To the slight defense of Wasserman (who I really don't give a crap about) and Aikman (who I will always revere, being a student during his 2 seasons at QB), hiring Chip at the time was a reasonable move. He was widely considered a top get and was seemingly motivated for redemption after a meh NFL run.
The mistake that was hard to see was that Chip, who was already known to be a questionable recruiter, was stubborn and inflexible and arrogant and was wholly unfit to deal with the coming changes in college football, at least some of which could have been predicted.
You.absolutely.nailed.it. Now you tell Wasserman and Aikman, to their face, how they could have been conned to such pitiful extent ???
