I think had Jerry been left alone that he would have hired Turner and that owuld have been that.
One thing really struck me at the presser. Someone had mentioned that he looked really old and it had me thinking. he was talking about his son and how he had done most of the leg work during the entire hiring process and that he thanked him for everything and the entire time he is getting all misty and crying and having to pause.
The guy is getting old and he knows it. i mean in 12 years he will have passed the average lifespan of an american male and he has to know that his time is running out. He has tried various things over the last decade and none of them have panned out and i think this realization has humbled him to a certain point.
There is no question that he wants to win badly and any question about that should have been answered when he hired Parcells. He will do whatever it takes.
10 years ago jerry would have hired Turner and that would have been it. He is a friend and a vestige of the glory days but this jerry i think sat down listened to Stephen and his coaches and scouts and made a decision based on that.
I really hope it works out for him cause he puts all he has into our team and id like to see that pay off.
