wow THERE is a good story. Awesome.

I never doubted Jerry Jones the man or Jerry Jones the owner (GM is another matter).

Awesome story.

WELL SAID. AGREE.

Awesome story.

Yeah that's pretty cool, a billionaire owner doing this for a first year coach.

fun old people fact: Anthony Lynn was the guy who swayed my college choice.
My 1st and 2nd choice pulled out of recruiting me because I had rubella as a junior and I was pretty awful as a senior.
Lynn ate up the defense I had dreamed of joining so it pushed me over the top to choose Tech.

Throat kick to ShortRound for using "Jerry Jones" and "was hospitalized" in the same thread title in this manner.

Jerry is a good guy. I met him the summer after Jimmy left. I was a middle school coach back then, he talked to me and my buddies for about 20 minutes and made us feel like NFL coaches. I told him, "I want to shake the hand of the man that fired Jimmy Johnson". He got a good laugh out of that!!

[Hennessy_King]

So will Lynn come and replace Garrett then?

 

[Rockport]

There have been numerous examples of this over the years.

You can only dream I guess. Glad you lose again. Pretty pathetic of you wishing Jerry was hospitalized. Karm’s a *****.

During Cowboys training camp on August 20, 2005, Lynn was a victim of a hit-and-run automobile accident.[25] Lynn and Todd Haley, both offensive assistants for Bill Parcells, were out for pizza after training camp in Ventura, California. As Lynn and Haley were crossing the street, Lynn was hit by drunk driver Sergio Sandoval. Lynn suffered two collapsed lungs, facial and shoulder damage, and temporary paralysis in his lower body. He had four surgeries on his face, knee and shoulder due to the incident. Lynn returned to coaching less than two weeks later. Lynn's story was featured in a Verizon advertisement during Super Bowl LIII in 2019, where he was introduced to the first responders who treated him.

I completely forgot about that incident. Insane that he bounced back so quick after that.

What's even more amazing is that he survived. Very few people live to tell a story like this. Since religion is not allowed here, I'll just say "someone" was watching over him that day. And kudos to Jerry...

That's our offensive game plan.

definitely the best owner in the league, and probably one of the best in all of sports. And he seems to be about as down to earth as anyone can be.
