According to Aikman, Moore was forced on McCarthy by the Jones family when he was named head coach.
Aikman said he expected McCarthy back so the news was a surprise to him. He’s critical of the organization and said head coaches want to be able to do the job “on their terms” and “that’s hard to do”. He cited Dan Campbell as an example in saying he doesn’t know that a lot of coaches would be as successful working for the Cowboys, and he doesn’t necessarily think the Dallas job is a coveted one like some others do.
