It’s that time of the year in the NFL.
Deion Sanders is by no means qualified to be an NFL head coach by traditional standards.
He doesn’t have nearly enough experience to coach the Dallas Cowboys.
But I no longer think that even matters for a head coach.
I’m not sure their actual football knowledge matters in the slightest.
He knows how to work with coordinators and allow for their ideas to mesh with his.
He knows when to intervene and when to take a step back.
But realistically, there’s about 10 of those guys who exist.
Coordinators are so fucking important.
I think they’re more important than head coaches.
Teams have been paying the wrong people for years.
Why wouldn’t the Lions quadruple Ben Johnson’s salary at the end of this season?
It’s not like teams don’t have the money to do it.
There’s no salary cap for coaching staffs.
But that’s a whole different subject.
Why not hire someone like Deion who will bring energy to the team.
Someone who the players will relate to and want to play for.
Let Deion be the mouth piece of the Cowboys, let him give his viral motivational speeches.
Let him be the scapegoat when shit goes south.
Let him stand on the sideline with a headset and an enormous gold chain.
His XXXXXXL sunglasses will actually come in handy inside sunny AT&T Stadium.
What do the Dallas Cowboys have to lose?
It can’t get much worse for them.
I think it would be best for both of them if they had a little space.
It would almost certainly behoove them to get some experience away from each other.
Maybe spend a few years honing their crafts without unconditional love clouding their judgement.
A first time father/son + head coach/QB duo sounds like a recipe for disaster in the NFL.
But if Deion wants the job, I don’t see why the Cowboys would give him a shot.
His kids are about to be off the NFL.
Deion has ties to the Cowboys.
I know his ego is big enough that he thinks he can do the job.
At this point I’d almost be surprised if it doesn’t happen.
Jerry Jones is getting desperate to win a Super Bowl before he dies.
It’s about time he tries something drastic.
