So I asked, and Troy has now spoken:
Cowboys news: Troy Aikman will ‘never bet against’ Deion Sanders
Noteworthy headlines surrounding the Dallas Cowboys heading into the weekend.
www.bloggingtheboys.com
You know Deion Sanders very well. His name was the first to come up for this opening. Nobody’s sure if he’s a serious candidate, but with Jerry Jones and Deion, they will surprise you every once in a while. Do you think he would be a fit here?
Aikman: “Well, I wouldn’t bet against him. I absolutely would never bet against Deion. 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.
“I don’t know if I’d look at anyone and say it’s necessarily a great fit. I just think there’s a lot of hurdles. And so it may not be a great fit for anyone, but if Deion were to come on board, I think he’d be fantastic. I think you would relate exceptionally well to the locker room. It’s amazing that for someone who’s as far removed from having played the reverence that these current players have for his career and what he was as a player. It’s pretty remarkable, and it says a lot for him. So I think he’d be fantastic no matter where he is. And as you guys have heard me say, I’m a big fan, and I would never bet against him.”
Already a decade ago last Saturday.

This is updated this morning I believe. A little interesting in that Joe Brady is now considered the "favorite" even though there's been no mention of him publicly or any confirmation that we've even requested to interview him. Bobby Slowik is a similar boat.

When you go through what JJT says, you can see why guys like Irvin and Aikman and others (people who have spent time out there and attended practices) like what they see. Irvin has spent a ton of time with Deion there at Colorado. I copied and pasted the points. Some of these things have clearly been lacking in Dallas for a long, long time.
1.Deion is an old-school CEO coach, who gives his coordinators the authority to do what they want to do.
2.Deion is the ultimate culture-changer because his personality is strong and his self-confidence is immense
3.He surrounds himself with coaches and staff who are loyal to him. His inner circle leaks nothing - unless he wants it leaked. He had multiple surgeries and was near death, when he had two toes amputated a few years ago, and nothing leaked.
4. Deion is a stickler for punctuality. The team meeting starts what en he arrives and like former NFL coach Tom Coughlin he often arrives 5-10 minutes early. If you’re not seated when he arrives you’re late and kicked out of the meeting.
5. He’s detailed oriented and sees everything. Players wearing the wrong colored socks are kicked out of practice and told to change. He doesn’t allow ear rings or phones in the building
6.He doesn’t curse, but he’s confrontational
7.He lacks patience so he moves on quickly once he’s decided a coach can’t handle a job. That leads to staff turnover and pressure to produce
8.He has an affinity for players who chase greatness through their training and practice habits and he will teach them to maximize their potential
9.He prefers an offensive scheme that throws the ball, which is why he asked the late Mike Leach for OC recommendations at Jackson State
10.He’s an effective communicator because he’s straightforward
