He was his rival. He was his teammate. Now, Michael Irvin is a supporter of Deion Sanders when it comes to the teams he played with.
On Friday night, Irvin proposed that Sanders be the next coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
Irvin didn’t say so directly. But his message about Colorado’s second-year coach was unmistakable.
Irvin said this while sitting next to Jerry Jones during an interview for the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight in Dallas. Having the ability to get here without going through the regular route. You honor him. I respect him the same way I respect my great man, Deion Sanders, who didn’t take the canonical path. Who will Jerry hear about later? That’s another thing we’re talking about. ”
Jerry deftly changed the subject. But the cat came out of the bag.
Irvin wants Dion to coach the Cowboys. Jones’ football team could do much worse. Frankly, based on his team’s performance in 2024, that’s the case now.
