These days, most people know Troy Aikman as ESPN’s lead NFL color commentator, one half of a stellar duo with play-by-play person Joe Buck. But once upon a time, Aikman was a Dallas Cowboys legend, winning three Super Bowls with the franchise in the 1990s as their starting quarterback.

Football fans noticed the same concerning-looking thing about Troy Aikman during the Texans-Chiefs playoff game.

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.

The situation with the Dallas Cowboys without a head coach is becoming more complicated, and a legend like Troy Aikman weighed in on the matter with harsh words that could hit a nerve with the most loyal fans.
