This clip sums up perfectly how I have been feeling lately. Enough retreads we need some young bloods with a vision and get out of the 90s. My only hope is Stephen somehow grows a brain but I'm not very optimistic.
 
I do think there is something to what he is saying. Football has changed and what we see in Dallas is not modern football. It's not old school either because in 1990 teams still played defense.

I just think Jerry has lost it. His rambling interviews show his brain is not really firing on all cylinders.

I was thinking maybe a few beatdowns this year will knock some sense into Jerry. What we get blown out by the Commanders and finish in 3rd place? When this team looks like a bottom feeder, and the media starts giving his team negative press, maybe he will choose to do something else.
 
That's why I doubt Jerry and Stephen will ever hire a HC who specializes in schemes or someone who tries to innovate. Someone like Kellen Moore will be as good as it gets (and once McCarthy is fired...it would not surprise me to see Kellen as a top candidate)

Jerry tried for over 2 decades to re-create the triplets. He never noticed that during those super bowl runs, the defense was at or near top of the league.

Other teams had triplets. One of those teams we abused in two of those SB's. What other teams didnt have is an all time great OL and a defense that swarmed to the ball
 
That's giving him way too much credit. It implies that there was a time when he was actually a successful football guy. There wasn't. 89-95 was all due to Jimmy. As soon as he was gone and his players started going elsewhere and/or diminishing due to age or injury, the Cowboys ceased to be a genuine championship contender.

He has a fundamental lack of respect for the head coach as the guy who provides vision, direction, and strategy for the football side of things. It's why coaches he's hired in the years since can't pick their own coordinators and why you get dingbat comments from him and his dingbat son to the effect of "oh, the Saints were hot, we just ran into a hot team." They genuinely think it's just a matter of getting hot at the right time.

I really can't stand these fools.
 
Jerry isn't stuck in the 90's, I think he's very content just being relevant and in the news. Things might be different if not for those 3 early super bowls, but he's had that and doesn't feel the need to work his butt off to get there again.
 
Jerry hired a head coach who had run out of gas in Green Bay and should have been fired after the playoff debacle against his old team. McCarthy can’t even beat the Packers without Aaron Rodgers. Jerry brought back Zimmer who he fired as his DC in the early 2000s, because no one else probably wanted the job for one year under a lame duck HC. All the problems start with the Joneses.

no it didn't. he never had it for it to pass him by anything.

his goal is to maximize profits and he is done that....
 
Jerry is showman. He is not a serious football GM. he would suck in any era of football.

What do you think that Dak contract announcement before the opening kickoff was about in Cleveland? Exposure! Open up the season with a blockbuster headline that would be broadcast across the league, all day. Priority 1 for Jerry is a headline for his team.

Jerry is his team's biggest fan. He wants his Stars to come to him after they wet the bed so he stroke their egos and gain their trust by keeping a barrier between them and the coaching staff.

As many of us predicted, this team is definitely looking like it will not make the playoffs this year and will be embarrassed on the field by teams hungry to rub their noses into the turf.

How bout dem Cowboys!

He won the last one with Barry Switzer as his head coach. But with Jimmys players and staff.

This accomplishment has led him to think that all he needs to do is get his own next set of triplets and put any old yes man at head coach like Switzer was to him.
The problem is he still hasn't found the next set of triplets or yes man puppet coach worth a crap after 30 years of trying.

And here we are.

His whole general managing life is geared towards trying to duplicate that feat again.
And unfortunately us fans suffer yearly knowing that we won't taste another trophy while there's still a Jones in charge.

So for those of you who are like me and been blessed to have your 70s and 90s championship memories of this team, hold on to 'em tight.

Its all we're gonna get.
 
The Cowboys are pretty good at embracing a lot of modern aspects of the game...the analytics certainly.

But they keep hiring old coaches. I'm older myself but I know this for a fact: the best chess players are younger. The best business innovators are younger. The whiz coaches are most often younger.
 
The only hope we have is that something bad enough comes out about Jerry that the League forces him to sell the team.
