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?
"I would never have given Dak Prescott a new contract. I'd have let him play it out.'' - Cowboys icon Jimmy Johnson with a bit of revisionist history.
A few minutes before Sunday’s wild-card matchup between Philadelphia and Green Bay kicked off, the former Cowboys coach brought up the idea of Dallas and Pittsburgh swapping head coaches in the offseason. Johnson admitted he had no “inside information” before throwing up his hypothetical.

FOX NFL analyst Jimmy Johnson had an unorthodox idea to try to address the Dallas Cowboys’ coaching situation. On “FOX NFL Sunday,” Johnson proposed a coach swap between the Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Jimmy Johnson, Jerry Jones’ Super Bowl-winning coach from the 1990s, popped on Fox Sports on Sunday to propose a swap: Mike Tomlin to Dallas. Mike McCarthy to Pittsburgh. Wouldja?
The next Cowboys head coach will be the 10th in team history, and the ninth under Jerry Jones's employ. So, who wants this job? And who does Jerry want?
The Fox analyst and former Cowboys Super-Bowl winning coach proposed a radical concept to help galvanize the stagnant Dallas and Pittsburgh franchises.
Jerry Jones once famously said 500 coaches could have won Super Bowls with those early 1990s Dallas Cowboys teams. 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.
Once again, Jerry Jones is tasked with the decision of hiring a football coach. History suggests that doesn't bode well for the Cowboys.

The Cowboys parted ways with coach Mike McCarthy after a rough season. The next candidate better be ready for what it's really like to work for Jerry Jones.
