Michael Irvin believes there’s a way to lure Colorado coach Deion Sanders to the Cowboys<\/p>\n
With the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0sitting at 3-7 heading into Week 12, it’s starting to look like Mike McCarthy won’t be returning for a sixth season with the team. That means the Cowboys could be in the market for a new coach come January.<\/p>\n
If that happens, one name that keeps popping up is Deion Sanders. The Pro Football Hall of Famer spent five seasons in Dallas and won a\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0with the Cowboys in 1995. Although Sanders seems to be happy in his current role as head coach at Colorado, the Cowboys could still lure him to Dallas if they’re willing to do one thing, according to Michael Irvin.<\/p>\n
During\u00a0a Tuesday appearance on “The Herd,” Irvin was asked whether Sanders would consider taking the Cowboys coaching job if the team were to draft his son, Shedeur Sanders, and he gave a very interesting answer.<\/p>\n
“I believe 100% [yes], and I can tell you, good sources have told me that,” Irvin said. “Great sources have told me that. That’s all I can say like that without violating anything else.”<\/p>\n
Basically, if you believe Irvin, then Sanders would be all about taking the Dallas job if the Cowboys are willing to use their first-round pick in the 2025\u00a0NFL Draft\u00a0on Shedeur, who is currently a star quarterback at Colorado. Considering the Cowboys already have\u00a0Dak Prescott, this seems like an unlikely scenario, but crazier things have happened.<\/p>\n
Also, Irvin has already made it clear that he’s going to spend the next month pleading with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to hire Deion.<\/p>\n
Jones and Irvin actually did an interview together at the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight on Friday and the Hall of Fame receiver made sure to mention Deion.<\/p>\n
“Everybody loves Mike [Tyson], but everybody loves and respects Jake [Paul] also for what he’s done here,” Irvin said,\u00a0via PFT. “To have an ability to not go the normal route and still end up right here. You give him respect. I give him respect like I give my great guy Deion Sanders, who didn’t go the normal route. Who I’m gonna be in Jerry’s ear about later. That’s just something else we’re talking about.”<\/em><\/p>\n Irvin also sent out a tweet from that match that mentioned the Colorado coach.<\/p>\n
