Our personal James Dator wrote about Sanders doubtlessly changing into the Cowboys coach final yr. Now it is perhaps taking place.
Sanders has risen meteorically since coming into the school ranks at Jackson State. Since changing into a school coach, he’s gone 40-18 at each Jackson State and Colorado. In that point, his son Shedeur Sanders rose to doubtlessly being the highest QB within the 2025 NFL Draft and DB/WR Travis Hunter successful the Heisman and likewise doubtlessly being a high decide come April. He additionally performed for the Cowboys from 1995-1999, so Jerry already is aware of how he seems to be within the star.
I’m going to be utterly trustworthy: I’m unsure how this can work out, however the content material alongside the best way could be OUTSTANDING. Think about if Sanders will get the job, and decides to commerce QB Dak Prescott with a view to draft his son after which work his method as much as drafting Hunter as nicely. Simply run again every little thing you probably did at Colorado, even right down to having each member of the Wu Tang Clan on the sideline at each recreation. At the least Cowboys video games could be enjoyable…for individuals not affiliated with the Cowboys.
Truthfully, Sanders being linked to the job is 1,000 instances higher than Jason Witten or Jason Garrett, so it’s a constructive step.
