I just don't think an owner of a NFL team can successfully carry out the dual role of owner/GM in this day and age of the NFL. Just like I also don't think a HC can be both HC/Coordinator. (There are very few exceptions. JG isn't one of them. He simply doesn't have the experience to carry it off).

[View Full Quote]At any rate, anybody who didn't see the JJ blowup coming after the Cowboys lost to the Redskins twice in one season, wasn't looking very closely. JJ is 70 years old. He's not going to suffer fools gladly. And he's also not dumb. He sat and watched JG lose games all by himself because of his inexperience just like we did. Unfortunately for JG, those games were important because they kept us out of the playoffs the last two years. Not that we would have gotten past the first round if we had. Still, it was apparent by the end of this season, that JG couldn't be both HC and OC.

I don't know what kind of come to Billy meeting JG and JJ had, outside of the tangible coaching changes, but what I've taken out of it is that JG was humble enough to recognize that 8-8 isn't acceptable, and changes had to be made. So, any speculation about whether JJ is trying to force JG out really is fruitless. Imo, if JJ wanted JG gone, he'd have fired him before he fired RR. Additionally, the speculation as to whether JJ emasculated JG by hiring Kiffin and firing John G is also fruitless. Why? Because when it comes right down to it, no matter who the HC is, JJ is always going to be THE MAN. He's always going to have control.

Which is why, year after dismal year, Cowboy fans get to watch JJ blindly chasing his tail, while the team remains mired in mediocrity.

Being that the existence of Jerry the Gm is entirely due to Jerry the Owner, how can you say that Jerry is a great owner and you love the owner?
