Stephen A. Smith has embraced needling the Dallas Cowboys and their fans as a recurring bit and the franchise has provided him ample opportunity to do so in recent years. The face of ESPN pushed quite hard for the Cowboys to hire Deion Sanders but Jerry Jones instead opted to go the very boring route with Brian Schottenheimer.

Stephen A. Smith was on ‘First Take,’ criticizing Jerry Jones’ hiring of Brian Schottenehimer as Dallas Cowboys head coach.

Stephen A. Smith goes off on Jerry Jones for staying in his comfort zone by hiring Brian Schottenheimer as the new head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

Deion Sanders is still the head coach at Colorado. He could be conceivably persuaded to coach the Dallas Cowboys, who need a new leader after parting with Mike McCarthy. That is, if the Cowboys want to do that.
