Deion Sanders identifies the main issue plaguing the Dallas Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys fans may have to wait a bit longer for a potential Coach Prime era, as Deion Sanders has made it clear that he has no intention of pursuing an NFL head coaching position. Despite the recent confirmation that Mike McCarthy will continue as the Cowboys‘ head coach for at least another year, speculation about potential successors often includes Sanders, a Hall of Fame cornerback.

In a recent podcast conversation with former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III, Sanders emphasized his lack of interest in coaching at the professional level. “I’m good. I would never coach pros,” Sanders stated firmly. His reasoning stems from the challenges of handling players who may not be fully committed, a sentiment he shared with Griffin, “You played with guys that were getting a handsome check that didn’t want to play. How am I going to handle that as a coach?”

Sanders expressed his love for the college game, where he currently coaches the Colorado Buffaloes. He highlighted the satisfaction he derives from influencing the minds and games of young men, shaping and molding them at the collegiate level. Sanders believes that he wouldn’t have the same impact at the professional level due to the different dynamics and challenges.

This declaration isn’t a surprise for those familiar with Sanders‘ previous statements on the matter. Despite ongoing speculation about a potential NFL coaching role, Sanders consistently reiterates his preference for coaching in college football.

Sanders dissected the issue with Dallas

As for the Dallas Cowboys, Sanders shared his perspective on the team’s repeated postseason shortcomings. Reflecting on their recent wild-card loss to the Green Bay Packers, Sanders pointed out that the Cowboys are falling short of the famous mantra, “big-time players making big-time plays in big-time games.” He emphasized the importance of players executing their roles for the team’s success.

While Sanders won’t be taking on an NFL coaching role anytime soon, he remains actively involved in shaping the future of the Colorado Buffaloes. Ahead of the 2024 season, Sanders has brought in reinforcements via the transfer portal, particularly focusing on strengthening the offensive line. This strategic move aims to address the struggles that led to his son, Sheduer Sanders, becoming the most-sacked quarterback in the FBS last season. Colorado is gearing up for its transition back to the Big 12 conference next season, with Sanders leading the way.
