As the Dallas Cowboys' coaching search continues, all eyes are on Cowboys legend (and current Colorado coach) Deion Sanders, with plenty of former Dallas stars weighing in on his candidacy. Sanders's former Cowboys teammate Troy Aikman cautions that the job in Dallas comes with challenges that other franchises don't face, but he adds that he would never rule out Sanders's ability to succeed.
“Well, I wouldn’t bet against him. I absolutely would never bet against Deion," Aikman told The Dallas Morning News. "I’ve just seen it too many times. ... He’s proven that he’s earned the opportunity. So if he lands the job in Dallas, if that ultimately is what happens, or if he goes somewhere else within the NFL or even in the college ranks, I mean, he’s earned that opportunity."
