Jerry Jones has hired eight head coaches since he purchased the Cowboys in 1989. Jimmie Johnson, Barry Switzer, Dave Campo and Jason Garrett have all had relationships with Jones or the Cowboys, and Chan Gailey, Bill Parcells, Wade Phillips and Mike McCarthy are previous head coaches. expertise.
So, on the surface, Deion Sanders makes sense as a consideration for Jones’ ninth head coach.
Sanders, the coach at the University of Colorado, and Jones have talked about the Cowboys’ head coach vacancy, according to multiple reports.
This news is a win-win: Sanders can use it for more leverage, and Jones, well, loves publicity of any kind. Everyone’s talking about the Cowboys, just the way Jones likes to.
But it seems like a long shot since Jones doesn’t even pay coaches’ salaries, so he’s definitely not paying buyout value. Sanders has an $8 million buyout to leave Colorado.
Sanders went 4-8 in his first season as the Buffaloes’ head coach and was 9-4 in 2024 with Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter.
Kellen Moore and Jason Witten, who also have Cowboys ties, appear more likely to get the job than Sanders because they will cost less money than Sanders.
