‘It hasn’t gotten better since’: Dale Hansen on the worst Cowboys team he’s covered

The 1993 Dallas Cowboys were a legendary bunchy, both on and off the field.

The list of Hall-of-Fame players includes quarterback Troy Aikman, wide receiver Michael Irvin and running back Emmitt Smith, among others. Then-coach Jimmy Johnson and owner Jerry Jones also have their busts enshrined in Canton.

The team finished the regular season with a 12-4 record and eventually won Super Bowl XXVII 30-13 over the Buffalo Bills.

But during the offseason and after much drama, Jones fired Johnson and replaced him with Barry Switzer.

In 1994, the team produced the exact same regular-season record, but fell in the NFC title game to the San Francisco 49ers.
