Bum Bright did not like Landry and wanted him fired. Also the Cowboys GM at the time Tex Scramm, wanted Landry gone as well. Either way, Tom was gone.

Here is recap of an interview Peter King did with Brad Sham.

http://coachfore.org/2017/10/19/landry/

Sham:

“Okay, so here’s the backstory. Schramm wanted to get rid of him, but he couldn’t because the Clint Murchinsons (the original owner of the Cowboys), the original owner’s deal was Schramm, Landry, Brandt. That was the deal, couldn’t break them up. Two people offered more money to Bum Bright, the owner who sold to Jerry Jones. But he turned them down because they were going to keep Tom Landry. But Bum hated Tom Landry. Jerry gets the team; everybody knows that Jerry brings his own guy. Now the same people who are calling my radio show in the Fall of 1988, ‘he’s old, he’s senile, the game has passed him buy, you gotta get rid of Landry.’”

“Okay, so here comes Jerry Jones and he gets rid of Landry. Then Cowboy Nation is in an uproar: ‘How can you get rid of Landry?!’ Well, that’s fans. He’s from Arkansas, he seemed a little too pleased about the whole thing.”

“Tom Landry is a guy Tex Schramm wanted to replace. Tom Landry was a guy who, buy his own later admission, was struggling with the sociological challenges of some of the people who were playing pro football in 1987 and 1988. So, how do you replace Tom Landry?”

Thanks man. I learned something good today.
This is the type of stuff that keeps me coming back when I am getting tired of all the Dak and Zeke trolls.

I live in the northeast and I was about 13 years old and this was before the internet.

so you are saying if Jerry didn’t agree to fire Landry then he wouldn’t have been able to buy the Cowboys?

That's exactly it. I was born in 82 so age isn't really an excuse here. I don't mean to sound like a dick but I hut the bottom of a 5th.

It was part of the agreement to buy the Cowboys. Why do people always forget to include that bit of information? Oh yeah because they want to incite drama.

I'm saying he pouted on the sidelines all game. Shades of Cam Newton.

Had Dez or Irv been in this game, they would be cheerleading on the sidelines. Amari has no fire.

So this is what we've come to. What if he clapped? Wouldn't that be like infringing?

This should be all Jerry needs to hear if he’s contemplating firing this clown. Hey Jerry...

Garrett has no fire, and it's made this team soft. Jimmy said it best, there is no fear in Dallas.

Jimmy would make his teams miserable if they lost, whereas Garrett claps, spits, smirks, and even (as of tonight) yawns.

I didn’t know someone needed an excuse to not know everything from the 1980s cowboys...


Or did you mean you being born in 82 is no excuse for you being a dick.

I post that this was interesting and I didn’t know this to someone else. They reply with respect more info.

you chime in and be the dick...

says a little something about each poster doesn’t it.
