The Dallas Cowboys’ search for their 10th head coach in franchise history may be coming to a conclusion in the coming days.

Thus far, Dallas has interviewed four candidates to replace Mike McCarthy, with Kellen Moore, Brian Schottenheimer, Robert Saleh, and Leslie Frazier each completing their meetings with the team over the last few days.

However, there is one notable omission from that list – Colorado head coach Deion Sanders. And if you ask legendary college football head coach Nick Saban, Sanders is the man for the job.

“Me and Deion… I want him to get that job,” Saban told The Pivot podcast in a recent appearance. “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.

“He’s always been successful, whether it was at Jackson State, high school, or now in Colorado. His teams have always been well coached.”

To his credit, Saban does have a point.

In just two years with Colorado, Sanders has turned the Buffaloes from one of the worst programs in the nation, into a fringe Big 12 title and College Football Playoff contender.

Before that, he also led Jackson State to a 27-6 record in three seasons, winning two SWAC conference titles in that time. He also was a two-time SWAC Coach of the Year and took home the SI Sportsman of the Year Award in 2023.

Of course, the NFL is a differnet animal than the college game whether it is as a player or a coach. Saban knows that as well as anyone.

That said, if someone with Saban’s credentials believes Sanders is ready for the NFL stage, particularly one as big as the Cowboys, we might want to listen.

Will the Miami Dolphins take a step back in 2025? Could they wind up trading wide receiver Tyreek Hill within the division?

Both things will happen, at least based on an ESPN story from Jeremy Fowler asking NFL executives, scouts and personnel executives for some fearless predictions for next season.

“This one is wild,” Fowler wrote, “but Hill’s displeasure in Miami is out there after his Week 18 comments, and the Patriots hope to be on the brink of contention soon enough under new coach Mike Vrabel.

“In-division trades are not as rare as they were a decade ago. It’s largely about which team offers the best value.”

— Trading Tyreek? Be Careful What You Wish For

Trading a wide receiver to the Patriots actually wouldn’t be a first for the Dolphins because they did it three years ago when they moved DeVante Parker and a fifth-round pick for a third-round selection. And Dolphins fans also probably remember the 2007 trade that sent recently fired wide receivers coach Wes Welker to the Patriots for second- and seventh-round picks, a move that helped New England produce a 16-0 regular season that very year.

Hill had an off year in 2024 as the Dolphins missed the playoffs for the first time in the three-year Mike McDaniel tenure. Hill caught 81 passes, as oppposed to 119 in 2023. He also finished with 959 yards receiving and six touchdowns. It is a far cry from the 1,799 yards he amassed the year before, to go with his 13 touchdowns. It was the first time Hill finished a season with less than 1,000 yards since 2019.

Many of Hill’s problems in Miami last season could be attributed to the fact Tua Tagovailoa missed 6 1/2 games due to a concussion and a hip injury. He did not find much success with Tyler Huntley, Skylar Thompson or Tim Boyle.

Hill said after the season finale at the New York Jets he wanted out of Miami. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has since backed off of that statement slightly, but Hill has not come out with any statements to the contrary.

Fowler said this might be the move for the Patriots to make if they cannot sign Tee Higgins in free agency. They obviously want to get quarterback Drake Maye some flashy toys. Fowler thinks the Patriots might dangle a package including a day-two pick to the Dolphins in exchange for Hill.

The NFL personnel that Fowler contacted also projected the Dolphins would join the Minnesota Vikings in taking a step back in 2025.

“Another team on the radar here is Miami, which has shown promise and narrowly missed the playoffs, but is largely stuck in the middle,” Fowler wrote.
