Former NFL quarterback Matt Cassel and iHeartMedia radio host Bobby Bones both believe Pro Football Hall of Famer and current University of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders is the right fit for the Dallas Cowboys' head coaching job amid reports of discussions between the two sides.

Bones and Cassel addressed the speculation on the latest episode of their Lots to Say podcast this week, which included the popular radio host detailing his personal experience working alongside and developing a friendship with Sanders while auditioning for a television show, as well as being coached by him in the 2024 MLB All Star Celebrity Softball Game this past summer.

"I saw 'Eye of the Tiger' in that dude and I didn't get to see it when I was becoming friends with him," Bones said of being coached by Sanders. "I saw 'Eye of the Tiger' in that guy because it didn't matter, because when I knew him it was when he was coaching his kids' high school football team, it was before he went to Jackson State.

"Now they're rumoring him possibly as coach of the Cowboys. God, I hope he gets that job."

Sanders played on the Cowboys for five seasons of his Hall of Fame career, which included being a member of the franchise's last Super Bowl team. Cassel, who started seven games at quarterback and appeared in eight for Dallas during the 2015 season, said he believed Sanders would be the perfect fit to match the power struggle with team owner Jerry Jones.

"It'll be interesting because you look at one of the most storied franchises in all of NFL history and the dynamics of the power struggle there with Jerry Jones and how that all work," Cassel said. "But I think he clearly understands that, he played for Jerry Jones and I would think it would be fascinating if he went to the Cowboys because, let's be honest, they don't lack talent."

"He's one of those guys also that he'll put together a great staff," Cassel added. "He's got relationships with everybody and, what you said, with his personality and who he is as a person, if you've ever met him on a different level outside of what you just see in the public eye you love the guy and want to be with him and want to be on a staff and want to have success with him."

Bones and Cassel also discuss the New England Patriots' hiring of head coach Mike Vrabel and are joined by NFL Network Senior Insider Ian Rapoport to discuss several upcoming offseason headlines.
