Jerry Jones’ Dallas Cowboys are in turmoil, sitting at a dismal 3-7 after suffering their fifth straight loss to the Houston Texans. Once a dominant force with a 12-5 record last season, the Cowboys now appear disjointed and uninspired. The absence of quarterback Dak Prescott, sidelined for the season due to a severe hamstring injury, has only deepened their struggles.
With fans and analysts growing increasingly frustrated, many are directing their ire at head coach Mike McCarthy, questioning whether he is the right man for the job. Despite the mounting pressure, Jones has ruled out any mid-season coaching changes.
Emmanuel Acho, however, has a bold suggestion for next season: bring Deion Sanders in as head coach. Speaking on The Facility, Acho outlined why Sanders could be the game-changer the Cowboys desperately need. According to him, Jerry Jones’ obsession with marketing and creating buzz has distracted from the team’s core mission—winning football games. “Jones is more focused on the business side of things because it puts money in his pocket,” Acho claimed. This divided attention, he argues, has contributed to the Cowboys’ lackluster performance.
Acho believes Sanders could solve this problem. Known as “Prime Time,” Sanders naturally attracts attention wherever he goes, eliminating the need for Jones to manufacture headlines. “With Deion Sanders, the buzz will generate itself. Jerry can stop worrying about creating artificial hype and finally focus on what matters—winning,” Acho said. This shift in focus, he argues, could reinvigorate the Cowboys and return them to their former glory.
Deion Sanders, currently the head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, has undeniably mastered the art of drawing attention. His charisma, combined with his coaching prowess, has already made him a headline magnet. For Jerry Jones, this would mean he could finally direct his energy toward building a championship-caliber team rather than constantly chasing the spotlight.
However, Sanders has made it clear he’s not eager to jump to the NFL anytime soon. When former Cowboys star Michael Irvin asked him directly about coaching the Cowboys, Sanders was firm: “I love it where I am!” His commitment to Colorado suggests that, for now, his NFL return remains unlikely. But for the Cowboys, the idea of Sanders leading the charge remains an enticing prospect—a potential spark for a team desperately in need of direction.
