this. Most all of us are day to day. Just scraping by. Jerry runs the team like hes on a fixed income. Meanwhile, reality is, thats where he loses us fans because WE are truly day to day.

Jones has fired two multiple SB winning coaches. That appears to be the only way Jerry will come right out and fire a coach - he just has to win two SBs.
I would insert 'defending' before 'two-time' though, lol.

Hate playing devil's advocate for Jerry Jones but Tom Landry was just a condition for purchasing the franchise. The firing was handled disrespectfully but to Jones it was the franchise he wanted or Landry--and he did not want Landry.
On the OTHER hand, Johnson played mind games with a narcissist simpleton. Riled the guy up enough to end their partnership over essentially hurt feelings.
Johnson could have eventually resigned at some point when he was ready to go. Instead, there was Jones demanding equal credit, over the course of years, for accomplishments normally attributed to head coaches, managers, etc. in all team sports.
It did not take much. Little push here. Little push there. Then the faithful day came when Jones was already getting full of Johnnie Walker Blue Label, wanting to insert himself into a Jimmy Johnson gathering, and boast about what 'they' did. All of them stared at the fool.
It was the final push. Jones stomped off like a child. His mind was made up. "I don't need him. I know football. 500 head coaches can do what he did." The next day was March 29.
Instead of being a grown <expletive> man, taking a step back, and doing what pretty much ALL owners in professional sports do every day, he prevented himself from considering the only thing of importance:
"Should I be the only person, in NFL history, responsible for running off a two-time defending Super Bowl head coach over my hurt feelings?"
^ It was lack of inner fortitude that made it so EASY AND QUICK for him to agree upon such an incredibly stupid <expletive> decision. He thought of himself as a general manager of an NFL franchise but ended up acting like a McDonald's manager, who fired Fry Guy for looking at him sideways.
Dumb <expletive>.

Landry was toast when Jones bought the team, No One in the entire league would have hired him. Johnson was just a big baby that had to have his way no matter what, Johnson was nothing more than an employee. He failed to understand that, Goodbye…

By Jerry's statements, it's obvious that his main concern with running this team hinges upon money, rather than running a winning team. That fact reveals the poor circumstances that the Dallas Cowboys are confronted with, as long as Jerry and Stephen are in charge. It's way too sad.

He was itching to pull the trigger on Wade and make Garrett in charge. That’s why he didn’t let him bring in Dan Reeves to fix the offense.

He knows.. he just doesn’t want to sound cheap, so he calls it dead money.
