Jimmy Johnson calls Jerry Jones' G.M. claims a "crock"

[Nirvana]

"There’s no fear in Dallas. It’s a country club where everybody’s buddies.”

Enough said. And the proof is that this team has not done squat since the Jimmy era, where there was fear in Dallas.

This, I pray, begins an era of real change. Truth is always the best disinfectant.

Anybody with the slightest clue didnt need this confirmation.

Apparently he still thinks he can just pull someone out of the cheap seats to coach this team to a Super Bowl. Never mind that it hasn't happened since all of the players that Jimmy drafted have retired.

Sorry, but I believe Jerry....Barry is evidence

It should be entertaining. Unfortunately, Jerry has no shame, so it will all be lost on him.

I can never tell when people on this board are joking or not.

You DO realize that Barry won SB30 with Jimmy's team, right?

Hard to imagine why people hate his guts, isn't it.

Jimmy also claimed that he was the "personnel director" when he was here, which is another crock. Bob Ackles was the personnel director until 1992, when he was replaced by Stephen Jones. Jimmy never held that title.

Again, Jimmy built the team, but he never held any of those titles, and he's wrong about Jerry not holding them when he was here.

Kid of seems like Jimmy is referring more to how Jerry takes every opportunity to say he is the GM.

Actually having the title is one thing, but constantly reminding people you are the GM is another.

He may have been labeled the GM but I think Jimmy is making a claim that Jerry started to take ownership of that title and mention it to anyone who would listen at a later date.

I also think Jimmy is slightly rubbed the wrong way by Jerry saying the Superbowls came from "his way".

The point is Jerry was not an active GM like he is now. So to say he's not changing because they've won this way in the past, that his role has never changed, is completely dishonest.

No i know what goes on in practice

nothing.....

i knew there could be no real practice with real results and a team regress so badly

no one is afraid to lose their job

[Joe Rod]

Such brutal, simple truths from the mouth of Jimmy.
