Amidst swirling rumors about Deion Sanders potentially taking the helm as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Cowboys star Drew Pearson has publicly endorsed Coach Prime's return to the professional league. The speculation ignited after the Cowboys parted ways with Mike McCarthy, sparking discussions about potential successors.
Pearson expressed confidence in Sanders' abilities, highlighting his experience and success at various coaching levels. "His qualifications are undeniable," Pearson told TMZ Sports. "He's climbed the coaching ladder, proving himself every step of the way, from high school to college. He's earned the opportunity to lead a professional team, and I believe he should be a top contender for the Cowboys' position."
While the Cowboys' official interest in Sanders remains unclear, the coach himself has stated his commitment to Colorado unless an NFL opportunity allows him to coach his sons. Sanders confirmed discussions with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones but stopped short of declaring a definite intention to leave Colorado. "Speaking with Jerry Jones was a privilege, and the prospect is certainly interesting," Sanders remarked to ESPN. "I have immense respect for Jerry. While the idea is compelling, my focus remains on Boulder, our team, the coaching staff, students, and the community."
