[cowboybish]

Neither. I don’t think he would make a good player motivator. That would be Michael Irvin. Aikman would make an outstanding scout and personnel guy (potentially GM). Won’t be with this club though, unless Jerry dies or retires pretty soon.

When was the last time an NFL team hired a HC or OC with zeroNFL or College coaching experience?

Someone earlier recommended Kurt Warner, it’s like “…what….?” There’s a world of difference between watching games so you can speak on them for network entertainment, and you getting a lockerroom of grown men with families to accept being subservients to your ego.

Troy has a plumb job NOT working for Jerry. He is not gonna come here and bang his head against the wall having to overcome ownership. The problems here are much bigger than coaching.

 

[RomoIsGod]

Aikman has it too easy right now to even think of going into coaching. Romo does too.

 

[Blake]

These threads reek of desperation.

 

[sunalsorises]

Aikman has a whole team of people behind the scenes telling him what he needs to know so he sounds as good as he does. Not that he doesn’t know football but what you hear on TV is not a one for one with what would happen as a coach.

Aikman doesn't strike me as having the temperament to be a coach. Many of the great ones don't.
Besides, he has one of the best and most coveted jobs by sports athletes. Why would he give that up for the grind and headaches associated with coaching?

He'd be a great QB coach I think

I doubt it...he can do analysis as he is an analyst on TV. but being a head coach, and coordinator is a whole other game...there is a difference between those find problems and those who find solutions. different mind set. Aikman is a problem finder, he hasn't given any solutions.

I believe he'd be a better GM.

He championed David LaFleur over Tony Gonzalez as TE so I for one question his scout abilities

Better QB coach, but he’d take a big pay cut so broadcast booth better for him

Romo to me better broadcaster as he calls the plays before they happen. Don’t recall Troy doing much of that.

Bingo. Great player but as you state in your way “ an arm chair QB “

 

[big dog cowboy]

Aikman would be a terrific GM.

HC I'm not so sure of.

HC I'm not so sure of.

He'd ne like Einstein teaching a MS math class...to ne a good coach, you have to be a great teacher......it's not for everyone

 

[Wichitaleafs]

Love Aikman as a QB but his announcing is filled with scripted cliches. I swear he has a notebook full of them each game with references to each moment he just refers to.

It’s pretty amazing fans don’t understand this. Go look at Payton’s and McVay’s long list of coaching experience in lower positions prior to their first OC job. Warner or Aikman in a consultancy position might be ok, but I would question it here in Dallas because if the convoluted organizational dynamics created by Jerry.

I din’t remember, did Bart Starr have coaching experience when GB made him HC?

 

[Risen Star]

Nobody can answer this question. No way of knowing what kind of coach he'd be.

 

[kevm3]

No thanks. How about we get an actual HC with proven experience or even take a flight on a top notch college coach? We've been the developmental league for HC's long enough.

I believe we would succeed as a GM. He could focus on putting the right pieces together and he understands what it takes. As for coaching, I don’t think he’s interested in dealing with players, personalities, etc. I think he has a short fuse.
