whats not true about it.not true
whats not true about it.not true
Jimmy drove himself offJerry is a frustrated coach, he believes he is smarter than anyone, fired Tom, drove out Jimmy (or fired depending on who tells the story) drove out Parcells, Reeves didn't stay a day,Turner turned him down, yeah if you know football Jerry doesn't want you around telling him he is wrong. Jerry would be GM and Coach but NFL doesn't allow owners to coach so he hires a yes man. Jerry is AL Davis only difference is Al something about football. 20 odd years and the common link to mediocrity is Jerry and he is just to arrogant to see it. Troy see's it as well as most knowledgeable football people. Yes Jerry is intimidated by people who know football
respectfully disagree both suffered enough of Jerry.Jimmy drove himself off
Parcell's walked on his on decision
Parcells said he and Jerry got along . _parcells lost his drive and suffered from depression it's well know
then you dont know the history or comments from Jimmy or Bill.respectfully disagree both suffered enough of Jerry.
Right. I just observed them fulfilling their passion. Some were successful others went out of business.Jones is not a psychopath.
Perhaps part of the problem with observers of others' behavior is the false self-belief all possible disorders are one and the same.
Question: How many of those wealthy business owners or professional players used their status as justification to invent a title for themselves in order to legitimize their actions BEYOND what they could do AS 'an owner or professional'? Or did you simply observe them doing what they wanted to do without them hiding behind a pretense?
I was in the insurance business for 30 years. Around many wealthy business owners and professional players.
Jerry’s behavior isn’t that unusual. I’ve seen this type of behavior many times. They just weren’t the owner of the Dallas Cowboys.
Jerry bought into his favorite passion. Building, running and coaching a football team.
It would be like buying a restaurant and you insisted on cooking up every dish even if you werent the best cook for your business because cooking was your passion. I can provide other anologies.
Jerry isn’t a physcopath . He just wants to be a football guy. Lol
Correct. No one has copied Jerry’s model for mediocrityBut Jerry's owner/gm/phantom head coach model is completely unique among NFL owners. Bungals sorta have it but their owner is not their phantom head coach and lets his hc hire their own staff. Jerry's peers are the other 31 billionaire owners and none of them, no matter how arrogant, have adopted the Jones model of football management. Why would they unless they want to ensure decades of mediocrity and never win championships?
Die, I quit buying anything branded cowboys a long while ago... I will not support JJ and his ego....and I have a grandson who loves the cowboys, and now has to ask why I don't watch the games....pathetic coming from a guy who is 59 and been a fan since about 8 years old.
If you think this is going to make anything better you're sadly mistaken. Jerry will only dig in further against the media criticism. He'll probably give JG a lengthy extension along with Dak just to be defiant. Reminds me of someone...can't quite put my finger on who though.

I’ve always argued on Jerry’s behalf that if the NFL required all owners to also serve as their teams GM in the same capacity as Jerry I think he would have much more success in the NFL .
But he would get none of the credit. No can do.Jerry's ego is always the issue.
What's crazy is that if he hired a big name HC and they, oh my God, started really winning, the Cowboys would make even more money and have more publicity.
Still not a guarantee, but if this team finishes as poorly as they have been playing lately, say 6-10 or 5-11, Jerry probably can’t justify keeping his personal Tom Landry anymore, despite wanting to.
But...IF Jerry has to hire a new HC, based on his history and a weird psychosis about not having a HC that can outshine him, don’t expect some big name guy to be named.
Because for some strange reason, Jerry is intimidated by real football people who have had major success. Rather than hiring a HC that gives HIS TEAM the best chance to WIN, he wants to hire someone that gives him the best chance to feel good about himself.
I’m sure someone with some expertise in psychology could write a book on why this billionaire is so insecure and even petty about his credentials. So bottom line....if Garrett gets fired, don’t expect some big name coach with a history of NFL success as a head coach to be hired. And I wouldn’t expect an up and coming young star college coach like Lincoln Riley either. It will probably be another mid-level NFL Asst Coach few have ever heard of.
Too much star power makes Jerry uncomfortable and intimidated. And by now, we should all know his personal comfort has top priority over winning.
A few of us keep mentioning this but people read what they want to read but here goes again:

Is Jones a textbook narcissist? Admittedly no. For example, he has demonstrated empathy for others publicly on numerous occasions, especially for current or former players. All cases are not exactly the same though.
But he would get none of the credit. No can do.
I got to admit. This is by far the most intelligent post I've ever read on this site and every other site since I got started in discussion forums. You nailed it. Analyzed him and the situation perfectlyStill not a guarantee, but if this team finishes as poorly as they have been playing lately, say 6-10 or 5-11, Jerry probably can’t justify keeping his personal Tom Landry anymore, despite wanting to.

Thanks for that. I have refrained from ever mentioning the DSM to prevent anyone of accusing me of practicing psychiatry. The closest I ever came to being a mental health physician were two college psychology courses, lol.If you examine the diagnostic criteria set forth by the American Psychiatric Association DSM-5 Manual (which is the benchmark), there are 9 characteristics listed, of which only 5 are required to establish diagnosis.
So yes, he's literally textbook.
