The Dallas Cowboys have a positive reputation for being one of the most iconic franchises. They have had the taste of gold in the past. However, the modern era has had a Super Bowl drought for many years. After Jimmy Johnson, the franchise has struggled for a suitable coach. But Skip Bayless once believed the Cowboys might become championship relevant after the arrival of the icon, Sean Payton.
Sean Payton had the news rumbling after announcing him stepping away from the New Orleans Saints. However, he did not declare retirement from the sidelines, so are chances of him hitting the sidelines again. Since his hiatus, multiple rumors have spread of him heading to various franchises. The Dallas Cowboys are long in the rumbles of having Payton on the team.
