I was raised to work and respect my boss.....I was also taught by my father to move on, if I didn't respect my boss. When I became a boss, I fired 26 people in 4 weeks, that's very tough to do, but I hired 26 people to replace them. I respect Jerry, he won us 3 titles, it's not easy to win championships.....some people are very spoiled and have no clue. I wonder how many of you work for a boss that you don't respect? I never did.....

Jimmy won the three championships, third on Jimmy's players under Switzer, Jimmy built the team coached and selected the players, not Jerry, maybe if Jerry respected Jimmy, what Owner undermines his own coach by saying 500 other coaches could lead this team, Dallas might have more championships!!

Jerry hired Jimmy.....Jimmy's ego got the best of him and he left....
The only smart move Jerry ever made....Jerry was the one telling everyone 500 coaches could coach this team.......there's been plenty of those yet still no championship!

I think you are completely misunderstanding my feelings. I don’t like losing because I love the Cowboys. Whoever our GM was I would feel that way. It’s not about Jerry. It’s about losing. I will ask you a return question- why does it matter to you that some Cowboys fans don’t feel the same way you do?

Jimmy never won a thing in Miami without Jerry's money!!! Jimmy didn't know his place. Be bailed on us and you idolize him. Screw him

Jerry’s money??? lol I see this mentioned a lot. Pretty ridiculous argument considering they had the 18th ranked team salary in 1992. Probably the greatest team ever and some still pretend like Jerry’s checkbook played a role. The guys a clown and has proven as much over the past 2 decades with a gross incompetence only he’s capable of. Respect is earned, not purchased just like that 92 team.

I thought this started as a thread about your boss respecting you .... if not you leave.

Pretty well established that Jerry was the one who got jealous and started disrespecting Jimmy.

Not sure how Jimmy became the problem in this discussion.

Those were great accomplishments 25 years ago. If you haven’t done anything in a qtr century and winning is your priority, you may need to admit you don’t have what it takes anymore. Besides, Jerry didn’t win those 3 Lombardis alone.

As a former coach you would know- if your connection to winning was a long, long time ago, you probably should be in danger of being replaced. Except here, the GM and son have lifetime contracts regardless of results. That’s not a realistic formula for winning in today’s NFL.

How many of us would be able to say in a 25 year drought of accomplishment,”Hey look at what I did over two decades ago”? That’s a pretty hollow statement if winning truly is the bottom line.
If all considerations was strictly on winning another Lombardi trophy, then all considerations are out the window. Myself, I have never had life decisions that easy to square with...

And this thread is needed because?

Jerry's like the Cowboys you either love him or hate him...I personally can't stand the guy but I love my Cowboys, if they win I could care less who gets the credit.

No, Jimmy demanded his way. Jimmy did a job interview with another team during the week of his last Super Bowl, and then, in the celebration following the win intentionally insulted Jerry, his boss, in front of the media. Sorry guy, name tossing doesn;t justify the path taken by Jimmy. Jimmy forged a great team, but his own integrity caused him to just terminate as his own choice, for departing.

I

I won 14 championships in my 29 years....it's not easy. I get ticked off when people that have never strapped it on come out and complain....they have no clue
Congrats...and deep respect, Coach. As if Texas High School football was an ounce easier...!

Some never learned the hillbilly song....knock her down again, Pa, knock her down again. Make her tell us why, Pa, she was out late last nigh...

Something missing in a lot of fans...respect and how to deal with that and not insult with stereotype.

I wouldn't be that generous, Switzer had turnover to contend with as well and he had to head coach to help win games. Jimmy didn't do as well when he went to head coach the Dolphins and he was also the GM thereby pretty much having total control. I think Jimmy was an outstanding coach but Jerry and Jimmy together made for the Cowboys being an exceptional and dominant team for several years in the 90s.

Ranching logic

"If you do not like Rafael Zeptien ..... You are not a Cowboys fan"
If Ranching doesn't like for the Cowboys to win, then I question his loyalty. Go find you another team to cheer for if you don't like winning.

hahahaha, he WON three titles. :lmao: You mean Jimmy WON you three titles. Jerry came along for the ride and has been living on this the last 26 years. He would have been one of the firings after these past two decades.

Jerry wasn't doing anything when it came to talent evaluation for the Cowboys or selecting players and trades....the man is a snake oil salesmen, that's what he's good at, not day to day football operations.....
Switzer was running a day camp for kids, players were not showing up on time, when they did, they were hungover for practice and didn't pay attention to detail...all you have to do is watch and listen to Aikman during his football life who was trying to take the lead because the head coach wasn't serious....Moose said it, and so did Irvin who realized what Aikman was going through when Aikman came to him and said you have to be there and run routes to push this team...Switzer didn't win that third championship, Aikman put the team on his shoulder with the vets to get the team over the line in a game they should have lost to Pittsburgh.. Aikman said, the team wasn't as good as the 93 team and getting worse every year..

And in Miami Jimmy said after that he probably should have traded Marino but thought if he could develop a running game and defense, he could get the team to the playoffs, and he did...
