What’s cooking in Dallas? Cowboys owner Jerry Jones just dropped a rumor mixtape that’s got everyone talking. The hottest track? Deion Sanders as head coach, with bonus cut features like Warren Sapp adding to the hype. Even Nick Saban is jumping in with his stamp of approval. Could the Cowboys be on the brink of the most headline-grabbing coaching hire ever?
The Dallas Cowboys’ search for a new head coach has hit center stage, and Deion Sanders is stealing the spotlight. After Mike McCarthy got the boot, Jerry Jones reportedly had a chat with Sanders, igniting a firestorm of speculation. But here’s the kicker: Rich Eisen and Suzy Shuster didn’t just stop at Deion. “It makes perfect sense to bring in Deion Sanders. You know that once Deion comes, others will follow. It seems like, right now, no one is the Pied Piper of football more than Deion Sanders. Does that then open the doors for…Will we see Sapp [Warren Sapp] come with him?” They tossed Warren Sapp’s name into the mix, too.

Imagine this—Deion calling the shots, Sapp coaching up the D-line. That’s not just a team; that’s a Netflix doc waiting to happen. Saban made it clear: “I want him to get that job.” The Alabama boss isn’t just hyping Deion for fun; he’s speaking from respect. “Deion’s teams have always been well-coached.”
If Deion Sanders somehow takes the Cowboys job, we would potentially see Warren Sapp following him to Dallas. Deion, a former Cowboys superstar and Super Bowl champ has taken college football by storm at Colorado. But Jerry loves a crazy spectacle, and bringing Prime to Big D would be the ultimate flex. Shuster said it best: “Deion is the Pied Piper of football right now.” When Deion moves, people follow. It’s that simple.
Let’s talk about Sapp for real quick, the Hall of Fame D-lineman who’s already working as a graduate assistant under Sanders in Boulder. “These young men adore [Warren Sapp],” Sanders said during his docuseries. And why wouldn’t they? The man’s got a gold jacket, a Super Bowl ring, and a swagger that commands respect.
If Deion makes the jump to Dallas (big if, let’s not get ahead of ourselves), Sapp would likely tag along. His defensive expertise and fiery personality could be the spark Dallas needs to revitalize their defense. Plus, Sapp’s energy is contagious. Cowboys fans might need to buckle up because things could get loud—on and off the field.
Nick Saban’s bold approval of Deion Sanders
Just when you thought the Cowboys saga couldn’t get spicier, Nick Saban entered the chat. On The Pivot podcast, Saban made it clear: “I want him to get that job…I have a tremendous amount of respect for Deion Sanders. First, he’s a great person, and he’s done a great job of marketing the program to create a lot of national interest.” Saban said. And you know what? He’s not wrong.
Sanders turned Jackson State into a powerhouse and has already made waves at Colorado. Saban knows championship pedigree, and he sees it in Deion. But here’s the twist: Saban also praised the potential for Sanders to bring a winning culture to Dallas. Combine that with Jerry Jones’ penchant for drama, and this could be a low-key match made in football heaven—or chaos central.
Jerry Jones isn’t afraid of making waves, but hiring Deion would be his biggest bet yet. Let’s be real—Dallas doesn’t just need a coach; they need a culture shift. People in that locker room would literally follow Sanders to hell. And with Sapp in the mix, the locker room dynamic would be unlike anything we’ve seen before. Look, Deion Sanders made it pretty clear that the NFL gig is not on his wishlist unless coaching his sons.
