RGIII Cowboys Plan: Fire Mike McCarthy, Fire Dak Prescott—Recruit Shedeur Sanders and Deion!? Welcome to “The Promised Land,” Coach Prime!
Cowboys of Dallas RGIII Plan: Fire Mike McCarthy, Fire Dak Prescott—Recruit Shedeur Sanders and Deion!? Welcome to “The Promised Land,” Coach Prime!
With a 48-32 loss to the Green Bay Packers at AT&T Stadium on Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys saw the most spectacular collapse of their season.
After finishing 12-5 in the regular season for the third consecutive year, Dallas, who was ranked No. 2, fell behind the No. 7-seeded Packers 48-16 early in the fourth quarter.
What was the outcome?
For the Cowboys, there are more concerns than answers, particularly in regards to coach Mike McCarthy’s future. McCarthy is currently only 1-3 in the postseason after going 42-25 throughout the regular season.
Along with substitute names like Bill Belichick and… Deion Sanders!
Yes, the answer is straightforward, says ESPN commentator and former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III.
Griffin stated, via X, “I hate calling for coaches’ jobs, but the coach has to be the one.”
Griffin made references to the Cowboys’ 28-year skid of not winning the Super Bowl, much less the NFC Championship, and missing the conference finals in 12 consecutive postseason appearances—the longest streak in NFL history—as well as the playoff failure that followed successful regular seasons.
Griffin also brought up McCarthy’s 13-year career in Green Bay, raising concerns about how the seasoned coach let the same franchise essentially dismiss him while failing to prepare his squad for competition.
Who will be the next? Six-time Super Bowl winner and recently sacked New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is starting to come up in conversation.
“A lot of people are saying you should go get Bill Belichick as your next head coach, because we all know Mike McCarthy’s stuff was packed before this game was already over,” Griffin stated. “His workspace? void. He’s moved on.”
But Belichick to take over for McCarthy? No.
Griffin believes the Cowboys should instead go to Deion Sanders, the current head coach of the University of Colorado and an icon of the team.
Saying, “I know who you need,” Griffin said. “Coach Prime is necessary. Yes, it is Deion Sanders. In Dallas, Coach Prime has a winning formula. He is aware of the qualities of a champion mentality. He’s a cultural changer and understands how to keep his men accountable.”
Although he spurred a three-win improvement, 56-year-old Sanders was just 4-8 in his first season at Colorado after going 27-6 at Jackson State.
Hall of Famer Sanders, who played five seasons (1995–1999) with the Cowboys and was selected to four All-Pro teams, has repeatedly dismissed rumors that he might join the NFL, beginning with an exclusive interview with CowboysSI.com in which he claimed he was “too old-fashioned” to deal with today’s professional athletes.
Even still, analysts such as Griffin continue to voice their opinions; one possible explanation for this might be Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott’s lack of success in the postseason (he is currently 2-5 with Dallas).
Should Sanders is hired by the Cowboys, To replace Prescott, Griffin surmised that he would choose his son, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
Griffin thinks Prescott can win a Super Bowl, but Coach Prime’s quarterback of the future will eventually be Shedeur Sanders.
“Dak can take Shedeur under his wing and teach him the ropes until he’s ready to take over,” Griffin stated.
Naturally, though, all of this is meaningless unless Cowboys owner Jerry Jones makes a decision on McCarthy’s future.
Griffin observed that Jones’s greatest likes are money and recognition. Sanders will offer these attributes if McCarthy is fired and replaced, according to Griffin, and victories will follow.
