Coach of the Cowboys as Parcells once said is playing in the Big Room. Being coach of the Cowboys is just as coveted as being coach/manager of the Yankees. Everything else is second banana!

Best case scenario, and I would love to see this happen, everyone Jerry reaches out to for an interview tells him to pound sand. Desperate to fill the position as deadlines approach, he extends an offer to anyone still left on the current staff, but they too tell him to stick it.

This would be quite entertaining.

Used to be anyone would want the job even if you had to be a puppet because...it's the Dallas Cowboys. Now, good coaches don't want it because...it's the Dallas Cowboys.
When was this? We had Landry and Johnson. Where was all the other good coaches lining up because it is the “Dallas Cowboys”

Aikman has pretty good insight into it since he has three angles to view it from: As a former QB for the team and Jerry, his ex-wife is the niece of Jerry so he spent a lot of family time with that side of the family, and as an announcer who talks to a lot of players on a lot of teams.

He knows what the problem is. He's not a hater. He loves the Cowboys but it frustrates him that Jerry squanders it all.

If the replacement is a true big dog, he won't take the job unless he has a final say on all personnel decisions. Accordingly we won't get a big dog. We will instead get a castrated rescue dog. Mike was a big dog when he got here. The leaving Mike, not so much. That said, most NFL folks know that Mike had a big anchor hanging around his neck the entire time he was here.

PS. Think about it. He didn't even get to pick his own Offensive Coordinator. Kellen Moore was shoved down his throat by Jerry.

Aikman has been a hater for a while now nothing new
How is this being a hater? People throw words like this around and it loses true meaning.

You do know you can be critical of your favorite team right?

What’s there to covet being the HC of the Cowboys? Dealing with JJ? Letting JJ makes all the coaching decisions? Being a head coach muppet for JJ?

Aikman is right.
