which is needed in building and sustaining a Super Bowl franchise.
See the Atlanta Falcons and Deion, for example.
It wasn't until he got with the 49ers, who had other stars to absorb his personality, did he win a Super Bowl.
And even though he got a ring with the Cowboys, there were reports that his style led to the demise of the Cowboys' strong work culture and precipitated the demise of a dynasty.
Love me some Deion and I'm a fan of the Colorado Buffalos because of him, but it's a "No" for me for him as a coach of the Cowboys.
We have enough of a circus round here anyway. Imagine adding Deion to the mix.

Hiring Deion is a bad idea. First, he doesn't stay anywhere very long. His schtick is not conducive to a tough physical team that we wanna be. He is a showman, like Jerry. I feel this would decimate the team. A match made in hell. Jerry and him would be like kindred spirits. What we need is a stabilizing HC that instills discipline and can relate with the players and understands how to best use them. We might not have that right now. After Monday, we will have a better understanding. The Chargers game is a crossroads of sorts.

My goodness, you could probably multiply the Cowboys' media attention x 10, min. but you'll actually be getting a coach very similar to Jimmy. Not so much an XO guy but demands respect and accountability from players AND coaches.

Now Is the Prime Time to Pay Attention to Deion Sanders’s Leadership Style​

Some business leaders see the swaggering Colorado football coach as a model because of his ability to make confidence contagious​


Everyone from The Rock to “60 Minutes” swooned over Deion Sanders after he led one of college football’s worst teams to a 3-0 record early this season. To business gurus, though, this is the moment that Coach Prime and his swagger really get interesting.

Now that his Colorado Buffaloes have lost two of their last three games, the true test of Sanders’s hyper-confident leadership style is whether it can withstand defeat, they say.
“Confidence is absolutely key because people need to believe that you know which levers to pull, whether you really know or not,” says Carter Pate, who specialized in corporate restructuring at PricewaterhouseCoopers before a three-year stint as chief executive of MV Transportation. “What always hangs in the back is: Be careful how much you hype if you can’t back it up.”
I would switch teams.

Stop it, Sanders is not an NFL coach, his college coaching methods would not work in the NFL.
He's only good at riding his sons' coattails these days, and using his connections to bring in assistants. Dude, is seriously not a coach. I've been watching him at Colorado, and it all kind of makes me laugh, because I know he's a fraud.

And Deion has stated that he wouldn't coach in the nfl because the players in today's NFL resistance to lack of disipline.
This is Dieon trying to make himself sound like an NFL coach.

C'mon. You think if Dieon is offered a HC job in the NFL, he would turn it down? That's not even possible. His ego is too large.

Yeah, but he’s got a mind to rhyme and two hyped feet.

Posts like these burn me up. Why do men of a certain profile have to win a title to even be considered for a hc job in the National Football League. Yet so many fans welcome burnt out retreads like Jeff Fisher and Dan Quinn who are .500 coaches. Not to mention others with no resume to back up their hires.

So many fans here had great things tobsay about the unfounded Jeff Saturday hire for head coach. Yet men like Deion "are not ready" or must win at the highest level first.

Not to mention the culture of nepotism in the N.F.L. which allows untalented people such as Steve Belicheck to be a coach with minimum to zero external coaching experience.

Also, if anyone has ever heard Deion talk football, he is one of the most intelligent, high I.Q. defensive personnel guys ever.
To be truly successful a HC has to be able to hold discipline. Has to show he knows his X's and O's
At this point in both areas Deion does not look good.

Their only quality win was against a rebuilding TCU team, the PAC 10 has had their way against Colorado. Find me an innovative oc the. I will be interested not a rah rah guy like Sanders

Jerry would do this because he is a marketing guy

Thread could’ve ended here. It’s not even worth a hypothetical discussion
