Jerry may not have been happy about having to hire a new coach -- a major pain, I'm sure -- but yeah, every media person close to this team has said Jerry was miserable when Parcells was here, hence the "walking on eggshells" quote you had earlier. He wasn't having fun. And Jerry doesn't want to own the most valuable sports franchise in the world and not enjoy himself. Which he gets to do with his quasi-son in place.
The person you're "debating" with just chooses to put his head in the sand.
All that and not one quote to back your claim. I always love people who make claims on the backs of others to prop up their own authority. Always sounds like weakness to me.
What I recall from that time period was that Jones would not talk to the press and let Parcells and Dalrymple run the narrative. That likely was not fun for the mediots but I don't see how that matters.
Either way that is immaterial. We have an undisputed public statement from Jones stating "clearly" they wanted him back. He has worked to a high degree of success in a hostile work environment with Jimmy for years before that.
At the end of the day the notion that Jones will not hire a strong HC is ignorant.
