and just like Jerry the GM, Garrett the HC, and many others employed by Dallas, he would not be likely to find a similar position for any of the other 31 teams.He's been the Boys beat writer since the late 80's.
Jerry has surrounded himself with other frauds, that prop him up, are happy to be in the "big leagues", and don't question him or his decisions. Mickey has very much served as Jerry's chief minister of propaganda.
from Bill George's article Why Leaders Lose Their Way
Leaders whose goal is the quest for power over others, unlimited wealth, or the fame that comes with success tend to look to others to gain satisfaction, and often appear self-centered and egotistical. They start to believe their own press. As leaders of institutions, they eventually believe the institution cannot succeed without them.
The Leadership Trap
While most people value fair compensation for their accomplishments, few leaders start out seeking only money, power, and prestige. Along the way, the rewards—bonus checks, newspaper articles, perks, and stock appreciation—fuel increasing desires for more.
This creates a deep desire to keep it going, often driven by desires to overcome narcissistic wounds from childhood. Many times, this desire is so strong that leaders breach the ethical standards that previously governed their conduct, which can be bizarre and even illegal.
