Deion Sanders, the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes and former Dallas Cowboys star, is reportedly a strong candidate for the Cowboys' head coaching position, with mutual interest expressed between him and the franchise. The Cowboys have not reached a conference title game since 1995, which adds pressure to their coaching search. If hired, Sanders’ presence could shift the focus in the NFL, affecting other franchises looking for a head coach.
His hiring would spark speculation regarding his sons, particularly Shedeur Sanders, a highly ranked quarterback prospect, and could prompt discussions about Dak Prescott's future. While Sanders has stated he’d love to coach Prescott, the long-term implications could involve scrutiny of Prescott's contract and potential trades.
Given Sanders’ strong personality, he could overshadow Jerry Jones as the public face of the Cowboys, leading to a potential shift in team dynamics. This could allow for a much-needed rebuild, with the possibility of moving veterans like Prescott and Micah Parsons in a trade. The hiring of Sanders represents a significant potential shift in the franchise's direction.
