Dallas Cowboys legend offered a coaching trade idea that had the fans running wild on social media. However, is the idea as asinine as it may seem?

As the Dallas Cowboys work through their coaching search, a franchise legend weighed in. Jimmy Johnson addressed the looming decision for Jerry Jones, including how Dak Prescott impacts things. Johnson pointed out two “key figures” in the search to replace Mike McCarthy after he and the Cowboys parted ways this week.

The narratives surrounding the Dallas Cowboys' coaching search have devolved into a circus of late, distracting from the team's top priority this offseason of extending Micah Parsons.

"I would never have given Dak Prescott a new contract. I'd have let him play it out.'' - Cowboys icon Jimmy Johnson with a bit of revisionist history.

The Fox analyst and former Cowboys Super-Bowl winning coach proposed a radical concept to help galvanize the stagnant Dallas and Pittsburgh franchises.

We thought we'd take a look back at all the coaches that have led "America's Team" into competition since that very first year of action in 1960.

The curious part is that Brian has been an assistant coach since 1998, and while he had the tag of “Hot Assistant Coach” for a while, it faded. He’s served as an analyst, a quarterbacks coach, a tight ends coach, and an offensive coordinator since he started his career with the St. Louis Rams, in 1997.

The next Cowboys head coach will be the 10th in team history, and the ninth under Jerry Jones's employ. So, who wants this job? And who does Jerry want?

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman doesn't seem to believe any head coach can succeed with Jerry Jones.

An NFL insider says Dallas Cowboys fans shouldn't be surprised by the potential Brian Schottenheimer hire. There’s a lot to criticism surrounding the Dallas Cowboys head coaching search, particularly their failure to interview any of the top candidates.

Jerry Jones once famously said 500 coaches could have won Super Bowls with those early 1990s Dallas Cowboys teams. The owner and general manager has made six hires since winning two Super Bowls with Jimmy Johnson and one with Barry Switzer. None that have followed have been able to get the Cowboys past the divisional round of the playoffs.
