Dallas Cowboys legend offered a coaching trade idea that had the fans running wild on social media. However, is the idea as asinine as it may seem?

As the Dallas Cowboys work through their coaching search, a franchise legend weighed in. Jimmy Johnson addressed the looming decision for Jerry Jones, including how Dak Prescott impacts things. Johnson pointed out two “key figures” in the search to replace Mike McCarthy after he and the Cowboys parted ways this week.

The owner and general manager has made six hires since winning two Super Bowls with Jimmy Johnson and one with Barry Switzer. None that have followed have been able to get the Cowboys past the divisional round of the playoffs.
