Chargers HC Anthony Lynn comments on Jerry Jones, Lynn was hospitalized in 2005 *MERGE*

[Diehardblues]

I'd bet money it was successful because of Romo's improvisation more than it was a genius scheme by Garrett.

It was top 10 in Daks first season as well. The point is it was a successful offense that carried a lesser defense for years.

I think it's funny that some people put all this energy into hating Jerry Jones. He's not going anywhere until he dies. If you haven't noticed, we've put together a pretty good team here lately. There are teams out there that go a lot longer than 23 years in between Super Bowls. There are teams out there that have none. Just be glad we have won more than almost every team in the NFL. A large part of that has been during Jerry Jones tenure, like it or not.

Also, Johnson wanted to leave Dallas. Jerry let him out of his contract. It's not like Johnson was fully committed and wanted to stay. That's not all on Jones, it was a mutual decision.

This is the thing people fail to realize. Or I should say they realize it, but it does not fit their agenda, so therefore ignore it. Like they ignore many other facts.

Right

There’s a reason the rest of the league hasn’t followed Jerry’s model of running football operations.

Maybe because no team follows another teams model of running a NFL franchise. They all do it their own way.

Anyone expecting miracles with Moore are going to be sorely disappointed. Its still Garretts crappy offense.

I'm afraid you're right. I'm a little shocked at the hype he's getting. We have no idea if he's any good or not. Last time we had an OC that was declared a genius we got Garrett. Hopefully they can all say we told you so but I'm not holding my breath. Last time we were hyped this much we ended up 6-10 and that was with Romo as QB.

The point is 30 other NFL teams choose not for their owner to be GM.

Unless of course you believe Jerrys ways provides us our best opportunity to win serving as GM?

Romo only started 6 games.

But fans are just being hopeful with their half full glass with Moore. Most likely the issues were more about Dak than Linehan.

Ineptitude and being a good person are not part in parcel of each other. A person can be inept(maybe even ignorant in one specific area), yet a helluva human being at the same time. We humans can be pretty damn complex.

Was Jerry the drunk driver. JK

omg jeesh lol...That's awful...

 

[tyke1doe]

I never doubted Jerry Jones the man or Jerry Jones the owner (GM is another matter).

Awesome story.

Jerry is immensely loyal. That's a great quality when it comes to taking care of your employees. That's why players bypass the coach to go straight to Jerry.
It's not so good when you need to move on from players yet your loyalty prevents you from doing so.

 

[tyke1doe]

Jerry is a good guy. I met him the summer after Jimmy left. I was a middle school coach back then, he talked to me and my buddies for about 20 minutes and made us feel like NFL coaches. I told him, "I want to shake the hand of the man that fired Jimmy Johnson". He got a good laugh out of that!!

That was good. And funny. I'm still laughing.

He has it in title only the past several years. He will not give that up. Call it ego or insanity, it is just the way it is. It has no bearing on how things operate lately.

 

[Blackspider214]

Love Jerry. He wants to win more than any fan here. Sure he was a narcissist early on and made some big blunders, but he was smart enough to back off and let the football people make the personnel decisions. No one can question his care for his players and coaches. He’s in the Hall of Fame for a reason.

If he really wanted to win, why we he have Garrett as the coach for this long? That 100% contradicts him wanting to win. He only wants to win under his own circumstances. He has made a once great franchise into nothing more than mediocre spinning of the wheels for the last 2 decades.

Also, he admitted that if his track record of being a GM was someone else, he would have fired him a long time ago.

Winning is secondary for Jerry. First comes brand image and doing things his way. He would rather spin his wheels than to turn this team over to a real GM and hire a real coaching staff.

I can't believe people to this day still buy his act and think he's all about winning.

 

[tyke1doe]

It had to be Jerry, the rest of the Billionaires in the US are all monks.

I doubt Bill Gates could do one pushup and he has a written contract with his wife that he gets several weekends a year with another woman.

Are you serious?

That’s an opinion not fact. Jerry is still very much in charge. He’s just listening more to the advice around him which he’s done before.

The bigger point is it’s still dysfunctional to the core despite better results which provides us this type of coaching staff and front office.

 

[dogunwo]

Every thread should have garrett getting fired or replaced

Forum rules say otherwise.

So they are getting better results but yet are still dysfunctional?
Seems to me they aren't all that dysfunctional if better results occur.
Well ok then.

 

[eromeopolk]

Parcells had a solid group of coaches on his 2005 Cowboys staff (Payton, Lynn, Bowles, Zimmer, Haley, Sparano, etc.) However, Jerry Jones the Owner is awesome.

 

[visionary]

They give him a pass because of something that happened nearly 25 years ago. I bet Charles Manson gave his mother flowers on Mother's day one time when he was little. Does that earn him a pass for all the crap he did later on?

Jerry and Garrett apologists are a simple minded group with inability to analyze multiple issues. They’re basically ‘simpletons ‘, not a savvy bunch

They say: Jerry good
And somehow everything he does is great and that one act supersedes every other moronic thing he does

People also have to stop giving him a pass for hiring Jimmy and have to understand WHY she hired him

There were 2 reasons: 1. Jimmy was his friend, 2. He had bought a new franchise and had to get someone competent to win to make money. Exactly the same reason (#2) why he got Parcells.

So that decision was made because of nepotism and because his revenue was being threatened

Jerry is who he has always been, a snake oil salesmen who struck it rich and bought a team which was his dream. He is a football idiot but believes he ‘knows football ‘ and people around him bend over because their livelihoods depend on his favor

 

[Diehardblues]

Well ok then.

Correct. We’ve had better results before within the dysfunctional organization.

That’s assuming of course if you call winning divisions and losing early in playoffs more success.

Ultimately the Bar has been lowered this era with Jerry’s ways.

He's all about winning. He wants to win more than any of us. He simply believes that Garrett is capable of leading the team to the Super Bowl. Unlike most fans, he understands there are many variables, one of them luck, that goes into winning a SB. I do think he was close to firing Garrett last year after the 3-5 start but he didn't and Garrett bailed himself out finishing 7-1 with a playoff win. He'll have to prove it again this year though.
