| "It's something that I guess I've always somewhat entertained," Aikman said. "I've had a chance to talk with [Broncos general manager] John Elway in previous years. I've visited with [49ers general manager] John Lynch, and the decision that he made to take on that job in San Francisco, and I've said many, many times, I still believe there's another frontier for me -- maybe there's not -- but I believe that there is, and I think that might very well be it. It's something that I think would be very challenging. I'd be giving up a lot to leave the job that I have to take on a role like that. It's an all-consuming job and I certainly recognize that, but I think the challenge would make it worthwhile." |
He's only interested in 31 teams...
| Aikman was asked by 1310 The Ticket hosts if he could envision himself taking a player personnel role in the Cowboys' front office and quickly shot down the idea, saying it's unlikely Cowboys owner Jerry Jones brings anyone in in such a capacity, citing Jones' being "real stubborn and steadfast in that he's the one in charge." |
So, how badly do you want DG out of the GM chair?
Aikman as an NFL GM? - (
New Window )
It is as ridiculous as it sounds
Hey Chip. How about no?
Does he have the chops to handle a GM role? I don't know, but I'd have to believe he would be capable.
They should focus on Caserio.
Someone who has a deep background in the sport and has a job which is based on reporting on the sport and sees it every day likely would be just as qualified. And quite possibly more successful.
If he fits the bill, bring him on - even a former Cowboy.
Caserio as GM with final say, Abrams in his current role, and Perhaps Aikman as director of player personnel just to piss off Cowboy fans.
Bwahahahahaha. There's always one.

Thinking the same thing. The "old way" doesn't work anymore. Time to think outside the box.
(I'm 95% positive Aikman said this)
like 2-3 weeks ago, I'm watching a game and announcer says:
First you get your D-Line, then you get your QB.
Isn't that exactly what DG has been up to?
I’d take Peyton for sure though.

But the cowboys are an arch rivals and it's probably more in keeping to hire proven professional coaches and managers of long standing .
Sort of a trick question actually given context.
I don't think Romo is willing to put in the necessary hours. He has a great part time job that allows him ample time to play golf.
Sinking ships can only stay the course. The ice berg already hit. This ship is sunk.
However, and this is a HUGE however, I would definitely prefer Aikman over Gettleman. I'm sure he'd need a lot of help handling the financial aspects of the job but I have to think he'd be more adept at personnel decisions than Gettleman has proven to be.
They could not possibly do worse than DG. He's the biggest issue with this team right now. Far from the only issue, but easily the biggest.

I think John Mara gives him a run for his money in that regard, but they're 1 and 1a in any case.
I like DG as a GM. He was able to get Carolina to the Superbowl after having to tear it all down and I think he needs more time. Not sure I would fire him to promote a rookie at this point.
How's that working in Denver? I'll take anyone over Gettleman but no GM should be hired to help develop QBs. They should be hired because they can build a roster.

51-28-1, SB appearance, 3 NFC South champs, 4 playoff appearances as a GM with a competent coach.
Not sure why so many bbi jagaloons are so triggered by him.
Remember, the roster was largely garbage when he came in, the team culture was toxic, and he's been given a totally incompetent head coach.

The roster is still largely garbage, there's no indication the culture is improved or that it's had any impact, and he had a big part in hiring the incompetent head coach.
Is that you Max??????
