Michael Irvin is not backing down. The Dallas Cowboys legend remains firm in his belief that the franchise made a critical mistake by not seriously considering Deion Sanders for their head coaching vacancy.

If Michael Irvin had been in charge of the coaching search for the Dallas Cowboys, it's safe to say that he would NOT have selected Brian Schottenheimer, who was hired as the team's new head coach on Friday night.

I’m not giving up my fight. You’re gonna ride by here again in another year or two if this thing don’t work out again, and my song will still be singing like a young Diana Ross: Deion! All the way.'' - Michael Irvin on the Cowboys not hiring coach Sanders.
