Jerry Jones has a deep love for nostalgia, and it could be steering the Dallas Cowboys toward a legendary reunion. Jones, known for his admiration of the Cowboys’ 1990s glory days, has a history of seeking ways to reconnect with that era, from legendary jersey numbers to media retellings of his acquisition of the team in 1989. Now, Bovada odds have put Deion Sanders, “Prime Time” himself, as the favorite for the Cowboys’ head coaching job in 2025.
Deion Sanders, a Hall of Fame cornerback who played 14 NFL seasons, including five with the Cowboys, is now one of college football’s most compelling head coaches. In his brief but impactful college coaching career, Sanders transformed Jackson State, guiding them to a 27-6 record before taking the reins at Colorado. There, he’s continued to make waves with his distinctive style, including coaching his son Shedeur Sanders, who stars as the team’s quarterback.

Hiring Sanders would undoubtedly make a splash and bring a new level of excitement to Dallas. For Jones, bringing “Prime Time” back to Texas might be the perfect way to recapture the excitement of past Cowboy glory. However, such a move could come with complications. Fans and media alike would likely speculate about a potential NFL debut for Shedeur Sanders if Deion were to become the Cowboys’ coach, which could lead to mixed responses.
Nevertheless, Sanders’ coaching prowess and larger-than-life persona have captivated football fans nationwide, making him a logical fit in Jones’ quest for a marquee hire.
