Cause the team is getting shook up and maybe they want to see if they can get an idea of where it's going?

No OC yet, plenty of other stuff up in the air.

He's the chairman! What a freakin blowhard. If he loves Romo so much WHY do you feed him to the lions EVERY year....'Mr. Chairman'.

Look, I know Jerry played college football. But I'm telling you, when I hear this guy talk about football I would never guess that he played.

For example, I've listened to Jerry talk football now (like a lot of you) since 1989. I've watched his entire run as owner, president, gm, etc.

The #1 thing he talks about when it comes to coaches is enthusiasm. If I've heard him talk about passion and enthusiasm once, I've heard him say it a thousand times.

Now, I'm not against enthusiasm. But enthusiasm alone doesn't make a great football coach (cue Campo). "Rich, rich, (I don't remember the exact word he used to describe Kiffen but it amounted to) enthusiasm". Unreal.

He goes on and on about 8-8 like we have had 2 seasons of problems. We have had 16 seasons of problems. We have had problems ever since Johnson left. Even when we won with Switzer it was by the skin of our teeth on the power of the work done in 1990-1993.

Until the guy is willing to look in the mirror and recognize that he is THE MAJOR thing that is wrong with the Cowboys (from a football perspective), any change will be short term. Just my 2 cents.

Some things that stood out to me:

Jerry Summary #1: He wanted Garrett to call the plays when he hired him because of Joe Gibbs's advice. Garrett was for it. He now wants Garrett to not call plays because all of the people he recently consulted said he shouldn't. Garrett is for it.

Jerry Summary #2: Garret's big plus is the continuity with Romo. Glad they aren't having to start over there. Wouldn't be anywhere near as comfortable if they had to start over there.

Summary of a Funny jab: Jerry said to show him how he could just pick a QB up better than Romo today, just take one home with him (pointed at the practice behind him). Mayock responded to him that in last years draft they did.

#2 was pretty telling for me. Seems like having Romo gives Garrett a lot of rope in Jerry's eyes. Big reason why his staff is being rebuilt around him but he is staying imo.

How many times are these type of threads going to turn into "bash Jerry" threads?

What a bad man.....Jerry is the blame for all that is wrong in the world, what's sad is you can already predict our failure.

Hopefully you keep that stance if by chance you are wrong.

Are 17 years of .500 and one playoff win not enough evidence? Who else could possibly be responsible? I'm all ears.

Your sort has been wrong year after year after year, and then are just goofy enough to act like the onus is on fans who see this organization for what it is to justify why we aren't SB bound.

The question was rhetorical.

And it's not as ridiculous as the responses that always fester in these type of threads.

Jerry does not sound like a typical businessman either, yet almost everyone agrees that he is highly successful in that area.

It will never end until Jerry's time on this earth is over. There will always be positive, look to the future type fans who refuse to allow past history to affect their view of the future.

I have to say I wish I was more like that because it must be a happier way to watch this franchise. The last 17 years have been tough for the realists among us.

Great salesman, great businessman, mediocre football guy. Just the fact that they have to bring up his last good choice (Ware) which happened 8 years ago tells me enough about his football savvy. Our problems start and end with Jerry. He's so good that he defeats parity by constantly positioning his team to be 8-8.

It's just a shame really. The fly by the seat of your pants "enthusiasm" that gets you squat for 17 years in a row.

When the taste of your own words become stale and you keep throwing them around it's actually bordering on insanity.... and so is his flock.
