Until Deion Sanders gives Jerry Jones a straight-up "no" regarding the Dallas Cowboys head coaching vacancy, there are going to be salacious headlines and wild speculation about what Coach Prime could bring to the NFL. You'll even get some ridiculous trade ...

DALLAS (AP) — Mike McCarthy is not returning as coach of the Dallas Cowboys, who are going on three decades since their last Super Bowl title, owner Jerry Jones said in a statement Monday. Jones said the organization and McCarthy mutually agreed to part ways. The team’s search for its next coach begins immediately, he says.

Dallas needs a new football coach and owner Jerry Jones is at least kicking the tires on Deion Sanders. After parting ways with Mike McCarthy following five seasons without a playoff run, owner Jerry Jones spoke with Sanders about the coaching opening. Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports was first to report the news, calling Coach Prime a “top candidate.”
