AND...………...would then THAT Cowboys team be considered the best of all time?
Who do you blame more for the breakup? Jerry or Jimmy?
As much as Jerry is a @#$%^$## for pushing Jimmy out, Jimmy is a punk for leaving. How do you leave when you are going for #3?
I blame them both. Two big egos that couldn't make it work.
YES. No question in my mind.AND...………...would then THAT Cowboys team be considered the best of all time?

Jerrah I think realized that many years later.Jerry's fault. The man who signs the checks is always responsible. Cutting off your nose to spite your face is never a good idea.
I think he realized it much earlier but won't admit it to this day. The fact Jimmy isn't in the ROH suggests the pain is deep.Jerrah I think realized that many years later.
I never personally heard that about Sanders.
What I DO recall is Johnson being critical of Jones signing Sanders and letting Harper, Stepnoski etc go.
This was his own voice, not a quote, so I know he said it.
The two wouldnt seem to add up, but ok.
The question was do we win MORE if he stays, and I'm not sure the answer is definitely yes.
Do they not have the turnovers vs SF if they have a different coach? That's impossible to say.
Green Bay had caught and surpassed them heading into the 96 range.
Sure, maybe they win another.....and theres absolutely zero doubt they are a better team with him there, but again if there no Sanders, I don't think 95 happens, and I don't recall at all where Johnson was lobbying hard for him. If he was he was being hypocritical afterward, hence my comment.

Most people forget that Jimmy had stated he was out as HC after the Super Bowl. I always wondered how much of part that played with Jerry.
And yes if Jimmy stays the Cowboys win 4 in a row.
And fell behind by 21 due to that. Hindsight is 20/20, but I don't think a JJ coached team would have made the blunders to fall behind 21.Four in a row.
They went into the 94 NFC championship unprepared, not mentally sharp.
But Jerry didn't actually take over all of the HC duties until after Wade came on board. (sorry stupid joke-move on, but when I see JJ I think Jerry, not Jimmy)And fell behind by 21 due to that. Hindsight is 20/20, but I don't think a JJ coached team would have made the blunders to fall behind 21.
We'll never know, but the odds were in Jimmy's favor. They went 12-4 & made it to the NFC Championship game in Switzer's debut season. They were a ridiculously talented team.
