"Unlike Jones, who has his three rings courtesy of Jimmy Johnson's blood, sweat, and tears. Also, unlike Jones, Aikman can correctly evaluate talent. From potential draft picks to free agents, Aikman is a superior judge of NFL-caliber talent than anyone currently sitting in an office at The Star. Aikman would not screw around with contract negotiations. He would get deals done in a timely manner, not waiting so long he lets the market reset numerous times."
"Rather, it was the Miami Dolphins. They asked Aikman to help them find their next general manager, who will then hire the team's next head coach. Meanwhile, back in Texas, the Cowboys' general manager just ended his 30th consecutive year as head of the front office that has failed to even make a conference championship game. Most GMs would have been canned long ago. Probably right after the third-straight 5-11 season in 2002."
The Miami Dolphins enlisted Hall of Famer Troy Aikman to assist in identifying their next general manager, who will then hire the next head coach. The Cowboys remain led by an owner-general manager who finished his 30th consecutive year running a front office that has not reached a conference championship game. Aikman is portrayed as bringing discipline, leadership, accurate talent evaluation, and decisive contract negotiation. Criticism centers on the current Cowboys leadership's poor draft choices, market mismanagement, and reliance on rings earned under a previous coach. Aikman is presented as capable of restoring the Cowboys to regular championship contention.
