He was met with resistance. “The University of Colorado would neither confirm or deny the information when I reached out. Deion Sanders didn’t respond when reached multiple times for comment.” Cowboys legend Michael Irvin, who won three Super Bowls in Dallas, has been banging the drum for his friend to take over the world’s most valuable sports team since November. “I spent Friday night with Jerry Jones. I spent Saturday with @DeionSanders,” he wrote on X. “I spent Sunday with the lord PRAYING for ???? ????? (GUEST WHAT) Now after what the @dallascowboys look like on Monday Night Football. I must work harder!!!!!” Irvin is a regular on Speak and issued a positive update for Cowboys fans desperate to have Coach Prime on board. “He [Jones] has to get something that says, ‘Okay, this is why I let Mike McCarthy go, I had a better plan in mind,” he said. “I thought, ‘This might get my plan back on track.’ And yes it did, a phone call was made. “I don’t know how any GM or AD or anybody who says, ‘We got to get over the hump and get our team to a better place,’ can not sit down and consider Deion Sanders with the track record he has laid out before you. “If you’re not considering him you’re not doing your job totally. Irvin and Sanders played together in the 1990sX @michaelirvin88 Sanders played CB for the Cowboys and entered the Hall of Fame “Jerry, when you think about what Deion did at the HBCU, what Colorado was before he got there and what it is now, who would not want that at their organization?” Irvin chatted to Sanders who confirmed that he had spoken to Jones, before begging him not to reveal any more details. “I know I got a big mouth,” the Cowboys great admitted before giving just a little more for fans. “That means good conversations are being had, not just a conversation, good conversations.” Jones is a master at making sure the Cowboys are headline news. And hiring the Hall of Famer, who played for the Cowboys from 1995 to 1999 and won Super Bowl XXX alongside Irvin, would be his masterpiece. Coach Prime would have no issue handling the spotlight, which could be a sticking point as Jones likes to be front and center. ESPN’s Louis Riddick doesn’t think Jones is able to share. “There’s the business and then there’s the profession,” he said. Look, from the business standpoint, this has a lot of people excited and I get it. I understand why. “These are two of the biggest personalities in American sports, in the history of American sports for obviously different reasons.
