Aikman on a roll! "Way Organization Is Run Is to 'Detriment of the Cowboys'"

He's right that Jerry is a problem is many ways. He's right that a family business isn't ideal. We all know that.

Where I disagree with him is where he acts like changing the coach wouldn't make any difference because of Jerry. I heard his full interview live the other morning on the Ticket and to me it was a total defense of his good friend Jason. Sounded to me like he regretted going off on the poor coaching during the New England game and wanted to walk some of that back by blaming Jerry for everything.

I think a better coach would absolutely make a difference.

Getting a better coach will help IF
-The guy is super sharp
-A Good leader
-Brings some authority and accountability

But we all know that Jerry prefers a coach that will just fall in line. Will bringing in a Barry Switzer type improve things here? A Campo type? A Gailey type? A Phillips type?

Things could easily get even worse if the FO brings in another castrated guy who must always defer to the Jones family...and who is constantly undercut by the drunk at the top of the stairs.

I'm happy to see Jason gone...but only if the replacement is different qualitatively. That requires Jerry to change in ways that might not be possible at this point.

I wasn’t making a comment one way or another on who was responsible.

I was just expressing my disgust at being reminded how pathetic the organization has been for a quarter of a century. A generation of Cowboys fans who are now young adults have yet to see their team win a SB.

Well when you lose 3 HOF(Troy, Irvin, Moose) in back to back yrs Its going to take some time to get back what you lost.

IN 1999 Irvin's career was ended, and Moose retired at the end of the yr.
Feb Jerry traded for Joey Galloway, to replace Irving. At the time Galloway was the most fear deep threat in the NFL, he' was basically the Tyreke Hill of that time.
2000 Galloway gets injured early, and then Aikman's career is ended. Erik Williams was gone.

I dont think some of the posters here today remember just how good Galloway was, he just had bad luck in Dallas, but he was brought in to replace Irvin.

In the first 4 yrs of his career Galloway
4000+yrds 36 tds

So yes, Jerry had to give up hefty for him. Who knew he would go down and Aikmans career was going to end on 1 hit by Arrington.

Now from this point Jerry didnt have RD1 picks from the galloway deal, so they had a few yrs were it got tough, So Jerry went outside of his comfort zone and got Parcells who was praised by everybody. But he failed, Jerry had relinquished control and Parcells failed. He built up some talent but he couldnt relate to them. So he bailed.

Phillips stepped in and went 13-3, Dallas had the #3 offense and the #9 def. Jerry is to fault they couldnt get it done in 2007?

In 2009 Dallas had the #2 offense and again the #9 defense in the nfl. Again Jerry fault the players choke vs MIN?

IN 2014 Dallas ran over everybody literally. Jerry Fault the refs stole one from Dez?

IN 2016, Again Dallas ran over everybody literally, and again Jerrys Fault the refs missed 3 guys holding David Irving right in front of a ref and in front of Aaron Rogers?

I hate when people think Jerry has not built winners, but nobody other than Jerry to blame that they didnt get it done.

WtH?? Any proof of sources on that? No he didn't, he just didn't throw players under the bus to the media like the way it is done now a days. That was allowed by the HC Switzer! Troy spoke very loud about him!

The starting core of this team is the best in the NFL talent wise, so i actually dont think they need a great coach to get it done. But a coach who will make good decisions in crunch time.

What about Jimmy and Parcells? They were authority and accountability types no?

If Dallas doesnt land Belichick, id have to go for a huy like Saban. I love watching him rip into players on the sidelines on mistakes. Saleh intrigues me too
 
So Jerry’s selection of HC had nothing to do with his GM capabilities? Sorry, but if Aikman isn’t calling out Garrett, then this is meaningless...

plus, everybody was saying this was one of the most talented roster in football, meaning you can’t blame the GM this time around. During close to 20 of those last 25 years, we knew the rosters were garbage.

Wait a minute, the drunk's at the top of the stairs?...............Sounds like an easy fix to me! (Just kidding, I don't condone violence upon any geriatric.)

Sure, and as we all know JJ&JJ couldn't co-exist. Meanwhile Parcells was only brought in because Jerry wanted public funding for his Death Star stadium (that direct from Jerry's lips).

As much as I don't agree with those behaviors, it has zero to do with playing football as long as you get Ur job done. They did. The NFL is NOT. NOT a moral institution, so why would you expect them to be choir boys. If your morality was judged, would you have a job? The NFL is anti- moral institution! Until they get rid ok f greed , leud dancing of cheerleaders, selling beer, and way more, then what a player does on his time is his business. Expecting good behavior off the field is like expecting ppl who go to bars to stop drinking. Lol
 
Truth.....I've been saying for a while now....this team has a culture problem.

Really dont think this team couldnt get public funding without Parcells? Or better, you think this stadium couldnt have been built and paid for without public funding? Just to let you know Jerry signed a deal with ATT that paid for the price and more of the stadium. That baby is already paid for. Has been paid for.

Funny you use this as you point, but want to crush guys like Gregory Elliot, Dak, Lawrence, ect for their lives outside of the game. The double standard and hypocrisy today at a alltime high.

Ill fill you sheep into something, I sent a mod a PM lastnight that i was going to troll the trolls in this forum with some unpopular posts and thoughts to your posts and some of your own thoughts. Just to prove how some of you would react to somebody trolling you. Its been pure comedy to me because i see all of you crying bout my posting when you people do the same to posters who come here to post about the Cowboys and dont have somebody trolling you. Thanks for the laughs.

You have no idea how many post alerts i have had from that single troll post. Ive been amused by the responses. Some of you who i wont name are ridiculous. You bash Aikman when he was criticizing Romo, Dez, The OL, ect calling him a hack and whatnot, but As soon as he has a little critique of Jerry you all run on his jock. Total hypocrits.

I agree with Aikman 100% but i also dont blame Jerry for every little bad thing thats happened. He's given the players and coaches what they wanted and needed to be successful. They just havent delivered for him. So he's going to make a change. I just wrote that post to get some amusement, thanks.

Davis spent the last 28 years of his life chasing one more Lombardi, refusing to step down no matter how many times he failed.

Jerry's at 23 and counting...

Hoping for a solid 8-10 more months of Jerry’s life
 
And isn’t Aikman calling the game tomorrow?

preparation interviews with the players and coaches might be a little awkward!

We are talking the time-frame of Parcells hiring. There's a well-known video of Jerry (while drunk) saying he needed to hire Parcells (to get fans off his back and support venture)

Jerry got over $325 million of PUBLIC FUNDS towards construction of the stadium.*

It was going to pass anyways. Lets not kid ourselves. The revenue Arlington has gotten has probably tripled what they gave.

ATT deal was for 1.2billion.
