Our personal James Dator wrote about Sanders probably turning into the Cowboys coach final 12 months. Now it could be occurring.
Sanders has risen meteorically since getting into the school ranks at Jackson State. Since turning into a university coach, he’s gone 40-18 at each Jackson State and Colorado. In that point, his son Shedeur Sanders rose to probably being the highest QB within the 2025 NFL Draft and DB/WR Travis Hunter successful the Heisman and likewise probably being a prime choose come April. He additionally performed for the Cowboys from 1995-1999, so Jerry already is aware of how he appears to be like within the star.
I’m going to be utterly trustworthy: I’m undecided how this may work out, however the content material alongside the way in which could be OUTSTANDING. Think about if Sanders will get the job, and decides to commerce QB Dak Prescott so as to draft his son after which work his approach as much as drafting Hunter as properly. Simply run again all the pieces you probably did at Colorado, even all the way down to having each member of the Wu Tang Clan on the sideline at each sport. No less than Cowboys video games could be enjoyable…for individuals not affiliated with the Cowboys.
Actually, Sanders being linked to the job is 1,000 instances higher than Jason Witten or Jason Garrett, so it’s a constructive step.
