Jerry has favored his era players. The only exception with prior eras were players fixing to be inducted into HOF.
That’s assuming Jimmy doesn’t come to the NFL regardless of Jerry.
I don't believe he meant that as a shot at Jimmy, but rather as a statement of how good the players were... What's more, at that point, it wasn't a ridiculous statement. Switzer took over and barely coached the team, yet they made it to another SB, thanks to Aikman, Irvin, and other leaders on the team.
That Jimmy put together. Jimmy built a team that anybody could coach. Well maybe not Garrett. lol And after the next 2 or 3 years was over it was nothing but a declining franchise right up until Parcells got here.
Right .. the “ 500” was more about the team could have won with anyone coaching.
But at the point in time that he made that statement, he wasn't wrong.
Oh I agree, we probably would have been much more successful with Jimmy at the helm. Unfortunately, he had no interest in staying, even before their fallout.
I think Jimmy could have got more than 1 championship out of those remaining years though. That 1995 team barely made it. As the media told us after the game, Pittsburgh lost that game more than Dallas won it.
there was a criteria under it's creator...Tex Schramm...a very HIGH standard.
I don't know that it does much. I agree that Jimmy should be in, but otherwise the guys in it belong, except, in my mind, Charles Haley, and obviously others will end up getting in. I know there are still some from the Landry era fans would like to see, but there always has to be a cutoff point. And, keep in mind that Jerry has inducted some Landry era players that could have been inducted in the Landry era, but weren't (Hayes, Wright, Jordan, Harris).
He never intended to stay much beyond his tenure in Dallas. It is landlocked and he's a seafaring man.
and not just the coaching end...but the stocking of players that FA was ravaging our roster...JJ knew talent he was a master in the draft..He would have been able to fill positions and keep the fridge loaded...Nobody after Jimmy had a clue how to draft...
Actually he did intend it as a shot at Johnson. He said it right after he was snubbed for being the classless drunk that he is. What people don't seem to get is that wasn't the only thing this guy had done not to be liked by those people. That was just part of it.
No it doesn't. Every name on their earned their way, and Jimmy not being in doesn't diminish that.
I get your point, but I think Jimmy is really just an outlier, and overall the integrity of the ROH is intact.
