Michael Irvin, the iconic Dallas Cowboys wide receiver, may have just delivered a main event message moments before the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
In a pregame interview alongside Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, the legendary point guard dropped a bombshell, hinting at a possible future as the team’s Hall of Fame head coach and current Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders.

Irvin has long admired Sanders and has expressed admiration for the Hall of Famer’s coaching abilities, and believes he could bring a fresh perspective and winning mentality to the Cowboys.
With the team’s recent struggles and current head coach Mike McCarthy in the hot seat, Irvin sees Sanders as a potential catalyst for change.
The potential of a Sanders-led Cowboys team will generate significant buzz among fans and analysts. Sanders’ charisma, innovative coaching style and ability to connect with players could be a game-changer for the franchise.
