Thanks, will watch.

Here's another great one. All about their Arkansas Days. Barry Switzer in it too.

The day the music died.

 

[DallasEast]

March 29, 1994. A day that will live in NFL infamy.

 

[khiladi]

I remember feeling bad Leion Lett didn’t get his TD in the SB and the Cowboys didn’t surpass the 49ers scoring record for the SB.. Man how times have you changed

The day the music died.

The day the music died was when Coach Landry was, unceremoniously, let go. Jimmy left on his own, because of his ego.

Yeah. I admit, I cried like a baby when this happened. Even though I knew it was probably time for Landry to hang it up. It still hurt like hell. I had hoped Jerry would have kept him on as a consultant of some sort, but it didn't happen.

And the Cowboys have been basically irrelevant for nearly 30 because of Jerry’s ego.

Yes...but the fans are still here.

I had a chance to interview him before he died. I asked him about the whole fiasco. He gave a standard, reveal-nothing answer, but I could tell in his eyes he was still hurt he didn't ride off into the sunset the way he wanted to.

He deserved better....I may be a homer, but Coach Landry deserved better.

 

[Vtwin]

Seems like just yesterday.

It's not being a homer wanting the best for people.
I thought the game had passed him by but still highly respected him.

 

[RodeoJake]

Jimmy didn't stay at a more than 5 years. He was a great coach, but he was more of a mercenary. Landry epitomized the Dallas Cowboys. It might have been time for him to ride off into the sunset, but the man deserved much better than he got from Jones.

 

[StarLord]

Jimmy and Jerry should cowrite a book and rake in the cash.

 

[HotDog37]

I have a feeling that the breakup was far, far worse than ever reported. Thus, the past 30 years of failure.

 

[DallasEast]

Jimmy and Jerry should cowrite a book and rake in the cash.

It took decades before Jones agreed on inducting Johnson into the Ring. Imagine how long it would take for Jones agreeing to doing something like that.

There was zero music those past few years with Landry. His mind was waning fast, and his offense and defense were wildly outdated.

Typical fan, no respect....I get it, I don't agree, but I get it. What I don't get is, why are so many still crying about Jimmy? He quit on the team....

Jerry had nothing to do with it either, did he......

Jerry absolutely played a part in Jimmy throwing up his hands and saying 'screw it, it's time to go'. Or are you going to ignore all the circus atmosphere garbage Jerry had started that helped lead to Jimmy's decision.

Are you able to read Jimmy's mind and know this to be true? I think he quit on Jerry. There's a big difference.
