The Dallas Cowboys’ search for a new head coach is about to dominate the NFL news cycle for a while, and we already have our first big name with a substantial rumor for the job. Former Cowboys player, NFL legend, and current college coach Deion Sanders has been contacted by Dallas about their vacancy.
Not even a full day since the news that Mike McCarthy would not be returning, Sanders is the first candidate reported to be having an actual discussion with Jerry Jones about the job. While everyone under the sun has been speculated about, Coach Prime was one of the stronger considerations given his links to the team and a profile worthy of the NFL’s flashiest franchise.
