The “Landman” TV show, a hit TV show, featured a cameo from Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, in which he discussed the importance of keeping things in the family. Jones shared the story of his daughter Charlotte, who left Arkansas to study at Stanford, and how he couldn’t bear to be apart from her for an extended period. He decided to move to Palo Alto, California, to be closer to her, and found a new business opportunity, drilling for gas wells, which paid off and let him buy the Dallas Cowboys.
The incumbent coach of the Cowboys is Deion Sanders, also known as “Coach Prime,” who has a passion for coaching because it allows him to be close to his sons, Shedeur and Shilo. Shedeur is a quarterback who has played 47 games and is expected to be drafted first in the 2025 NFL draft. He has started 33-14 with Prime as his head coach, with only 7 losses in his first year at Colorado.
Jones, with his family ties to the Cowboys, understands the value of hiring his children in high-ranking positions. Similarly, Coach Prime has always prioritized his sons, Shedeur and Shilo, when it comes to coaching. The article highlights the strong bond between Coach Prime and his sons, with Shilo making an interception in the same game that Coach Prime threw the game-winning touchdown pass to Shedeur.
The article also touches on the potential of Coach Prime coaching in the NFL, citing parallel instances like the Arizona Cardinals hiring Kliff Kingsbury to work with quarterback Kyler Murray. However, Jones’s influence as the owner of the Cowboys would likely lead to retaining current quarterback Dak Prescott, despite his large contract, if Jones wants to bring Coach Prime on board. The article also notes the possibility of Shedeur, Shilo, and even Travis Hunter, the Heisman Trophy winner, joining the Cowboys, but only if Jones is willing to make concessions.
