Love the stories, but that's all they are. Stories.
Of course you arn't going to hear coaches badmouth Jerry, especially not Garrett when he was just named the head coach. What's he going to say?
"Oh yea Jerry meddled with Wade's team, but he needs to keep his paws off of mine."
..get real.
Its widely known that Jimmy left here because he couldn't stand Jerry anymore and didn't let him operate the way that Jimmy wanted to. And they were good friends. Even Jerry's friend couldn't stand him after he came here and tried to coach for him.
Also, do you see any other owner come down onto the field in the middle of games? Stand and talk to the coaches? The players? That's not meddling or interfering at all? You don't think that's any kind of a distraction to the team during the game? REALLY??
Do you see any other owner sitting at press conferences, speaking out of turn and answering questions that normally the head coach would answer about the football team? Or sitting with the head coach, right over his shoulder answering things about how the team is doing, etc.. See any other owners doing that sort of thing?
As well, do you see any other franchise holding their training camp at 3 different locations? Providing a circus like atmosphere around the time of the year where your football team has to be focused on coming together and learning and trying to get our crap together to win football games? Any other teams do this? Not to mention make them practice on a hard turf that the players speak out against, because it causes more injuries?
Jerry is a meddler. He does things to make money and keep himself in the spotlight. Im sure he wants to win.. but his ego is so big that he doesn't even realize that he gets in the way of winning with his senseless behavior. Case in point.. he's still the GM of this team, responsible for the last couple drafts since Parcells and the guy who talked of winning a super bowl this year yet did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in free agency last offseason to make us better.
You believe what you want, but i've seen plenty that shows me and the other fans who see reality that Jerry is a meddler and his ego takes precedence over everything.
