Thing appear to be at rock bottom in Dallas.
Following an embarrassing 34-10 loss to the Houston Texans on “Monday Night Football” at AT&T Stadium, it’s clear the Cowboys are in need of a major shake-up that will likely come in the form of finding a new voice at head coach.
The writing has been on the wall for Mike McCarthy ever since Dallas’ 48-32 playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers back in January. Owner Jerry Jones let McCarthy enter the final year of his contract without re-signing him to an extension — a seemingly clear indicator he plans to move on from the former Super Bowl winner after the season.
While former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick seems to be the consensus leader to be McCarthy’s successor among most NFL analysts, there is another candidate gaining steam the worse things get in Dallas: Deion Sanders.
According for former Cowboys star Michael Irvin, Sanders would almost certainly accept the team’s head-coaching job under one condition — the team drafts his son, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
“I believe 100% (he would take the job), and I could tell you good sources have told me that,” Irvin told Colin Cowherd on FSI’s “The Herd.” “Great sources have told me that. That’s all I can say like that without violating anything else.”
