Discuss a star-studded record.
On the prime of the oddsboard is the largest title in faculty soccer — properly, arguably, in all of soccer — Deion Sanders.
Sanders is a Corridor of Fame cornerback who gained Tremendous Bowl XXX with the Cowboys just some brief many years in the past. He has spent the final two seasons as head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes, the place he went 4-8 in 2023 and 9-4 in 2024, after CU went 1-11 in 2022.
FOX Sports activities NFL reporter Ralph Vacchiano had this to say about Sanders’ candidacy for the highest-profile coaching job in American football:
“Although he does not at all times act prefer it along with his enterprise choices, Jones is a showman at coronary heart. He understands how you can get consideration and how you can promote a product. And who is aware of about these issues greater than ‘Coach Prime?’ However Sanders has confirmed he is extra than simply glitz and publicity. He is a very good coach, too. He turned Jackson State into an FCS energy, then turned Colorado right into a bowl group. He is a grasp recruiter too, which might assist at the least a bit of bit in free company.
“The dearth of NFL teaching expertise is irrelevant since he brings prompt credibility as a Corridor of Fame NFL participant. He’d command respect and get the Cowboys to play onerous. Prime Time would have them prepared for prime time when the playoffs come round, too.”
Second and third on the oddsboard are two coaches from division rivals: Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, respectively.
Washington had the seventh-best offense within the league throughout the common season, and Philly checked in at eighth. Nonetheless, Philadelphia’s Moore has shut ties to the Dallas group. He spent three seasons as a participant in Dallas (2015-17), after which served as quarterbacks coach for the franchise in 2018, earlier than rising to offensive coordinator from 2019-22.
Within the midst of a number of different notable names on the oddsboard, in fact, former Patriots coach Invoice Belichick makes an look, regardless of having just lately accepted the pinnacle teaching place at North Carolina.
Vacchiano had this to say of Belichick’s candidacy:
“Whereas Belichick maintains he is critical about his transfer to the faculty ranks, there is a purpose the buyout in his contract is so comparatively small ($10 million now, $1 million beginning in June). There have already been reviews that he is within the Raiders job, and earlier than he turned a Tar Heel, he referred to as a number of NFL groups to see in the event that they’d be occupied with him. Those that know him swear the Cowboys are one of many groups he is been eyeing for a number of years. And there is no doubt that Jones, who as soon as had Belichick’s outdated boss Invoice Parcells as his head coach, would have an interest, too.
“It has been some time since Jones made a giant, daring energy transfer like this, but when anybody’s going to get Belichick to desert North Carolina after a month, Jones is likely to be the more than likely proprietor to do it.”
