00:00This Dallas situation is going to play out so wrong, and it's going to upset me and it's

00:07going to make me mad.

00:08It's going to make me mad.

00:09It's coming back, isn't it?

00:10It'd be wonderful.

00:11I truly cannot believe this Deion stuff.

00:13You feel strongly about it, though, Donnie, so talk to me what you think about Deion Sanders,

00:18the current Colorado head coach, and his ties to the Dallas Cowboys job.

00:22The Dallas Cowboys, to me, if this makes sense, way more sizzle than absolute steak at this

00:27point, which means we are part of the show.

00:29We have an arena that we need to fill up, 90,000 people.

00:32We have to be Monday Night Football, Sunday Night Football, Thursday Night Football, and

00:35have a talented team enough to make the playoffs.

00:38Winning the Super Bowl since 1995 hasn't happened there, but for me, it just seems like the

00:42perfect Jerry fit, but also understanding this, Jerry doesn't have a lot of years left

00:46here to be, you know, owner at this point.

00:48He messed around a long time with yes coaches all the way around, but he likes the coach

00:53where been there, done that before in Dallas.

00:56They know that every single broadcast, including ESPN, the Sports Grid Network, CBS, NBC, whenever

01:02the talking NFL, it's going to lead with the Dallas Cowboys, whether they're good or bad,

01:06and that is great for business.

01:08This move makes way too much sense for me, Joe, to not have happened, and quite frankly,

01:12have happened already, because the minute Deion goes to Dallas, they own the cycle for

01:17months and months and months ahead, and he loves that.

01:20I couldn't agree more, and think about how we cover Colorado from the college perspective.

01:25In his first year, right, they were the talking points from week one when they were a four-win

01:30football team until what we saw this past year straight through the bowl game against

01:34BYU.

01:35So, again, I think it's a great fit for Dallas, and when we talk about Deion, you know, wanting

01:41to coach in the NFL with Shador and Shiloh, yeah, that's in a situation maybe like we

01:47brought up, Cleveland, Jacksonville, you know, you name it, Tampa, go through the list.

01:53Not Dallas.

01:54Dallas is a stand-alone where he would say, you know what, everything else is trumped

01:59by the fact that this is the Dallas Cowboys, this is America's team, and I could be the

02:04face of the organization, and on top of that, the hottest name in the NFL.

02:09He would be covered at such a huge rate.

02:13Rockstar level.

02:14Yeah.

02:15I mean, think about what he did to Boulder, Colorado, and now you're going to have the

02:18resources in Arlington to just, where Jerry's going to throw money to get people in.

02:23I mean, everything's going to be a circus.

02:25Yeah, I don't know.

02:26I feel like I'm living in a fairyland, quite frankly, when it comes to this, because I

02:30see it all so, so, so differently.

02:33The notion that all Jerry wants is the headlines.

02:35Nope.

02:36He tried to bring back McCarthy.

02:37So that's not true.

02:38That's flatly not true.

02:39You can't make that argument because he tried to bring back Mike McCarthy.

02:42That's one.

02:43The idea that, like, Jerry's crazy to work for.

02:46Nope.

02:47Jerry likes to do interviews.

02:48Jerry tried to bring back Mike McCarthy, kept Jason Garrett for way longer than anybody

02:53thought he would.

02:54Jerry ideally likes to hire someone and keep them around for a long time.

02:58But that's how that works, right?

03:01The idea that Deion would, there's a cap, and half of it already belongs to Dak Prescott's

03:07contract.

03:08So this isn't NIL.

03:10There isn't money that they get to throw around.

03:12He doesn't just get Travis Hunter or Shador Sanders or Tee Higgins or Jamar Chase or any

03:18of these guys.

03:19That's not how that works at all.

03:21Deion's specialty as a coach is what?

03:23Nobody knows.

03:24It's being Deion, right?

03:26That's the honor.

03:27You know I like Deion, right?

03:28I said this the other day on air.

03:29There's a reason he got me the Colorado jacket.

03:31I love it.

03:32I like Deion.

03:33Deion's a college guy.

03:34Why are we—

03:35But he's a motivator.

03:36He's a—

03:37Oh.

03:38So is Dan Campbell.

03:39Bring in—

03:40Oh, it's Perlman then again.

03:41I don't understand.

03:42What are we talking about here?

03:43But wasn't Dan Campbell viewed as the same way?

03:45I mean, not a lot of people thought Dan Campbell was going to be a great hire, and he put a

03:50lot of solid coordinators around him, just the way Deion surrounded himself in Boulder.

03:55Yeah.

03:56So Deion's first step, right, got Sean Lewis as the offensive coordinator.

03:59Everybody thought that was great.

04:00Fired him.

04:01Right?

04:02Then all of a sudden, Shurmur's the offensive coordinator.

04:04People weren't sure about that.

04:05And all in all, I don't know.

04:07He had a quarterback in the Big 12 that's going to go top five.

04:11There's no other quarterbacks in the Big 12 that are going to get drafted top five.

04:13That was great.

04:14He had the Heisman Trophy winner at Colorado.

04:17So all of these things don't really line up.

04:22It just doesn't.

04:23And Deion has said, I'll go to the NFL if I can coach Shador.

04:27Well, then what are we doing here?

04:29Is that Cal?

04:30It's a different playing field, though.

04:31It's not like I'm going to Green Bay or I'm going to, you know, the Jets job here.

04:34You talk about the marquee position in sports.

04:36It would be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

04:38The same way every single quarterback that comes through that last five years gets hundreds

04:42of millions of dollars post career because he was the Dallas Cowboys quarterback here.

04:46I just look at it and say, if there's one move Deion would make without his kids, it

04:49would be Dallas.

04:50And the fact that Deion didn't go, talk to Jerry, Colorado's my home, man.

04:56Colorado or Dallas, if he's offered that job tomorrow, he will be that head coach and he

05:00will own the cycle of every single sports programming for the next two months.
