The Dallas Cowboys have been advised to replace head coach Mike McCarthy with a star college football coach on the back of their embarrassing playoff exit.
The Cowboys became the first No. 2 seed to go out to a No. 7 seed since the playoffs went to a 14-team format in 2020, losing to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, and are likely to change coaches after yet another postseason disappointment.
With the likes of Bill Belichick and Jim Harbaugh available, though the latter isn’t so sure, it could be an interesting offseason for the Cowboys. But former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III has urged them to go after Deion Sanders.
“You need coach Prime. That’s right, Deion Sanders, Coach Prime. Coach Prime knows how to win in Dallas. He knows what it takes to have a championship mindset. He knows how to hold guys accountable. And he is a culture changer,” he said.
Sanders won a Super Bowl as a player with Dallas in 1996 and has made a name for himself as a coach in college, having turned things around both at Jackson State and Colorado.
“Look at what he did at Jackson State going 27-6,” RGIII continued. “He completely changed the culture there at that HBCU and he goes to Colorado and he changed the mindset there. And it’s not just that. Coach Prime is also going to bring you your quarterback of the future. Yeah, that’s right, Shedeur Sanders.”
“No coach will make Jerry Jones more money than Coach Prime. Deion Sanders will have the Dallas Cowboys high-stepping towards the Lombardi in no time.”

Sanders, though, has insisted that he doesn’t want to coach in the NFL, so it might be difficult to convince him to leave the college game anytime soon.
