Experienced quarterback Cam Newton recently expressed appreciation for Deion Sanders, among whispers that he could potentially be the new coach for the Dallas Cowboys. This follows the recent parting of ways between the Cowboys and head coach Mike McCarthy, creating a vacancy in the coaching staff. Speculations have been mounting about the possibility of team owner Jerry Jones bringing Sanders on board as the head coach for the upcoming season.
In a recent talk, the former football great expressed his opinions about the probability of ‘Coach Prime’, as Sanders is known, joining the ranks of the Cowboys. Newton, referencing Sanders, observed, ‘I’m not certain how much more praise I can heap on Coach Prime, but he right now is the top coach in sports. There is no bigger coach than Deicon Sanders in present times.’
During the discussion, Newton mentioned acclaimed coaches such as Bill Belichick and Steve Kerr, while expressing uncertainty about whether they hold a higher popularity index than Sanders. Newton further expounded, ‘Prime embodies the spirit of sports, and I can see it clearly. Jerry Jones understands the signifcance of certain elements in the business world. It makes commercial sense to bring Deion Sanders on board.’
Beyond expressing his admiration for Sanders, Newton also deliberated on the strategic moves the Dallas Cowboys might take under the new coach’s stewardship. He mooted the idea that the Cowboys might possibly trade quarterback Dak Prescott for an upcoming star expected to be a key attraction in the forthcoming NFL draft.
After speculating on these potential strategies and their ramifications, Newton conveyed concern about the duration of Sanders’ coaching stint. He queried, ‘In the event that this all pans out, what is the timeline that Jerry Jones is considering for Deion Sanders?’ The ensuing discussion presented an idea that, realistically, Sanders might require a minimum of three years to engineer a successful turnaround for the team.
Despite these apprehensions, Newton still believed in the business acumen of Jones and his potential consideration for hiring Coach Prime. He reasoned that the decision could be advantageous from a commercial perspective.
