After yesterday's North Texas Super Bowl committee press conference, reporters got Tony Dorsett to reminisce about the good, ol' days when the Cowboys won playoff games on a regular basis.

Dorsett cited the firm, steady hand of Tom Landry as the biggest key to the Cowboys' success during his career.

"We had a coach that could keep everybody in place," Dorsett said. "Everybody respected him. They had some type of fear. He was the coach, and he made all the decisions. And he knew that. There was nobody you could go above our coach to try to get something done. If Tom Landry made a statement, that's the way it was going to be."

When Wade Phillips makes a statement, that's the way it's going to be, as long as he ran it by Jerry first. Everybody knows that Jerry calls all the shots -- something that Jerry makes clear several dozen times each year.

When asked about Jerry, Dorsett gushed about what a great owner he was. But ...

"I would love to have played for an owner like Jerry Jones," Dorsett said, "but coaching is the coach's job."

Yet another reason why Tony was always one of my all-time favorite players. Great athlete and smart.

I guess this means the Cowboys won't win a playoff game for a while. Not with King Jerrah.

I'm sure everyone gets it now Bach, you can drop the agenda in almost every response.

Question, Bach. Would you have also loved to have played for Jerry Jones--just like the greatly athletic and intelligent Tony Dorsett mentioned?

 

[Monster Heel]

I would love to have played for Jerry Jones. Some slightly above mediocre years topped off with some gutless gagging in a big spots and I'd be on my way to a huge contract.

I would love to see the context of that quote.

Oh yeah, I could've took Jerry Jones' money just like the rest of 'em.

Tony is right though, the coaches should be doing the coaches. And it'd help to have some good coaches too.

Bach may blame that typo on Jerry Jones too.

Good catch!

 

[gmb85]

Hey, maybe it would help win a playoff game or two.

 

[tunahelper]

How has coach Jerry won more Superbowls than Tom Landry?

As it should be.
