ESPN Analyst Calls Deion Sanders ‘Perfect’ for Cowboys

As the losses begin to pile up for NFL teams after the trade deadline, the coaching carousel begins to spin.

Not only did the Bears shoot offensive coordinator Shane Waldron after their third consecutive defeat on Sunday, but rumors continue to circulate around Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy after, without Dak Prescott, Dallas fell 34-6 to the Eagles over the weekend and now sits at 3-6 on the season.

So who could potentially replace McCarthy if owner Jerry Jones decides to part ways with him? ESPN’s Domonique Foxworth goes with Colorado’s Deion Sanders.

“As you were talking, I realized that Deion was actually the perfect person for this situation.” Foxworth explained Tuesday Get up!. “Because there has to be someone with enough personality and credibility to be able to say, ‘I don’t care what the owner says.’ And when players try to get around the situation, Deion will say, “No, I can’t accept that.”

“It has to be someone like that,” he continued. “Maybe (Bill) Belichick falls into that category because of his cachet. Where it’s someone who is so respected and has so much cache or power or goodwill coming from somewhere else that Jerry Jones can’t upstage them and make them look like they’re just cronies of the owner.

While McCarthy’s Cowboys have lost their last four games after a 3-2 start, Sanders’ Colorado team is on tears. Led by son Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy favorite WR/CB Travis Hunter, the Buffaloes have started the 2024 season 7-2 and are ranked No. 18 in the nation by the AP as they battle for a berth the College Football Playoff.
