Twitter: Jerry as GM “You don’t fire yourself”

[CATCH17]

You've learned to rationalize it because it's Jerry. No actual GM would have his job for 24 years, go through half a dozen coaches, and win nothing.

Jerry the GM hasn't done his job no matter how anyone wants to spin it.

We have to find ways to win with him as the GM. That's just the reality.

Just like we had to find ways to win with JAson Garrett as a coach and building a team that could impose it's will with the ground game because our Coach was terrible at breaking down a defense with his play calling ability.


If Jerry hires the right coach and not some buddy this thing will turn around him because the talent is there.

 

[leeblair]

No he's not. Delusional fans that think this make matters worse.

History states otherwise.

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

I’m fast approaching the end of my patience with this franchise. This is beyond horrible.

It's become an abusive relationship for us fans. We keep holding on, thinking he will change.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

No he's not. Delusional fans that think this make matters worse.

And then there are some that think he's a great owner and an awful GM. lol

 

[Brax]

Cowboys are a hobby business, it is really sad that Jerry has brought this franchise to it's present state of mediocrity.

We have been a talent dependent franchise for most of this generation.

Where Jerry has failed us given we aren’t allowed a normal HC and front office situation is a great asst coaching support.

And while we’ve had some talent Id argue we haven’t had an Elite QB or defense which if you’re talent dependent would certainly help.

We are doomed.
Until Jerry is gone, its gonna be hard to be successful

Sad

Who is the bigger idiot? Him? Or us for watching?

Us for watching... But not because of JJ but because the NFL as a whole is awful but that's a different conversation. But without a doubt us. Jerry is the one making the most money of any sports owner and it's because of the fans that love to love or love to hate his team. Jerry is the genius here. Why change when you are the most successful sports team owner in the world? Once fans stop spending money is when Jerry will change.

 

[Bobhaze]

This is straight up lunacy. If you isolated this comment and substituted it for a CEO of a big corporation, it sounds even more crazy. And supports my belief he is surrounded by people that tell him what he wants to hear instead of receiving sound advice.

Great leaders have people around them who will tell them the truth and challenge their thinking. Weak leaders surround themselves with yes people who don’t challenge them. Or who surround themselves family members who have daddy issues. This is crazy town.

 

[Legend]

Jerry should hire Bill Belichick as new GM and coach for $10M-$15M a year after the Patriots lose in the playoffs.

That way Jerry will make a lot more $ and have a better chance of winning something relevant.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Uh, yes you do.....when you've made as many poor decisions as you have for the last 25 years.

 

[DallasEast]

Just a good ol' boy
Never meanin' no harm
Beats all you never saw
Been rubbin' fans raw
Since he and Jimmy were torn

Staightenin' the curves
Flattenin' the hills
Someday the mountain might get 'im
But common sense never will

Makin' his waaaaay
The only way a narcissist knows how
That's just a little bit more
Than common sense should allow

Just a good ol' boy
Wouldn't change if he could
Fightin' the system like a Daffy Duck Robin Hood...

YEEEEE! YEEEEHAWWWWW!

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

Jerry is a good GM.
But his fatal flaw has been his delusions and misplaced affections for his current and former players.
He gets played by them and they make out like bandits while producing nothing.

His fatal flaw is undermining coaching authority/power.

"You don't fire yourself"

You do if you suck. He can still be owner. Just stay out of football operations.

 

[Don Corleone]

We are doomed.
Until Jerry is gone, its gonna be hard to be successful

Gone? He’ll never leave. The old fart will demand he be pulled out of his casket and placed in the war room on draft day and in his sky box on game days.

 

[Don Corleone]

His fatal flaw is undermining coaching authority/power.

Which is why he needs to name himself the head coach.

 

[kskboys]

This is actually great news. This means that Jerry is hearing the rumblings that he should be fired. Maybe it'll make him fix this mess.

 

[Sarek]

He says he wont fire himself, but he didn't use that line of thinking when he hired himself.

No, he's not. He's a terrible GM.
