At some point we become part of the solution or part of the problem.
If you believe Jethro is part of the solution for the success and respect of Cowboys Football then I’d argue you are in the very small minority of fans and critics.
He is ownership and is responsible. No one is responsible above him. The coach runs his team. He tells scouting what he wants and they find him players or research as directed. Jerry, not the maligning term Jethro, picked his desired Head Coach after reviewing stances of all applying candidates. That is a factor as well.
You grossly under estimate what is involvements in football by Jerry Jones.
He also, is owner, and provides all opportunity on his team. That goes from Jimmy to now.
After that coach leaves, the play of players are no longer that coaches. The players are still part of that team. That's a fact. No more endless statements of but he's. His next coach held a Lombardi of his own.
To expand a view...America isn't great only because of George Washington...same with the Cowboys. Be a fan and not a Jimmy this or that.
Jerry is in the Hall of Fame because of football. Not being rich.
Blame for parting isn't just Jerry. Jimmy owed loyalties to his team. As far as being involved Jerry was involved. Jimmy well could have requested who he wanted, and Jerry well could have moved mountains. But actual approval was Jerry's. An owner is fully correct for accepting responsibility for players, because that is actually what happened in reality. Yes, he made the move as he approves all activity.
On this fact, Jimmy was naive and he ended up paying for his own short comings in facts. Jerry didn't mess up, Jimmy didn't fully understand the organizational requirement of loyalties, himself.
You really think Jimmy was hurting on any aspect of support, fame, or fan support...I'll say it and not send yet another truth and fact involving ethics and integrity down the road...NO, he was receiving that already.
Jimmy tripped on his own accord then, and left the head of franchise no alternative.
When the sun set, Jerry was having to pay the bills and was responsible, still, for providing opportunity for everyone in his franchise. That didn't just suddenly disappear. Did Tom Landry lose his job for some reason? Yes, and the same here.
Jerry and his team are valid and a strong element in sport, now.
