And he's going to do it again to Lawrence as well, if they resign him.
I think what's positively stunning about all of this is that Jerry is clearly a bright businessman who has had tons of success not just in building one of the great sports franchises (in terms of money) but in real estate, oil, etc. Along the way, in building this empire, he must have had to make decision about poor performing personnel, entities, etc given the successes in business he has had. He doesn't get where he is by making bad financial decisions.
But how in the world doesn't that translate over to his football team? How can he see things in the business world but then fail to see an underperforming asset running his football team? To me, it's simply loyalty and he's become too emotionally involved in this. Garrett is a guy he really likes and he's a guy that Jerry sees as a link to the glory days of Jimmy, Troy, Emmitt, Irvin, etc. He cant get past that.
And it's cost him and will continue to cost him. If Jerry passes without ever winning another SB, he'll have no one to blame but himself, his misguided loyalty and his overall stubbornness.
