Deion Sanders Unlikely to Join Dallas Cowboys Due to Control Issues
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is reportedly interested in hiring Deion Sanders as head coach. However, ESPN's Louis Riddick suggests that Jones would need to relinquish his traditionally hands-on role, which seems improbable.

This dynamic makes Sanders's move to the Cowboys unlikely unless significant changes occur.
