Troy Aikman discusses Bill Belichick as Cowboys coach if Mike McCarthy is fired

Following the Dallas Cowboys’ disappointing wild-card exit on Sunday, questions about Mike McCarthy’s

employment future are persistent.

After three seasons as the Cowboys’ coach, McCarthy has led the team to 36-15 regular season and 1-3 postseason results.

Hall of Fame Dallas quarterback Troy Aikman was asked about McCarthy’s employment situation while he appeared on the Stephen A.

Smith Show. McCarthy is the coach of six Super Bowl victories.

“I understand the Bill Belichick argument, and if there were a change it would seem like that’s the one that makes the most

sense,” Aikman said.

“I’ve heard some say, ‘Well could Jerry (Jones) work with Bill?’ My answer to that is he worked with Bill Parcells; he gave up

a little bit, but I don’t think Jerry gave up as much as a lot of people would suggest.

“And I don’t know that he’d have to give up anything now because Bill Belichick is interested in two things:

One he wants to set the (all-time wins by a head coach) record, and then two he wants to win a Super Bowl without Tom Brady as his quarterback.

And in Dallas, he’d have the opportunity to do both of those things. It’s a team that’s built and ready to go all the way.”

Belichick parted ways with New England after 24 seasons. The only team he’s interviewed with so far is Atlanta.

On his show with Aikman, Stephen A. Smith acknowledged that it’s not necessarily McCarthy’s performance that will get him fired.

“When Jason Garrett was fired, the logic or the rationale behind it was essentially what (Smith) just laid out,” Aikman said.

“There’s an opportunity to bring in a guy like Mike McCarthy who had won a Super Bowl, had won a lot of games there in Green Bay.

And so you bring in a coach with that kind of pedigree that can help get you over the top.”

Any prediction regarding the matter is conjecture, as there are no reports suggesting a decision has been taken regarding McCarthy.

“Will something be altered? Personally, I don’t think that will occur,” Aikman remarked.

And Jerry’s age of eighty-one is a contributing factor in the solution. Does he wish to experience again another regimen, new

coaches, and all the associated costs?

I believe that many people may have the wrong idea about how easy or straightforward it is.
