Forget trading picks for coaches.
Fox analyst and former Cowboys Super-Bowl winning coach Jimmy Johnson proposed a radical concept to help galvanize the stagnant Dallas and Pittsburgh franchises.
“I’ve got no inside information but things are stale in Pittsburgh. Things are stale in Dallas,” Johnson said Sunday. “And just, food for thought, how about a coaching swap. Mike McCarthy’s a Pittsburgh guy. Let him to go to Pittsburgh, let Mike Tomlin go to Dallas, both franchises would be excited.”
There have been eight trades in the NFL involving coaches, including Denver acquiring Sean Payton last year, but none have involved a coach-for-coach swap.
It would be an absolute blockbuster should teams agree to trade their coaches, especially when it involves two of the league’s most storied franchises.
