Deion Sanders to Dallas Cowboys? Jerry Jones willing to make Prime Time splash

Jerry Jones loves to make headlines, and there is no bigger way to take the NFL world by storm than by handing the keys to America's Team to Coach Prime Deion Sanders.

Dallas Cowboys Nation, buckle up, because we are about to get a show. Everyone knew that Jerry Jones would turn the head coaching search into a circus after deciding to let Mike McCarthy walk, and he has wasted no time.

Just hours after allowing McCarthy to seek out less chaotic opportunities, reports surfaced that Jerry Jones has reached out to Colorado football coach Deion Sanders.

Yes, the one and only Coach Prime.

Deion has always said he's not hard to find, and Jerry wasted no time digging up his phone number to give him a ring. According to the reports, Coach Prime is considered a "top candidate" for the job and the interest is legitimate.

If there is one thing Jerry Jones cares about, it is the Dallas Cowboys brand.

Unfortunately for Jerry, the Cowboys brand has taken a hit in recent years because of his mishandling and meddling when it comes to football operations. If there's one thing Deion is good at, it's being a salesman.

Coach Prime has made Jackson State a legitimate FCS brand and helped restore the brand and prestige of the Colorado football program.

Could he do the same as an NFL coach? With zero experience at the pro level, Coach Prime would need to surround himself with rockstar coordinators. But, because he brings an aura people want to be around, that wouldn't be an issue.

The Hall of Famer brings something else Jerry Jones covets: Attention, and don't downplay that as a factor.

As a player, "Neon Deion" was a two-time Super Bowl champion, NFL Defensive Player of the Year, and eight-time All-Pro. As a coach, he is a two-time SWAC champion and won at every level, compiling a 40-18 record.

Love him or hate him, Deion Sanders knows what it takes to win and that is something the Cowboys desperately need.
