Troy Aikman Talks About Cowboys Alumni Frustrated By The Team's Lack Of Success

The Dallas Cowboys were pretty dominant through the 1990s, but as we well know, that success has tapered off. So, if you're a Cowboys alum who was part of those Super Bowl-winning teams, is it tough to watch almost three decades of failing to get the job done?

I don't know the answer to that, but fortunately, someone thought to ask Troy Aikman.

The Athletic's John Machota shared a clip of Aikman being asked about his fellow former Cowboys who are becoming increasingly frustrated with the way the organization can't seem to get it together and find some playoff success.

"Well, I heard their comments," the Monday Night Football color commentator said at the Children's Cancer Fund's "A Knight to Remember" Gala. "I guess some of them are (frustrated), and we know who those people are as well.

"I just know the people in the building want to win more than anyone outside the building. People are passionate, and I understand that as well. But I do believe whatever decisions are made or how the team performs, they're doing everything they can to play their best. I don't know what to tell you." 

That's a pretty diplomatic way to field that question. I don't know what else he was supposed to say. He's not going to go, "Yeah, I've been wondering what the hell was going on too."

There's no way, especially not with Dak Prescott in the house. You can hear Aikman allude to the current Cowboys signal caller being in the building when he says "Hey, Dak; you're up," at the end of the clip.

Look, at this point, we all know that there is a ton of pressure on the Cowboys to make something happen beyond the regular season. Until they do, that's not going to change, but it will get more intense each season they come up short.
