Crayton: We always felt like if we’d have had Parcells with that core, we’d have won one.

I can see how he'd think that from an offensive perspective but the defense was a mess in 2006 with Zimmer trying to navigate coaching a 3-4.

Phillips made a big difference in terms of having a true 3-4 background, but unless they got rid of Zimmer in 2007 and added a legit 3-4 DC I don't think we'd have done much. Would've been a playoff team with how good the offense was but I don't think we'd have won a SB and we might've not even been as good as we were under Phillips in 2007 if Zimmer had still been DC.

Now Parcells as HC with someone like Phillips as DC? Yea we'd have at least made a SB.

But the fact remains that Parcells is the one who largely built that 2007 team and arguably the 2009 team, and the fact that our roster cratered around 2010-12ish kind of proves that.

It's not, I don't think that Parcells' positive impact on the organization and how it's currently run can be overstated. As underwhelming as the team has been, I think it might be worse if he hadn't been here.

But there's a contingency of people who want to retrospectively disparage McCarthy's tenure and that's just not reality. The reality is McCarthy did a good job here and had the best results any coach has had here in 30 years.

I think Aikman in some type of consulting role as far as addressing culture, player relations, upper level decisions with contracts involving stars, etc would have been good here. But I wouldn't want Aikman making roster or draft decisions, and I haven't seen any evidence that he should be making those decisions. I have no idea if he has that kind of leverage with Miami.

Aikman is a very smart guy, but Will McClay I think has kind of proven himself and is about as good as we're going to get with the handcuffs the Joneses' have put in place in Dallas.

Aikman is so popular he would become a new face of the front office and franchise as a whole, and that is something the Joneses could not stomach. They need a GM-Assistant who's great with being in the background and a football-Jesus type HC who understands them.

They might never get the latter, but McClay has been solid as the former
