Jerry is not going anywhere until he's in the dirt, but JG will be on the street come February 2020.

..CC is probably 100% more fan than most us here. Why endorse yer time and effort with thousands of posts, if yer not a fan? He just gives wider perspective views. If you want we're going to super bowl thread, write one yerself. ;)..
Actually it’s been found that Trolls are often some of the most heavily traffic posters on sites. They attempt to promote their narrative disrupting the topic and discrediting messages to the contrary insulting the messenger.

“ Someone who argues a point isn’t trolling. Someone who makes a wild and unwarranted comment about that person’s mother IS trolling. Someone who brings something off topic into the conversation in order to make that person mad IS trolling.“

It certainly hasn't been very easy to be a Cowboys' fan the last several years. Sometimes I feel like the boys are my kids. They do stupid things, and, at times you are very disappointed with some of the things they do, but, regardless, you still love them because they're your kids!! :)

Several? Like 24 years lol

I've never said at any time this season, even during the first 3 games against weak teams and before the Cowboys have suffered so many injuries that they were going to the Super Bowl. That doesn't change the fact that couch coach never post ANYTHING positive about the Cowboys. What kind of fan ALWAYS posts something negative about the team they claim to be a fan of? At some point a fan post something supportive of his team. I know that I'm not the only one that has questioned whether he is actually a Cowboys fan.

Despite your CLAIMS to have been a Cowboys fan, you've proven time after time that you're really aren't and probably never were. ALL of you posts are just attacks on the Cowboys. You never post ANYTHING positive about the Cowboys. Here's the very simple answer for you. Either save up all your money and then beg for more and then probably have to steal even more and when you get enough buy the Cowboys and then you can run them as you see fit OR go to the website of the team you're really a fan of.
.
Coach is one of the best, most articulate fans on this site. Your post sir is more negative than any of the dozens I’ve read from Couch Coach. You’re obviously a Cowboys fan, and for that I respect your opinion. But any Cowboys fan who writes as thoughtfully and with as much clever humor as Mr. Coach, is a pleasure to have around an opinion forum.

You’re entitled to your opinion on anything about the Cowboys, but you (nor anyone else on these boards) are not entitled to decide who is a “good fan”. If you don’t like someone’s opinion, offer yours without calling for them to go elsewhere. No one has appointed you to decide who’s a good fan or not.

You're right none of us have the right to tell another user to go someplace else. I also will say I have not see any post by coach that say anything positive about the Cowboys. All I see from him are negative comments about the Cowboys.

Then you've missed them, because he has posted positive about them. You have to realize that many of his posts are tongue-in-cheek. Get to know him, you'll see. :)

You obviously have missed a ton of CCs posts then.

IMO, None of us can be judges of positive fandom. It’s what makes this forum great. All opinions are welcome. If you don’t like a thread, either offer a different viewpoint or don’t post on it and move on. I see threads all the time where I disagree with the OP and I either choose to offer a different opinion or just avoid the thread altogether. Some threads die on their own for lack of traffic.

This x 1,000,000!

The forum is toxic when it comes to discussing the Cowboys. It's not really a place to discuss the Cowboys, it's more of a place to argue with other Cowboys fans because they don't hold the same opinion.

I think the only hope is for the local press to begin asking difficult questions, and most importantly, the national sports guys to laugh out loud at him. I still believe that's the main reason we got Parcells, Jerry was shamed into the hire.
Even if they do.. it will land on a dead ear. It is not only Jerry it is the whole family.
To me as long as the Jones own this team it will be business as usual.To them this is pure business they are in the entertainment business it is a PR construction firm with football element in it .

So lets say that 10 new users come on to this board and start to read his "tongue-in-cheek" posts and are then expected to know it's tongue-in-cheek and not think it is Cowboys bashing. The problem with tongue-in-cheek or sarcasm in the written form is there isn't any chance of seeing facial expressions or tone of voice or hand gestures to tip someone off that it is tongue-an-cheek or sarcasm. Some though do put (sarcasm) after it to let people know it's intended as sarcasm.

You're right all opinions are welcome. Even those that differ with others like mine of couch. Positive fans are really easy to spot and "judge". They are the ones that post positive things about the Cowboys. They show support for the Cowboys. On the other side it's difficult to believe those that only post negative things about the Cowboys are actually Cowboys fans.

All the discontent with this team would lead one to believe some are on the edge of leaving. I'm mad as hell and not going to take it anymore.

Well, get ready because Booger's Boy is getting extended because when it comes to this team, Booger gets what Booger wants and he could care less if you or I don't like it.

Are you reading the tea leaves of his radio interviews? Tell me what you see? What I see is a stronger endorsement of Garrett than when he was 3-0 and more of that "many other teams would want him". All part of the presell on the extension and he even got his son in on the action.

My point is this, everyone of us has the same decision to make, go or stay. It's that simple. But to expect things to change to suit us is folly.

Booger is not accountable and can do whatever he wants with his team, employ whomever he wants and you still have the same choice, go or stay.

If it makes you feel better, please proceed to start "Garrett's a goner" threads but also continue to ignore those tea leaves.

I have made several decisions about this team since Booger bought it. The best was to just avoid any interviews with him, any pressers, avoid as much exposure as possible because I realized what was happening. He was making himself the face of the franchise and loving that name for his stadium, Booger World.

So far, I've been able to hold out but it is getting tougher with the obsession with everything he says some have on this forum. You are aiding him in becoming that face and voice of the franchise.

I surely will not ask anyone not to start threads about him because it is also my decision to go or stay here and we all have the same right to start legal threads. But do you see what you are doing with all of this talk about him? Why not just change the name of this to the JonesZone?
He said the same things about Wade. If we get blown out of our building Sunday. Garrett is gone.

You are one of the better posters at CZ but your posts with references to Jerry as Booger really detract from that and just come across as one of the thousand mindless posters that complain about everything with silly nicknames for Jerry or Garrett, etc..

CouchCoach is to Jerry nicknames as Flozell Adams was to penalties. Adams was a really good player but had a lot of penalties and had them at the worst possible times.

Jerry endorsed Wade Phillips the week before he fired him.

You have to read between the lines with regards to what the Jones Boys say in interviews.

Stephen Jones interviews in the off-season are much different than during the season when he knows everything they say will become a media narrative.

I'm convinced that SJones will push Garrett out if the Cowboys don't make the NFC Championship game. He was blunt and fairly harsh with regards to questions about Garrett in off-season interviews.

Also, SJones hates spending money and not getting a return on investment. The 6M salary for Garrett likely drives him crazy.

By his own drunken admission, it was to get the voters to approve the tax to help fund the new stadium.

I used to make a 2,600 mile round trip to see the Cowboys at home every season, sometimes twice. My last such trip was in 2013.

Merchandise? I don't need anymore hats or jerseys. All Jerry's getting out of me is eyeballs on a TV set and this board.

The next Cowboys hat or shirt I'll buy will say "Super Bowl Champions" on it. At this rate, that means I won't be buying any more stuff.
Same. I'm done supporting this joke of a franchise with my $$. Want my support? Then freaking earn it.
