Troy Aikman, with his experience and leadership, would be the perfect candidate to coach the Cowboys. He understands the pressure and expectations that come with being a Dallas Cowboy.

His ability to lead and hold others accountable is crucial in the NFL.

Aikman’s traits mirror those of great leaders like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and coaches like Bill Belichick.

Having someone with his knowledge, fire, and experience could be exactly what the Cowboys need to finally get back to the Super Bowl.
