Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys failed in their attempt to win the Super Bowl during the 2024 season. Now, with nearly three decades without championships, major changes are on the horizon for the franchise.
Mike McCarthy will not continue as the teamâs head coach, and Jones must find the ideal person to lead a project that, on a promising note, already has three cornerstones in Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons.
Now, in a surprising statement, a Cowboys legend issued a warning to anyone looking to be part of the list of candidates for the coaching job. Despite the spotlight of that comes with âAmericaâs Teamâ, itâs not as appealing as it seems.
Who will be the new Cowboys head coach?
In recent days, Deion Sanders has emerged as the leading candidate to become the new head coach of the Cowboys.Although there are still other possibilities available, such as Robert Saleh, Ben Johnson, Kellen Moore, or Aaron Glenn, a Cowboys legend like Troy Aikman doesnât think most of them will accept any offer from Jerry Jones.
âI do think the Cowboys are obviously a high profile team. Whoever is head coach of that team is certainly going to draw a lot of attention, but, I think most football people that take over as a head coach, they want to do it on their terms. Thatâs hard to do. If you take a Dan Campbell for instances. Dan Campbell if he is with the Dallas Cowboys, itâs hard to imagine that he is. Itâs hard to imagine that a lot of these coaches might be.â

Additionally, Aikman expressed surprise at the current situation of the Cowboys because, by delaying Mike McCarthyâs dismissal, they missed the opportunity to interview high-caliber candidates. âIt suggests that thereâs not a real plan. The fact that they havenât had the opportunity to maybe interview a Ben Johnson or Aaron Glenn.â
