Well, he is in my eyes, the success went to his head. We could have won 2 or 3 more SBs if he knew the chain if command and didn't put his ego in front of his team.

My feeling is, the way Jerry is dragging his feet, Jimmy may not get in until he is deceased. Just a gut feel I have. It saddens me. I see Jerry inducting Ware or someone else before Jimmy. I hope I am wrong. Who do you guys think gets in first, Jimmy? Ware? Or a wildcard player? Jimmy deserves better from Jerry. Its an ugly look not having him there. Give me your thoughts. I been stewing on this for a while and it just bothers me the way this has been mismanaged by Jerry.

In everyone's mind Jimmy is there and everyone knows Dallas doesn't win those SB without Jimmy. Jimmy was responsible for the talent that was on those teams.

Jerry is the reason. How many guys you know fire a Legendary Coach( Landry) and then get rid of a Super Bowl winning coach( Jimmy). You have your kids all involved in the Cowboys organization,have your own show,Sit in on Coaches meeting,inside the locker room,besides what man has plastic surgery to change his face? What kind of a 70 year old man impregnated a 25 year old. Jerry has serious personal issues.

Getting rid of Landry was a prerequisite for buying the team. Jerry had to agree to that, and even if he didn't have to, Tom's greatest coaching days were behind him. Jimmy wasn't planning to stay anyway. Jerry didn't "get rid" of him.

Jerry has his flaws, obviously, but those 2 things aren't among them.

As for the rest, if your kids showed an interest in being involved in the professional football team you owned, would you discourage them?
I don't know what the plastic surgery has to do with anything. Everyone has insecurities, and if you have the money to alleviate one of them, why not?
While I'm not condoning cheating on one's wife, I imagine most 70 year old men would be very happy to sleep with a 25 year old woman.

I don’t even think it’s that. I think he’s just dragging his foot. At the end of the day Jerry’s accomplishments are because of him hiring him. So any credit Jimmy gets…Jerry gets. I’m sure Jerrry may not see it that way…..

He is exactly right - Jimmy is beloved and Jerry is not. Jimmy is also a reminder to everyone that Jerry has failed to do squat without Jimmy. You could add in that Jerry is also a vain, insecure person that needs all the credit. I’m happy to give him all the credit he deserves for 26 years of failure.

You can say the exact thing about Jerry as well. If he knew the chain of command and stopped meddling and let his coach run his team then his relationship with Jimmy wouldn’t have been strained.

The Jimmy years have been so long ago I don’t think people even care about who did what. Maybe the older fans but the younger fans could careless. A 25 year old kid could careless about Jimmy.

Jerry is the OWNER......would your boss like you showing him up? Jerry put his life savings into the Cowboys and paid Jimmy very well.

All the talent in the world and soft as a down comforter.

He better not get into the Ring of Honor. That would be a disgrace and so would putting Romo and Witten in it as well. It's designed for winners and all three of those guys were the ultimate losers. I'm sorry.

Wish that I could have triple liked this!!!

I'm tired of typing this, but here it goes for the 500th time. Booger WILL NOT induct Jimmy until the Cowboys are coming off a VERY sucessful season....Booger CANNOT stomach AT&T fans going Ape S for 5 soild minutes once Jimmy's name is called....not to mention some boos that may cascade Booger if he is the one that comes on the mic first.....the possiblity of this playing out terrifies him. And I am 100% certain that it would. That is also why I think if it gets done, it will purposely be against a team that packs AT&T with 35,000 - 40,000 visiting fans, and will have zero rooting interest. Don't think for a second that I haven't thought this all out.

Jerry continues to make himself look bad by not putting Jimmy in the ROH. He claims he loves Jimmy but by not putting him in the ROH contradicts that. He’s added three players to the ROH that Jimmy drafted and added Charles Haley who Jimmy traded for. Jerry put Tom Landry in the ROH who he fired. He put Tex Shramm and Gil Brandt in the ROH but no Jimmy.

My boss? No. But this isn’t a typical job. This is the NFL. A business where guys smash their heads in for a living. So the “what would your boss do” argument isn’t going to work here.

Jerry Jones has always been a classless loser and this just highlights it even more

Yes, Jimmy traded Walker for so much value...a brilliant maneuver nobody else would have thought to do, including Landry, obviously.

Yes, Landry started with garbage, and took the team to a championship, after 11 seasons, with fewer teams to compete against. Jimmy started with a garbage team and won a SB in 5 years.

Jimmy is most certainly synonymous with the Cowboys. Ask anyone you know who football's Jimmy Johnson is, and I bet 95% would reply that he was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, if asked the same question about Landry, 100% would give the same answer, but the RoH isn't about comparing them.

I don't know what the point of your last sentence is.

I loved Landry, and respect him still, much more than I do Jimmy, but that doesn't mean Jimmy doesn't deserve to be honored as well.

It's a tough one for me, you make some excellent points. His tenure was short but certainly impactful. I have been sitting on the fence on this subject and I wouldn't object either way. I wish he had stayed. I wish that Jerry would have rewarded him with the position of GM after his 2nd Super Bowl. I wonder if he would have accepted.

I don't think he would have, because he would have demanded total autonomy and control, which Jerry wouldn't have agreed to. If somehow the two of them could have sat down, before any of the animosity set in, and worked it out in a way that would make both of them look brilliant, maybe. But that would have required both of them to put their goals above their egos.
