Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones doesn't completely agree with the criticism that has come from Hall of Famer Troy Aikman about his organization.

Aikman was asked about being general manager of the Cowboys, and he said it wasn't something he thought that Jones would have much interest in giving up. Aikman also said he thinks until Jones does give up the GM powers, the Cowboys are going to have some issues.

“It's a real long shot,” Aikman said, via Patrik Walker of CBS Sports. “It's unlikely Jerry will ever bring somebody in who can help this team in that regard because he's been real stubborn and steadfast that he's the one in charge. I think in a lot of ways, until that changes, this team is going to have some problems.

“But would he ever ask me to come be a part of it? That would be a real leap of faith.”

Jones was asked about Aikman's comments, and he was very careful in the words he used about one of the best players in team history.

“[Aikman is] dyed in the wool,” Jones said. “I know he is. He does a great job of being impartial in his broadcast, but we know his deep-seeded affection for the Dallas Cowboys.”

Jones also said that he was confident that if Aikman was the one who owned the Cowboys, he would run the team the same way.

“I don't want to speak for Troy, but Troy loves football,” he said. “We know that. In this case, he loves the Cowboys. I'd dare say that if he owned the team or given everything he'd ever given in his life. And by the way, Troy emptied his bucket.”

The Cowboys have a big showdown on Sunday with the Philadelphia Eagles, and if the Cowboys miss the playoffs there is undoubtedly going to be more critical comments towards the team's owner.
