Is Deion Sanders Stealing the Spotlight from Kellen Moore's NFL Coaching Dreams?

There has been much talk recently about Deion Sanders potentially becoming an NFL head coach. With his larger-than-life personality, Hall of Fame status, and ability to turn programs around, "Coach Prime" has become one of the most captivating figures in football... again. While Sanders dominates the conversation, what does it mean for Boise State legend and current Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore? Could Sanders's star power eclipse Moore's chances of landing an NFL head coaching job?

Will Deion Sanders Be The Next Head Coach For Dallas?

Coach Prime is more than flash. Even though Jerry Jones would love to see even more attention focused on the Dallas Cowboys, Sanders's work at Jackson State and now with the University of Colorado proves he's also a great coach. His energy has turned programs into headline-making machines, and his cultural relevance seems tailor-made for today's NFL, where a coach isn't just a strategist but the face of a franchise.

But What About Kellen Moore? Does He Have A Chance This Year?

On the other hand, Kellen Moore represents a quieter, more traditional rise through the coaching ranks. Moore spent eight years with the Cowboys organization, first as a backup quarterback and later as offensive coordinator from 2019 to 2022. Under his leadership, the Cowboys’ offense thrived, ranking No. 1 in total offense in 2019 and 2021 and producing a league-best 31.2 points per game in the 2021 season. Moore’s brilliance made him a key coach of Dallas’ success.

Moore is focused on the Eagles’ playoff run. He recently addressed speculation about returning to Dallas as head coach, emphasizing his commitment to Philadelphia. Despite his dedication, the noise around the “Kellen Moore Cowboys head coach speculation” persists.

Do you think NFL teams are looking for more than brains? I believe Jerry Jones will take anything that makes the Dallas Cowboys look larger than life. A great coach and a championship would help, but can they do that with Sanders? The sheer star power of "Deion Sanders, NFL head coach," may outshine "Kellen Moore's coaching potential" when owners are making their pick.
