Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn ImagesBefore he became one of the premier broadcasters in the NFL, Troy Aikman won Super Bowls as the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, snagging his third after the 1995 season. Unfortunately for Dallas, that remains the franchise’s last Super Bowl.It’s something that Aikman never imagined would be the case for the franchise after it achieved so much success under team owner Jerry Jones in the days of yesteryear.“I didn’t think it was the last one that I’d be a part of. I thought we would certainly win another one. I thought I would,” Aikman said in an interview with Dale Hansen.“It’s hard to fathom. It really is. Because we see it, we talk every year about parity, and we’ve seen teams go from last to first, and teams that have not been historically very good, they still make a run, they make it to a championship game or a Super Bowl, and yet for the Cowboys that hasn’t happened. It’s hard to put your finger on exactly why.”Aikman feels for the fans who haven’t seen their team host the Lombardi in three decades.“Cowboys fans deserve better,” he said. “I do know that. This is the Cowboys, the flagship franchise, and the fact that the Cowboys in 30 years have not made it to a championship game, let alone a Super Bowl, it’s hard to fathom.”“To me, you have to make changes in how you’re doing it, if for three decades you haven’t made an NFC Championship Game,” he added. “It’s just unacceptable.”Aikman feels that their previous success was because legendary coach Jimmy Johnson was calling the shots, while these days it’s Jones who is in charge.“He knows why we won with Jimmy Johnson, and I believe the reason we won is because every player in that locker room felt, and I think knew, that Jimmy was calling the shots, that Jimmy was in control of their destiny, so if you didn’t do what you were supposed to do by Jimmy’s standards, you were held accountable,” Aikman said. “He was a great evaluator of talent, he drafted those players, he built those teams, he was a tremendous general manager — I say general manager, he was a tremendous evaluator of talent and in many ways he was the de facto general manager. I think he was probably better in that role than he was even as a head coach, as good as he was there.”Jones hasn’t come close to matching Johnson’s success since taking over all of the shot-calling.
