SHOCKING! Emmitt Smith Says He’s “Sick” of Cowboys’ Title Drought: “If I Were a Co-Owner…”
Dallas, Texas — NFL legend and Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith is fed up with the Dallas Cowboys’ decades-long championship drought—and he’s not holding back.
In a powerful and emotional interview, Smith, who helped lead the Cowboys to three Super Bowl wins in the 1990s, voiced deep frustration over the team’s failure to bring home another title in nearly 30 years. Though retired, Smith is still one of the franchise’s most passionate supporters, but even he admits he’s “sick” of the repeated letdowns.
Emmitt Smith’s Message to the Cowboys
Smith expressed that while his love for the Cowboys hasn’t faded, he believes the team’s lack of postseason success has taken a toll on fans and the legacy of the organization.
“It’s frustrating. It’s sickening to watch, honestly,” Smith said. “The fans deserve better. We deserve better.”
Since their last Super Bowl win in 1995—with Smith, Troy Aikman, and Michael Irvin at the core—the Cowboys have made several playoff appearances but have yet to return to championship glory.
What Emmitt Would Do Differently
Smith didn’t just vent his feelings—he offered solutions. If he had a seat at the ownership table, he says, things would look very different.
“If I were a co-owner, I’d demand more accountability,” Smith said. “I’d make sure everyone involved in decision-making was 100% committed to winning. I’d push for the kind of culture and leadership that puts championships first.”
He also suggested the organization has failed to evolve and modernize its approach, despite having plenty of talent on the roster. While not calling out any individuals directly, many took his remarks as a challenge to current team owner Jerry Jones.
“Ownership and management have to align,” Smith added. “If I were in that role, I’d ensure every person in the organization—from the front office to the field—understood what it takes to win and the responsibility of upholding the Cowboys legacy.”
Cowboys Fans Feel the Pain
With one of the most loyal and passionate fanbases in the NFL, the Cowboys’ inability to perform in the postseason continues to frustrate fans across the country. Smith, who spent most of his legendary career with the team, acknowledged the growing disconnect.
“You can feel it. Fans are still passionate—but they’re tired of waiting,” he said.
Final Thoughts: A Wake-Up Call?
Smith’s bold comments have sparked major conversation across the NFL world. Many fans and former players agree: change is needed, and fast.
“We’ve had the talent,” Smith said. “But what we’ve lacked is consistency, leadership, and the right mindset.”
Whether or not his words will inspire real change in Dallas remains to be seen. But one thing is clear—Emmitt Smith’s voice carries weight, and his call for accountability, leadership, and championship focus is one that fans will remember.
