5th and final year of contract. Seven guaranteed games remaining to help fix the Cowboys team. And Jerry Jones just biding time with a lost cause of a season with a coaching staff sitting out as lame ducks. That’s the reality for the entire coaching staff. But then there are rumors. Rumor that Deion Sanders — whose team is just two wins away from landing in the Big 12 Conference championship game, a massive improvement from a disappointing 2023 season — is currently being poached as an HC candidate for the Cowboys for the next season.
Ahead of his next away game against Kansas, Coach Prime had made it pretty clear at his weekly press conference: “I’m happy where I am, man. I’m good. I’ve got a kickstand down. You know what a kickstand is? A lot of people in here are not of age, they don’t know what a kickstand is. It means I’m resting, I’m good, I’m happy, I’m excited, I’m enthusiastic about where I am.”
Lest we forget, Deion wouldn’t part ways from his son, Buffs QB Shedeur Sanders, if they were to play the pro league together. Franchise veteran Michael Irvin went as far as saying Deion would “100 percent” say yes to the job if Dallas picked his son next year. The likelihood of the Cowboys picking Shedeur is far from guaranteed after giving their current franchise QB, Dak Prescott, a four-year, $240 million extension just a couple of months ago. Regardless, seven teams are currently in a far worse state and will be on a hunt for a franchise QB. However, none of these matters unless we hear from Jerry Jones. And the Shadow Commissioner has spoken at last!
Talking on 105.3 The Fan on Thursday, Jones seemingly poured cold water on Coach Prime joining the Cowboys next season: “I think we’re way ahead of ourselves relative to when and if he decides to go into coaching in the NFL. One of his greatest skills, that he really brings to college, is that he almost has no peer as far as being a recruiter. Kids want to come play for him. And he has a way of selling that.
