Aikman’s solution

-

It’s so bad in Dallas that former Cowboys’ quarterbac­k Troy Aikman has seen enough. He wants the team to start over — from top to bottom.

While speaking on KTCK-AM, The Ticket on Tuesday morning, Aikman called for the Cowboys to make changes while somewhat standing up for Coach Jason Garrett at the same time.

“Go through the list and this team, over a long period of time, has been what it’s been,” Aikman said. “It hasn’t always mattered who the head coach has been. So to me, if you’re asking me, I’d say there has to be a complete overhaul of the entire organizati­on. You can’t just can’t simply replace head coaches and say, ‘Now it’s going to be better.’ No, it’s been shown that it’s not better. And you have to address how everything is being done.

“And there’s been times where I’ve heard Jerry [Jones] say, ‘OK, look, we’re going to do it differentl­y. I’m going to do it differentl­y.’ But it’s the same.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterbac­k Troy Aikman didn’t mince words during a radio interview Tuesday, saying a “complete overhaul of the entire organizati­on” is necessary. Nothing changes. And that to me is the bigger issue, beyond, ‘Yes, coaching’s important, personnel, all those things are important, but how are you going about evaluating? How are you going about running the organizati­on?”
