Do the right thing Jerry!
Do not like to defend Jerry but I would like to see things from his perspective for one sec. Multiple people have said that Jimmy used to disrespect the heck outta Jerry and call him a dummy and a whole bunch of demeaning stuff. Guys who’ve written and reported about this team for years have said it.
ONLY because it makes Jed look good.........he and 25 years know the truth.
IF Jed CARED about winning he would've swallowed his pride, as if he has any, and let Johnson do his thing and tout " I hired him" the fans and the team would be better for it.
Instead.......he holds a grudge because he's been a complete failure since.
I get it, but goes both ways. If jimmy never bothered to apologize, why would jerry. I think that’s how he sees it, not saying it’s rightMy reaction isn't that its a feud, its that Jimmy left 26 years ago. Bill Clinton was President when Jimmy left, its not like Jimmy's time with the Cowboys was last week.
Idj.......at this point, I highly doubt he even personally crafted that.Maybe. It’s still not accurate to suggest Jerry’s ignoring the HoF nod when he published an official congratulation like he did.

And to not contact him.......... personally. Via phone. Morse code, smoke signals?
Jerry has been......well, not very personable. You can smell the arrogance.
His words or a speechwriters?Maybe. It’s still not accurate to suggest Jerry’s ignoring the HoF nod when he published an official congratulation like he did.

There are comments made from the heart and obligatory comments made because it's the expedient thing to do.His name is on them, so the point is the same.

A great coach...and GM“We're so happy that the Hall of Fame has recognized Jimmy Johnson for what he is. A great coach," said Jones, who hired Johnson as Cowboys head coach after buying the team in 1989.
"To Jimmy I say, 'The stars were aligned and our dreams came true when we joined the Dallas Cowboys. And on behalf of the Cowboys, and our fans all over the world, I say congratulations Jimmy. We're proud of you."
That’s fairly nice, for a scumbag.

True.Maybe. It’s still not accurate to suggest Jerry’s ignoring the HoF nod when he published an official congratulation like he did.
Yes, I understand there’s a difference. I’m saying the “obligatory” comments were made, and so it’s not cool to just act like they weren’t. If there’s bad blood between the two on this topic still, after all these years, why does Jerry need to cal him personally? He acknowledged it publicly right after the nomination.
Jerry is such a scumbag
