Has nothing to do with paying top dollar for coach. He doesn't want someone like Deion because he would take the spotlight off of him. He would also clash with Jerry over making team decisions and a lot of other things.
it has nothing to with any of that deion wanted to be in colorado
@@420247paul It's cool he wanted to stay, but Jerry wouldn't hire him anyway. He needs a puppet as a coach that doesn't take up the spotlight. Prime is no puppet, so it would never happen. It was all to get people to talk about the Cowboys.
@@420247paulthis is a hypothetical conversation. It's not about Deion's perspective at all really. It's about whether or not Jerry Jones would have even hired him anyway.
At this point it’s not even beating a horse to death with this subject.
Truth.
Rich...the man does not care about winning...it's just that simple
Jerry paid for Parcells to get the current stadium built. Plain and simple. Jerry has become cheap AF since then.
Cool insight
@@rstekcy7967 Cool reply. How is he wrong?
@@jaylucien669 kids just say stuff for the sake of it lol
😂😅wat an asinine comment
Prime isnt signing up to be a puppet and that is what Jerry wants. 🙄
The only reason Jerry interviewed (and leaked that he'd interviewed) Deion was so he could be in the news cycle when the Wildcard games should have been all the news.
Deion's success is due to his superior recruiting. You can't recruit the same way in the NFL as you can in college.
He did NOT have superior recruiting at Jackson State.
0:38
Jerry Jones literally said during the press conference “I wanted to be a coach” and if the money was like now “I would’ve just been a damn coach”
He doesn't want any coach that can think for themselves... He wasn't a "yes man" so he can control the team. This is why they are where they are.
Coach Prime has a way more swagger than Jeruh. So glad he stayed in CO. JJ thinks he doesn't need to invest in a good coach? He is even more of an idiot than I already thought.
Really?? as you spelled Jerry's Name Jeruh.. Is A Billionaire, And Coach Prime Just Maybe A Millionaire.. Jerry Win's Hands Down!!
I genuinely believe that you cannot win a super w/o a great coach. This is what you get with great coaching -
Bad Roster - minimum 6+ wins
Decent Roster - Wild Card / Playoffs
Good Roster - Playoff Wins
Great Roster - Super Bowl
Good to Great rosters can bounced in the first round.
I hope Deion stays in Colorado. He is more of a good talker than a coach which is what he is good at in college.
Deion has no interest in the NFL
I dont think Dion really wanted it
Rich folk are cheap. This man has a toy that is the highest valued US sports franchise. We are a captive audience watching this man play with his toy.
There are two things to add to this discussion: 1. In Colorado, Deion controls his roster through his use of the transfer portal. He would not control his roster in Dallas. 2. Don't think the one phone call between Jerry and Deion didn't profit Deion. He surely used it as leverage in his talks with Colorado. At the end of the day, Deion is better off in Colorado. And Jerry's debatable commitment to doing what it takes to win is status quo.
Jerry knew that he would not be able to boss Deion around like all the other puppet head coaches he hired with the exception of Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcels....
Dion coaching against his son would be pretty cool to see
NFL coaches work to have no distractions or controversy. Jerry Jones is a side show that causes distraction and at times controversy. The more he is involved the worse the team will be.
Who cares. Enough already. Everything that can be said has been said.
Deion wasn't ready to leave Colorado. Raiders take Shaduer and in 3 years when Pete Carroll leaves - Deion takes over..
That's ridiculous 😂😂
Please God, NO to that nonsense.
Makes sense: (1) Deion needs about 3 more years at CO to solidify their last season’s improvement ; (2) Deion is a showboat, but that’s been working for him for the past 40 years and fits in with both the Vegas and Raider vibe; (3) Tom Brady has been coaching Shedeur on the side for several years now; (4) The Raiders need a franchise QB NOW, and Shedeur is available NOW; (5) Pete Carroll loves shaping talented rookie QBs; (6)Vegas’ milder weather and domed stadium will suit Deion’s aging frame; and (7) unlike Jerry Jones, Mark Davis will pay Deion’s asking price.
4 Main areas one can map any important decision of the Cowboys. (Pick any one)
1. Should stroke Jerrys ego
2. Cheap
3. Brand value must go up
4. Poor GM
Imagine Prime walking that sideline on Thanksgiving Day, in a 90s Cowboys Starter pullover jacket. That right there would pay Prime's contract
It's just as well that Deion stayed in Colorado. That team has a much better chance at the playoffs next year than the Cowboys do.
You guys should have a 5 minute segment explaining why the Cowboys didn’t hire every single other coach that got hired this cycle. Then you guys should do another segment about the Cowboys just because.
Deion is going to get an extension for 10 million a year at CU and will stay there and have total control. He made the school an addition 160 million a year
Additionally, he loves where he lives. He is having fun, appreciated by the community and his kids attained a NCAA high 3.0 or better GPA. Folks can say what they want but Coach Prime loves Colorado and not just the University.
Let's just be honest the Cowboys are a dead end, no superbowl for another 30yrs
Why would Jones pay top dollar for a head coach that will only be his puppet?
You are exactly right, he does not even want to spend money on a GM …
The writing on the wall is that JJ has his eye on a coach he can't have yet and he was only willing to give McCarthy a few years to get there and McCarthy chose to walk now instead of face whatever situation was inevitably going to happen in 1-3 years. His talks with Deion are more about keeping the door open for Deion in a few years when/if he's ready. Brian Shottenheimer is the bridge guy in between McCarthy and the coach JJ wants. JJ would have preferred to keep McCarthy until he can get to Deion or whomever he has his eye on and hiring a low budget, short term guy is his contingency for McCarthy not being willing to play ball.
Jerry Jones wins! You're all talking about the Cowboys instead of any other football topic in the USA. They haven't been relevant for 30 years (sorry TJ) , why waste airtime? Airwaves full of Jerry Jones name is the only "treasure" that matters to Jones.
Jerry has 77763636525588735355363637277272882818277262652555143637373882982665355352552627738944993726262525525 years of GM experience
Is not the moneys is that media would be talking more about Deon than Jerry
It’s pretty simple jerry cares more about control and credit more than competency
Jerry cant control Deion. They would not last 6 games. Deion is not a coach either. He is just a mouth who always blames others.
wow you can turn a 1 win program that lost games by an average of 30 points into a Top 25 ranked program in 2 years without even knowing how to coach?
that's even more impressive if that's true
Jerry would not hire Sanders because he is a showboat and there is only one showboat allowed in Dallas and that is Jerry Jones!
Prime has been delivering on his "show" since his rookie season.
passing on Deion is the ONE smart thing Jerry has done the past 36 years, imho…
Honestly, Deion didn't even want that job. He used Jerry to get a bigger payday from Colorado and was a better move anyway.
Jerrah will never hire a black hc😅he got his puppetheimer
Jerruh should have just gotten a CPR dummy and dressed it in coaching gear.
There's only room for one ringmaster in that circus
Leadership is a skill. JJ doesn’t have it so he can’t identify it in other people either.
3:24 there’s nothing Deion Sanders loves more than himself other than money. He will leave Boulder, Colorado when it is a good business decision for him he could care less about those kids and that program once he’s gonna get paid.
4:19 see told ya even Rich knows Deion loves money over everything
He got the team as a toy vs wanting to win...period.
People keep bringing up Deion coaching his son in the NFL but to me that's a different situation. In college he basically had all the power and there was low expectations. The NFL is too much of a business. It would put everyone in whatever organization he went to with his son in really awkward situations. The only way it goes well is if everything goes well. If they don't at least go 9-8 or so it's gonna cause lots of issues from the Owner on down because someone is getting the finger of blame and if it's on Deion or his son it's basically at both of them.
You think Jerry passed on coach Prime?;??! How about the coach is smart enough to know that Jerry's World is hospice for coaching careers.
Deion will be the next HC of the NY Giants in 2026 .
Deion passed on Jones not Jones passing on deion let's get that straight
Do owners like Jerry, Woody Johnson, Mike Brown, Virginia McCaskey, etc, go on retreats where they exchange ideas on how to screw over the fans and still make tons of money?
Here's a question...if Deon would have been a great steal as coach why has no team went after him .
Everyone seems to forget Deion is vehemently against coaching pro players. He can't stand the mistakes veteran players make and would be cutting them during games. He would have to be paid stupid amounts of money to endure that stress.
He didn’t wanna pay Derrick Henry. He doesn’t want to pay for a top dollar head coach. Got a lot of money, tied up with Dak and some other players. Does anybody wonder if maybe Jerry isn’t as flush as he wants you to think?
Jerry was never interested in Deion. Truthfully speaking Deion is not a coach he just talks alot.
The only championships he won with Jimmy Johnson's players and discipline. Once the discipline left they lost.
Deon said he’s not leaving Colorado, why discuss it.
Prime was never a REAL OPTION
What is the fascination with Deion Sanders?
He’s a mid tier college coach, with a corrupt transfer portal system, with an overdeveloped ego.
And his son is an arrogant mid tier quarterback.
The Cowboys would still lose, they’d just lose with a lot more style
..."a lot more style".... Yeah, if you think looking like a pimp prancing up and down the sidelines with 10lbs. gold chains dangling around his neck is ....... "style"!!!
Media answering their own questions, Jerry Jones has reached old man yells at cloud phase.
Deion never wanted it.
They didn’t even talk
Exactly, it was all thru the media.
Why is Deion considered NFL HC capable?
Jones didn't hire Deion Sanders because he doesn't want an even bigger "clown show" than he already has! How embarrassing it would be to have Sanders prancing up and down the sidelines with 10lbs. of gold chains around his neck!!!
Is it embarrassing when your winning?
Jerry did not want to pay Deone and bc Deone would have been given the credit. Two strikes
Not hiring Hiring Deion Because Of Money?? Rich you really got me laughing hard!! $ 50 Million To Jerry Is Like $ 2 Bucks to you and I... Jerry's not hiring an unproven only 1 winning season in college Head Coach.. Na, Money was never in play in this.. You and all your buddies has this so wrong, Jerry Is Not Giving Up An Ounce Of Anything To Anyone Including Deion.
I would pay top dollar for the Jones' to go away.
It's both. Cheap not spending top dollar AND not sharing the spotlight or roster influence. Jerry won't do any of those things. He wants a yes man he can dump all his bad choices on who will say yes sir, may I have another?
Deion is a recruiter not a coach
Jerry is cheap on coaching but overpays players. Dak getting 90 million this upcoming season is ridiculous for a guy with 2 playoff wins in 9 seasons and can’t even outplay Brock Purdy. Make it make sense
He doesn't want black coach but had to pretend he does
Smiley Jones doesn't value the position of Head Coach. Case in point: he said 500 other coaches could've done what Jimmy Johnson did. He reiterated the 500 theme again recently. He's a total joke and incompetent moron of a GM!
jerry wants all the shine. full stop - end if story. "I would do anything known to man, to get to another super bowl!"
Dion is NOT a yes man. Or a puppet.
Because Deion would've passed on the Cowboys
It’s become glaringly obvious how cheap he is lately…..penny wise, pound foolish. You cannot argue he wants to win. He prioritizes the bottom line whenever the business and football conflict.
Jerry Jones is so out of touch these days😅
Can we quit with the lie that Jerry Jones is a good businesman? He got lucky twice that’s bout it. Anything he’s done as far as merch deals has just been leverage of owning the cowboys. He’s a loser at heart
Just another wealthy narcissist that thinks he is smarter than everybody...when everyone can clearly see...he is not.
Stop beating a dead horse...
You guys are chasing ghosts when there are far more interesting stories out there.
Talk about owners who runs their teams well...
Like the Bucs, Ravens, and Rams
Nothing to talk about RICH …SMH
a black coach for the Cowboys? forgetaboutit
I love that Jerry Jones is super cheap -- delusional Giants fan
Money has nothing to do with it. 2 wordS...EGO & SPOTLIGHT. I hate saying this cause my own mother is the same age, but Jerry isn't making normal adult decisions . Either Stephen is afraid to say it or hes just as dumb as Jerry. Again, it's not financial, it's about ego
He's not a top notch coach.
Deion was wise to use the possibility of this offer to wrangle concessions out of his current position.
How does this affect the Lakers' off-season alternatively LeBron's legacy
Rich & TJ still in GRIEF behind The Deon snub 😄 ... Hoping my TITANS can capitalize this availability. 🙏🥸🏈
