Michael Irvin Blasts Cowboys For Missing Out On Deion Sanders

The Dallas Cowboys haven’t made it to the NFC Championship Game, much less the Super Bowl, in 29 years. Reaching another one seems more elusive than ever since the team hired Brian Schottenheimer as head coach.

Cowboys icon Michael Irvin conveyed that view in his first public remarks on the subject since Schottenheimer was named the team’s new head coach yesterday night. Irvin bemoaned in a 19-minute video on his YouTube channel that the Cowboys’ lack of genuine postseason success has prevented many Cowboys supporters from appreciating the team’s heyday.

Michael Irvin talks about the Cowboys missing out on Deion Sanders

Irvin stated: “We have two NFC East teams in the NFC Championship game being played (Sunday). All eyes on them. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders, our enemies on all fronts. And they’re in a position that we haven’t held in 30 (expletive) years… We’re losing ground in the NFC. That’s 30 damn years. Forty years is a generation. It was time to bring somebody in here that could shake things up and grab this last leg of Cowboys Nation,”

Irvin went on to say that if the Chiefs win the upcoming AFC Championship Game, they seem ready to wrest the title of “America’s Team” away from them.

He went on to say: “A third of Cowboys Nation has never felt or lived the glory of a championship story. How the hell can they pass something down when they don’t even know about it? … Worse yet, that generation has seen total domination from a team named the Kansas City Chiefs. So not only are you losing football games over here and opportunities over here and divisions over here, you’re about to get our moniker snatched off our backs,” 

Irvin stated that he was advocating for the Cowboys to hire Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, who was a personal friend for decades and his teammate in Dallas for a number of years.

He added: “Jerry’s a shrewd businessman, and I’m shocked … this opportunity he did not see. I was pushing for Deion Sanders to be the next head coach. I still stand ten toes down on that push,” “It was time to bring someone in here that could shake things up.”

By hiring Schottenheimer, the Cowboys have really sprung a surprise.
