Troy Aikman offered insights on Brian Schottenheimer's new role as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, amid a crucial transition period. He acknowledged Schottenheimer's extensive experience in the NFL, while also highlighting the unique challenges of coaching the Cowboys, suggesting readiness can be deceptive. Aikman defended the hiring process after Mike McCarthy's departure, responding to concerns over candidate selections. He believes criticisms of the process may overlook the complexities involved, and expresses hope for Schottenheimer's leadership moving forward in this critical offseason for the team.
I don't know if you ever are ready. I hear it's one of those jobs where you think you're ready. But until you get in that seat and really understand everything that goes into it, you're not quite prepared.
I think that's probably why the reaction from the fans has been what it's been. When you're talking about not having had an official interview with arguably the greatest coach of all time (Bill Belichick) and the hottest coach in this hiring cycle in Ben Johnson.
I think it's probably unfair to a lot of people. It's easy on the outside to try and make conclusions, but we don't know how much Jerry [Jones] looked into what he wanted to do.
