Jimmy wouldn’t have won those Super Bowls had Jerry not bought the team. And this isn’t some ringing endorsement of Jerry, but he does deserve credit for hiring Jimmy. That’s Jerry’s ONLY contribution to winning those Super Bowls. Almost 3 decades of results bears that out.
Jerry hired Jimmy and had to sign off on every move Jimmy made. He deserves at least some credit for those teams. He hired the right man for the job and allowed him to make the moves necessary to build a great team that dominated the 90s. Some fans act like the organization has been crap ever since Jerry bought the team. I get that fans are frustrated at what’s been going on the past 28 years, but for some to say the Cowboys would’ve been a lot better off had someone else purchased the team is ridiculous. I had one fan tell me that he would give up the Cowboys three Super Bowl wins in the 90s just to have someone else running the team.
We’re all frustrated, but some are just blowing stupidity out of their butts. Just look around the league at what a few other teams are going through. What’s going on with the Cowboys isn’t nearly as bad as what it could be.
Your assessment that Jerry deserves credit for buying the team and thus is partially responsible for winning the 90's SBs is 100% accurate. It's his moves after the 90's that has many of us so disappointed. 28 years is a long time for an old fan.Jerry hired Jimmy and had to sign off on every move Jimmy made.

I was here too. The franchise had become very stale - we were committed to a legendary coach who oversaw three straight loosing seasons. Jerry came in and righted the ship.
You had a like coming until that last sentence. True, it could be worse, like Cleveland. But the goal ain’t to be the cream of the crap.Jerry hired Jimmy and had to sign off on every move Jimmy made.

I’m not giving him credit for buying the team. I’m giving him credit for making the right move at HC after buying the team and allowing his HC to do what was necessary to build the team. Jerry could have bought the team and started doing what he’s doing now, by doing things his own way. He allowed Jimmy to do it his way. Jerry wanted to start doing things his own way after the team began having great success, which helped fracture his relationship with Jimmy. Once Jimmy moved on, Jerry began wearing all the hats and the Cowboys have been stuck in the mud ever since.
Just to be clear, I’m in no way satisfied with the results the last 28 years. All I’m saying is it could be worse.
Jimmy was only coaching the Cowboys because of Jerry. No Jerry, no Jimmy, so SB titles.
what succesfull owners? You mean like Robert Kraft??? Hes about to experience, or IS experiencing his own run of garbage years.
And Jimmy couldn't win in Miami without Jerrah.
well, if you had taken the time to actually READ, it clearly stated the paternity test was ordered in Dec and has been delayed. Even if it comes back he is the father, he will owe her ZIP.
im just curious..... im guessing half or more of the teams in the NFL have not won a SB since the 80s.... some, never. Do all of them have meddling owners? How many of those teams have gone through a half dozen or more real football GMs and still no titles? Jerry was the captain on a D1 national championship football team. That alone probably makes him more qualified than most GMs in the league. George Lynch had never coached or been in any front office... so he had little to NO qualifications to be a GM, and yet there he is, being pretty good at it.
lets see.... 54 years for the Jets, but yet nobody ever mentions that.... do they.
Very true! When the right mix of people come together great things happen!
so you some how take glee that Jerry wont get wat he wants, which is the same thing you want????? smh, ok, whatever floats your boat.
this case is going nowhere. The attorney for plaintiff tried to make it a good thing... Im very happy that this case is moving forward....bahahhahahahhahahhahahah
We're not Jets fans, are we?
Well, Jerry did have to buy the team, hire Jimmy, give him authority and agree to what Jimmy wanted to do, so while Jimmy was the football guy that made great decisions that needed to be made, we cant pretend that Jerry didn't create the situation for it to happen
IM not talking about in this forum, im talking about the media. Have you EVER heard a media talking head mention how long it has been since the JETS last SB title? I havent. Ive also never heard them mention the fact the the Niners have gone longer with no title than the Cowboys have. Or the Browns, Jags,Chargers, Raiders.... and on and on and on. Because nobody cares about those teams. It is what it is.
