Rumors are circling in Dallas that Owner Jerry Jones wants to make former Cowboy Deion Sanders the team’s next head coach. Is this a good idea?
Pro: Yes, Deion will inject life into a franchise that has been lifeless under Mike McCarthy.

Pro: Insiders claim that Jerry Jones appears to be willing to make the trades to move up to draft Shedeur Sanders which would give Dallas a franchise QB. Sanders would love to coach his son in the NFL.

Deion won’t be able to pass up the opportunity to be the next head coach of the Cowboys and decides to leave Colorado. Jerry Jones engineers a trade to get the #1 pick, and Deion and Shadeur will be partnered in the foreseeable future.
Is this in the best interest of the Cowboys?
