What was Jerrys biggest blunder?

What was Jerrys biggest blunder? Was it Jimmy… was it Randy… was it Daks contract? Thoughts?

 

[nightrain]

Not having the discipline or humility to recognize he is neither fit nor qualified to be an NFL GM and that his Son is in the same boat masquerading as EVP of Player Personnel. It's a bad mix of arrogance with ignorance that is fueled by their greed and good fortune as a marketing entity.

Jimmy

 

[The Fonz]

Micromanagement is the reason for all of his blunders

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Jimmy

and not even close and that's saying something of him. What sane person tries to mess up a dynasty?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

All of the.above and.more

If we don’t count his delusion of being an NFL GM, I’ll go with the Roy Williams trade. They traded away their future and then made him the highest paid WR in the league. That move gave us the infamous 2009 special teams draft.

Wasting ten years on a coach in training.

Jimmy

Johnson already had one foot out the door and never intended to stay in Dallas as just a HC. Dallas was just another stop, like Stillwater and Miami, to another destination. There was no way Booger was going to keep Johnson.

You got it. 100% spot on.

All of the other many many blunders Jerry has made were caused by this one mammoth blunder: Having a moron as a GM.

Someone go ask Jerry what instincts are and why they are more important than speed to a LB, especially a MLB. Bet he hasn't the foggiest.

Agreed on one foot out the door. But he may not have if Jerry didn’t meddle so much once they became successful. Had Jerry been smart , he could have move Jimmy to President and let him run all Football operations.

Joey Galloway was bad too

Joey Galloway was bad too

And don't forget trading up for MO.

The list is very long of Jerry blunders.

Mainly due to Jerry’s increased meddling.

Running Jimmy off.
No other bad move comes close.
Though, keeping Garrett for 10 seasons
Gets an honorable mention.

Coach, I respectfully disagree.
He could have made it easier for Jimmy to stay a couple of more years.
That would have possibly gotten us the 1994 Superbowl for 4 in a row.

How about the almost blunders that Jones was lucky enough to miss on?
