It seems like Troy Aikman<\/a> is enjoying NFL front office work.<\/p>\n

The Dallas Cowboys icon recently spent some time as a consultant for the Miami Dolphins<\/a> as they searched for a new general manager and head coach. In an appearance on the \u201cRodeo Time Podcast\u201d with Dale Brisby,<\/a> Aikman said he would continue to work with the Dolphins.<\/p>\n

He wasn\u2019t clear on what kind of role he would hold with the franchise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, the Dolphins reached out to me and asked if I would help them in their GM search and head coaching search. It kind of caught me out of left field. I wasn\u2019t expecting that,\u201d Aikman said. \u201cI dove into it and decided I would do it. Thoroughly enjoyed it and felt like I was of some help.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere that might go, I\u2019m not sure. I\u2019m going to continue to work with them in some capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aikman added that his work with Miami has \u201cscratched whatever itch\u201d he had for working in an NFL front office. When asked if he would ever be interested in coaching, the Pro Football Hall of Famer reiterated that he would only take on front office work.<\/p>\n

Aikman held off on taking a front office role for several years, saying he felt it would be \u201cselfish\u201d to pursue a new gig when he could be spending time with his young daughters. He felt the timing was right for a new role after his youngest daughter graduated from high school in 2021.<\/p>\n

After his playing career ended, Aikman has found success in the football broadcasting world. He currently serves as ESPN\u2019s \u201cMonday Night Football\u201d analyst, working next to Joe Buck.<\/a><\/p>\n
