Echoing the sentiments of Cowboys Nation, Troy Aikman is criticizing Jerry Jones for his handling of Mike McCarthy's exit and and diminishing of the franchise's stature.

“Monday Night Football” commentator and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman had some harsh opinions about the now-vacant Cowboys head-coaching position before Monday night’s wild-card game between the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Rams.

Signs seemed to point toward the Dallas Cowboys retaining Mike McCarthy as their head coach for 2025 after owner and general manager Jerry Jones profusely praised him after their Week 18 finale against the Washington Commanders.
