Cornerback Deion Sanders helped the Dallas Cowboys win Super Bowl XXX. The Cowboys haven’t been to the NFL championship game since.

Could Sanders bring Dallas back to the Super Bowl in a new role – as Coach Prime?

Mike McCarthy’s contract as Cowboys coach expired Monday, and after five seasons at the helm with a 49-35 regular-season record and a 1-3 playoff record, he won’t be back in 2025.

Sanders is apparently also on team owner Jerry Jones’ list of coaching candidates. FOX Sports, CBS Sports and ESPN reported Monday that Jones and Sanders had discussed the job.

A member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Sanders has five seasons of collegiate head coaching experience. He led Jackson State to a 27-6 record in three seasons and posted a 13-12 record in his final two seasons at Colorado.

Sanders said this month that he was heading to the NFL solely for the opportunity to coach his sons Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders.

Shedeur Sanders is considered one of the best quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft. Shilo Sanders is considered an insignificant defensive back candidate.

The Cowboys’ first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft will be No. 12.
