Jerry Jones awkwardly reacted to Michael Irvin’s suggestion about who the Dallas Cowboys should bring in as their next head coach.

The Dallas Cowboys are in the midst of a miserable season (3-6), and it won’t get better with star quarterback Dak Prescott undergoing season-ending hamstring surgery. Jerry Jones is widely expected to part ways with head coach Mike McCarthy, whose contract expires after the season.

The Logan Paul-Mike Tyson boxing fight is taking place at the Cowboys’ home venue of AT&T Stadium. Cowboys legend and Pro Hall of Famer Michael Irvin appeared with Jones for a brief television segment, and the three-time Super Bowl champion made the most of his time on camera tonight.

During their short segment together, Irvin endorsed the idea of the Cowboys hiring Colorado Buffaloes HC Deion Sanders as their next coach. Irvin added that he would be in Jerry Jones’ “ear” about the idea, and the latter’s response was absolutely priceless:

For what it’s worth, Deion Sanders tried to pour cold water over the hot rumors, stating that he’s happy with where he is in Colorado.

Jerry Jones Didn’t Seem To Appreciate Michael Irvin’s Suggestion

Jones is a prideful man who simply doesn’t like being told what to do, as evidenced by his decision to serve as the Cowboys GM for three decades. Having Irvin tell him who he should hire to his face on live television? That oughta please the Cowboys fans who have grown tired of Jones’ handling of the franchise.
