Like, okay, at what point do you realize, like, wow, he's eligible to talk to teams Tuesday at midnight, and there's been zero negotiating. Like, we're going to wait until midnight on Tuesday before you realize he's not going to be back as the Dallas Cowboys coach or what? And I just think it went in that direction, and
to the point where both sides knew that was the way it was going to go, and then they memorialized it and made it official.
Right. Yes, yes, but here's the thing. I think sometimes you're trying to explain actions that aren't so easily explained with certain people. And also, they knew that it wasn't like they were denying him the right to go take the bear's job, right? in-person interviews can't even occur until after the divisional playoff round. The Bears have been all over the map.
And if Mike McCarthy is going to talk to the Bears, he's going to be able to do it next week, whether it is then or now. I almost feel like it's like, again, to use that dating analogy, you know, okay, the girl wants you to propose. You're not proposing. Well, can I go out with... No, you can't. But now a week later, you can. It applies there too. And so I just think that in the end, ultimately...
That's what they decided to do. Each side went its own way. And when they said no, you didn't know whether that meant that they were going to try to get something done or whether they were just kind of being Dallas. And that's what they were doing, being Dallas.
Of course. Everybody is, right? And I think that... Again, we're going to hear other names come up. But I think Kellen Moore is a logical name because he fits there, knows how it works, can do the job on Jerry's terms, wouldn't cost what it would cost to hire Mike Vrabel. It fits in so many ways. But then you also have the allure of a guy like Deion Sanders. And...
It's not like Jerry, I don't think, has to interview Dion. He knows Dion and Dion knows him, although you'd want to hear his ideas for the program and what he would be thinking going forward. And so, look, I think Jerry changes mind a couple of times on McCarthy going along this. And I think it's possible, probably likely, that...
he, like other teams, you go through this process and you think, you know what? I think I kind of like this guy. And then you talk to this guy, you're like, well, I like that guy. And then this guy makes up ground. So it's hard to forecast exactly how it's going to come out. I would just say like, Helen Moore, square and contention.
Deion Sanders, if that's the way Jerry wants to go, square and contention. Could we get a guy like Leslie Frazier or Jason Witten. Yes, it's possible. But I think that Kellen Moore is the logical name. And Deion Sanders is the really fun, intriguing name.
Well, but no. But the splash hire may be the logical hire here. Yeah. Yeah. The logical hire here. Dion has got something of the Midas touch. He's incredible around people. I think he'd be great. I really do. And in fact, again, I said this on Get Up This Morning, but I go back to this call that I got in October of 2023. GM calls me up and he's like, hey- Write this down.
The next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys is going to be Deion Sanders. I'm like, really? He's like, take it to the bank. I'm like, okay. Why do you say? Jerry loves him. He loves Jerry. It's going to happen. Will it happen? We're all waiting to see. It'd be unbelievable for everybody. Be great for everybody. The Cowboys would be great for Deion, be great for shows like yours and this.
Yeah, big time.
I don't view that as a viable option right now. That doesn't mean that at a later date that that couldn't happen, but... First of all, Dak Prescott's got a no trade clause in his contract. He's the highest paid player in football. They just paid him. Like, it's not practical to move off Dak. And I don't think they're thinking of moving. They want Dak to be there.
And by the way, like, are the Titans who have the number one pick where you... potentially would have to be to take Shador. Are they going to go trade that pick for Dak, the highest? I don't know about that. To me, that's more fantasy football. I know Deion has talked about the fact that he'd want to be with his son. Well, okay, but...
That would be ideal, but it's not practical right now, unless the Titans wanted to do something. So I think it's more along the lines of he's got great respect and affection for Jerry Jones, and it's the Dallas Cowboys. And I don't know if he still has his house. I still think he does. He's had a house in that area.
It was the franchise. I mean, it's a no-brainer. So that's one that I think could – get him to change his mind.
I would just say this, that there's a lot of Ben Johnson Raiders talk, right? Mm-hmm. A lot of conversation about that, right? And that may happen. It could. But I don't think the Jaguars should be dismissed. And I don't think the Chicago Bears should be dismissed.
I really believe that all of them have something of an equal opportunity. I don't believe there's one ahead of the other. And I think there are three potential options. And we're going to see how that goes.
I think when you're going through one of these job searches, it becomes obvious to you and apparent to you over time who wants you most. And I don't mean in the form of money. You guys have been through this yourselves in your life. Just think back to people who have wanted you and how that became evident to you. And I think that Ben Johnson is going to be in a situation here where I believe he's
The landing spot will make itself apparent and evident to him over time through the conversations that either he or his agent have with that particular team. There are drawbacks, questions with each one of those openings. He's going to have to get sufficient answers before he proceeds forward. There's not going to be a perfect spot, but there's going to be a good spot in the end.
