the cowboys are the raiders of the nfc. would not surprise me if a older coach like the former seahawks coach ends up coaching. i just do not see a young coach coming to dallas and be able to coach with the jones telling him everything he has to do.

I do think it is coveted for non-football reasons. Parcells said it when he was hired... Dallas is "the big room." Very few people have a chance to play the "big room" in their lives, and when that opportunity becomes available, you jump. If you are successful there, you are ingrained in history.

That said, I fully understand what Aikman is saying. Prescott is a declining player with a 90 million dollar cap hit next year due to all the void money from his last contract. You can kick the can down the road on 40 mil of that, but it just makes you less and less competitive down the road. The team is not managed well and has hemorrhaged talent; the talent they are bringing in through the draft is not bad, but not enough to compensate for the losses. And there is the grim reaper constantly hanging over you, saying all sorts of nonsense all the time as soon as he sees a camera.

It would take a very particular type of person to thrive in that environment.

You can't say the job is coveted and while throwing in that "if" statement. Jerry being cheap is one of the reasons it isn't coveted, among other things.
Yes you can


Troy is implying that coaches wont coach here because of the environment Jerry has created. Thats wrong as theres a list of possible candidates.

There was already a report that Belichick was interested in the job and im sure many other names will pop up as interested as well

So a player who played here for 10 plus years shouldn't be listened too but a random reporter saying a coach ( who will likely never confirm its true they said it) might've came here in a hypothetical should hold more weight that it's really coveted. Got it lol

Yall have to stop with this nonsense. A player that played here word is not the end all be all. Go look at all the nonsensical things somebody like Dez has said about the Cowboys.

There is a report out right now that Deion is interested in the position

Does it matter. Jerry only hires people he feels comfortable with. I keep hearing all these big name assistants or coaches. Jerry is not giving up control. I think it’s Kellen because he gets along with Dak (Cowboys biggest investment) and the front office knows him. The last thing the Joneses want is a shakeup. You could hire Paper boy and business as usual.

but again, these reports that none of these coaches are actually confirming are the end all be all? come on man, i've seen a lot of your posts, you're smarter than this
