The Dallas Cowboys suffered arguably their most disappointing loss in franchise history on Sunday.
No one saw that debacle coming – not even the most delusional Packer fan could have ever predicted what we witnessed.
Heads clearly need to roll in Dallas, and it looks like head coach Mike McCarthy’s may be one of them … At this point, it would be a major surprise if he survives.
While most people assume owner Jerry Jones will send an all-out blitz to snag Bill Belichick, former NFL quarterback turned ESPN analyst, Robert Griffin III, has a different name in mind.
RGIII thinks that former Cowboys legend Deion Sanders would be a perfect replacement for McCarthy.

“You need coach Prime. That’s right, Deion Sanders, Coach Prime … Coach Prime knows how to win in Dallas. He knows what it takes to have a championship mindset. He knows how to hold guys accountable. And he is a culture changer,” Griffin said.

Sanders is obviously the head coach at the University of Colorado.
His first season with the Buffaloes was quite a roller-coaster ride and ended up being filled with much more lows than highs.
Saw that a ESPN talking head says the cowboys need to hire deion Sanders as coach. Guaranteed bad decision as beyond this proven himself to be grossly overrated. When he faced real coaches he got his butt kicked. Jerry Jones would fire him after 10 games

Regardless, RGIII is a believer in Coach Prime and think she’d be a perfect fit in Dallas.
“Look at what he did at Jackson State going 27-6. He completely changed the culture there at that HBCU, and he goes to Colorado and he changed the mindset there,” he said.
“And it’s not just that. Coach Prime is also going to bring you your quarterback of the future. Yeah, that’s right, Shedeur Sanders.”
“No coach will make Jerry Jones more money than Coach Prime. Deion Sanders will have the Dallas Cowboys high-stepping towards the Lombardi in no time,” he added.
I believe the Dallas Cowboys should fire Mike McCarthy, but they should NOT hire Deion Sanders. Deion is a terrible coach and is all hype and flash, NOT quality and results.

Despite the endorsement from RGIII, Sanders has previously stated that he has no interest in coaching at the NFL level.
He hinted that the NFL is filled with too many divas who can’t take hard coaching and he wouldn’t be able to handle that.

What are your thoughts on Griffin’s suggestion?
Should Jerry Jones consider going after Sanders?
Do you think Deion could be an elite NFL coach?
Or would Jones and the Cowboys be much better off going after Belichick???
