There’s been a lot of talk the last few days of how Jerry is interfering in how Jason wants to run the team. He says things on the radio. Well of course he does. It’s part of the teams contract with the radio station.
What does anything Jerry say have to do with Jaylon missing tackles in the open field or Maher missing kicks?
Jerry hasn’t been any different his whole career. Yet supposedly, magically when the team went on the run last year he stopped interfering?
Or when they went 13-3 in 2016 with the Romo issue which had to kill him personally he was silent but yet caused destruction in the playoff game vs GB?
Please. Talking heads are trying to find sophisticated reasons beyond rehashing the same stuff. Yes I know it came from Troy which means it probably came from Garrett. But if you’re in the NFL you’re paid to do your job.
Now if Jason wanted to cut Maher and Jerry said no then ok that’s a TANGIBLE problem. Or if he’s dictating Zeke get 25 carries a game no matter what. But there has NEVER been concrete proof he’s ever done anything to demand play calls.
The team has just been cursed by not focusing on details on every snap going back to Romos dropped hold vs Seattle. That’s a coaching and player issue not owner/GM issue because these things seem to pop up at the weirdest times like Zekes fumble vs NO. It’s not like he’s keeping guys that have a track record of this aside from Maher. That’s just because there’s no better options available.
its about focus, its about football and in Jerryland its not all about football and that start with him. he makes business decisions that impact the football team. he continues meddles with his coaches and the way a football team operates.
lets talk about your favorite coach...Garrett (not)….he forced garrett on Wade. that's not the way it should work. a coach should be able to pick his staff the way he wants (barring salary demands, etc. that fall on the GM and owner)….but when Jerry hired the OC before he hired his head coach, that's messed up. that screws up lines of authority and accountability.
he has done the same with Garrett....forcing him to give up play calling and hire an OC and forcing Callahan to be the OC....now, jerry maybe right that garrett as a HC/OC wasn't a good idea, but let the coach decide and do and if he fails at it, then fire his arse…. but he forced Callahan on Garrett and garrett was never on board and it didn't work out.....same when garrett wanted to let Linehan go, but Jerry pushed to keep him and it didn't work out and same when Moore was promoted (basically because garrett being in the last year of his contract, no other OC or coach would have taken the job) and then Jerry proceeding to say if Moore is not in full control then he can just come to me... that's messing up the lines of authority.
Jerry has also done that with players, being pushed on coaches...like TO, Hardy, Roy Williams...….. none of which worked out.
Jerry wanting credit and his ego getting in the way, letting Johnson walk away when we could have had a 3rd superbowl in a row, instead he hired Switzer and forced the entire coaching staff on Switzer...so Switzer being nothing but a figure head...
Players (employees) in the company sense that, the lines of authority are muddled.....thus accountability is muddled.....then focus is not on football, its on business and marketing....a lot of Jerry's decision are financially based.....like Keeping Dak as the starter as a rookie when Romo was ready and wanted to take the job back and even asked for a competition....Dak was hot, selling tickets, jersey's and he (along with garrett) made the decision to keep Dak a starter...… there has never been a rookie QB that has made it to the superbowl…….
do you think Bob Kraft goes to bilicheck and tells him hire this coach or that coach? do you think any other organization forces that? do you think any organization tells the players come to me when you have issues
as a result, this team is not focused just on football, there is drama, too much drama in the building and that effects the team, how they play, how they prepare, and the results shows up on the field.
its been the same problem for 25 years plus....Aikman is calling it out....
there isn't another NFL team that probably has this level of drama starting from the very top......
the more the drama....the less the success
