Michael Irvin: Deion Sanders would ‘100%’ accept Dallas Cowboys job if they draft Shedeur Sanders

There has been plenty of speculation about Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders teaming up together in Dallas and leading the Cowboys.

Over the past week, Paul Finebaum, Adam Schefter, Stephen A. Smith, Dez Bryant and Louis Riddick have discussed the possibility of Deion Sanders landing the Cowboys head coaching job, where perhaps Dallas could draft Shedeur Sanders to once again play for his dad.

Cowboys legend Michael Irvin added fuel to the fire on Tuesday, sharing on The Herd with Colin Cowherd that he knows for a fact Deion Sanders would leave Colorado to team up with Shedeur Sanders in Dallas.

“I believe 100 percent. And I can tell you, good sources told me that. Great sources have told me that,” Michael Irvin said. “That’s all I can say like that without violating anything else.”

Michael Irvin and Deion Sanders played together with the Cowboys from 1995-1999. It’s fair to say that they know each other well. The fact that the Cowboys signed Dak Prescott to a huge deal this past offseason obviously complicates matters, as does the fact that the Cowboys may not draft high enough to land Shedeur Sanders.

Still, it’s fun to speculate about the possibility as the 2024 college football season starts to wind down.

Dez Bryant calls for Cowboys to ‘fire everyone,’ hire Deion Sanders

Speaking of Cowboys legends, Dez Bryant took to Twitter during the fourth quarter of the Cowboys’ Week 11 home game against the Houston Texans (6-4) Monday, and offered a solution for his former team to get out of their current funk.

Bryant called for team owner Jerry Jones to “fire everyone after this season,” and make a run at Deion Sanders to be the next head coach.

“I’m the @dallascowboys to the heart,” Bryant wrote. “If I’m the Cowboys, I’d fire everyone after this season. There’s young, hungry talent in the upcoming draft. Also, I’d consider @DeionSanders as the next head coach.”

Bryant’s frustrations echo that of many Cowboys fans, as the team has taken a few steps back across the board in 2024. With quarterback Dak Prescott out for the remainder of the season after undergoing hamstring surgery last Wednesday, the losses could continue to pile up. That’s trouble for head coach Mike McCarthy, who is out of a contract after this season.
