Former Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin was at it again Sunday night following the Cowboys losing to the Packers.
The Packers jumped out to a 27-0 lead on their way to an easy 48-32 win over the shocked Cowboys, who were the NFC #2 seed.
Following the game, Griffin took to X (Twitter) to declare the Cowboys should make a coaching change. “The bottom line is I hate calling for coaches’ jobs. This is not what I do,” proclaimed the self-appointed guru.
“It’s gotta be the coach. You guys have had three consecutive 12-win seasons and nothing to show for it…”
Griffin then proceeded to mention how some have suggested the Cowboys hire Bill Belichick. Griffin then countered, “But I know who you need. You need Coach Prime. That’s right, Deion Sanders, Coach Prime.”
Griffin has made one outrageous statement after another, dating back to his playing days with Washington.
During his terrible downfall in 2013, he went to the former owner, which was quite divisive; the team fell apart, and the coaching staff was fired in favor of the owner supporting Griffin, who was only managing to prove he could not play in the pocket as an NFL quarterback.
Griffin now declaring the Cowboys need to hire Deion Sanders is pure foolishness. Or perhaps Griffin is figuring out that guys like Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith have made a lot of money and their careers out of making outlandish comments to a culture that increasingly is shallow and reads and thinks less.
Dallas was home and a -7.5-point favorite. In addition, no No. 7 seed had defeated a No. 2 seed since the NFL expanded in the 2020 season to 7 teams qualifying for the playoffs in each conference.
Sanders took the job at Colorado, and after a quick 3-0 start against three teams that all finished with losing records in 2023, the Buffaloes then finished the season 4-8.
Surely, Griffin is not serious, is he?
The more likely scenario is Griffin is again looking for attention. It is, after all, the thing he seeks most.
