If he hadn't hired Johnson and let him run the football side of it, I think he would have had to sell the team. Think about, he fires Landry, the stabilizer for many fans, and the only thing that saved his butt was that turnaround. And if he'd have kept Landry, I don;t see him trading Walker to springboard that turnaround.You beat me to it Coach! Well said. Tex Schramm is the man MOST RESPONSIBLE for the successful brand that is the Dallas Cowboys. The strength of the brand Tex built is largely responsible for allowing Jerry Jones to “play GM”, get mediocre results, and somehow keep the fan base. If this brand had not been so strong, Jerry would have probably had to change.
I can't prove it but I have no doubt that the Dallas Cowboys have more exclusive viewers/fans than any team in any sport. Meaning, they aren't really NFL fans and don't watch all the games but they will watch a Cowboys game. The only team to rival that was the Jordon led Bulls but they actually won something, 6 something's.True, love the Cowboys or hate the Cowboys people will tune in to watch them play.
and so do the haters.
Booooooooooooo
Tom Landry warned this popularity label to make a buck would place targets on our backs. He was right and argued strongly against it to Tex who was just as big a Pimp as Jerry. Fortunately at that time success on the field still drove revenue so he let Tom make football decisions and Tex built the brand.

Booger owes Jimmy Johnson for making his team relevant again in football and he knows it and doesn't like admitting that to himself so he continues in his quest to rise above Johnson but he never will. If his team wins it all under Garrett, he's still not going to get the credit he needs and if he hires another coach, even less of a chance. He's already made a mistake, he hired McClay and things got better.

Absolute Truth. And sadly, Jerry will never admit this in a million years. He has benefited a ton more than he will ever admit from things he had zero to do with.If he hadn't hired Johnson and let him run the football side of it, I think he would have had to sell the team.

You, like a lot of others, have no clue what America's Team means and I don't have the patience to explain it to you.Yawn. Fans like to tell themselves this team is special. It's not. Sure it is still a premium "brand" but the Pats have long eclipsed Dallas as America's Team. Green Bay as well.
The Cowboys are like an aging Hollywood Starlet with too much botox.
But he was Captain America!!!As a Cowboy fan since 1971, I've never liked the "America's Team" moniker. The titles I care about are NFC East Champs, NFC Champs, and Super Bowl Champs. In Roger Staubach's autobiography, he also says he didn't like the "America's Team" thing.

Perhaps. But it was never about who won the latest championship. That's bandwagon bull. The America's Team moniker belongs to the Dallas Cowboys and always will whether y'all like it or not.It meant more than just popularity. Now that's all it is.

I do not, it wasn't a pic, it was a shot of him during the broadcast of the second game of the season. As they showed him looking around nervously from that alcove before the game, they talked about the fact there were death threats against him. I got to know the guy that was the Chief of Detectives back during that time and he said they and the Cowboys were taking the threats seriously at the time and there were quite a few cops from the area there in plain clothes. And that was before the dawning of the real world on us, they weren't searching for weapons back then. You imagine trying to keep watch on him with that many people around. He told me something that did make me laugh. He said they were hoping for a Cowboys win and when that wasn't happening, they were all a little twitchy.damn, I dont remember this. please tell you have this picture and post it here!
....and NEVER will.no question about the success on the field.
but as for the title America's Team....we NEVER lost that.
hell....everytime our game is in primetime its a ratings monster.
we have never NOT been......
'MERICA'S TEAM

That is what I said, love or hate the Cowboys people tune in. Clearly the haters view them to see Dallas lose but none the less they tune in and networks love it.
