Twitter: Jerry Jones: If I don't change, I'm not successful

[atlantacowboy]

Its great that schotty is changing the culture bc it wasn't a winning culture. The problem is that schotty has never won anything and the team was 7-9-1. Not exactly a Vrabel like start. So, who knows where this cultural shift is leading us? So far, no where.

LOL..."...this is big one Lamont..." *hand to heart*

AUNT ESTER?? LOL

 

[Jipper]

This is exactly how I feel.

While I can understand both frustration and skepticism based on the past, it’s undeniably a change in the way Jerry has operated.

Anyone who doesn’t see that clearly doesn’t want to.

Yeah I hope its step after step and we keep seeing small measurable changes - we need it as a fan base in the worst way

You are just playing yourself with thinking like this. Jerry doesn't want to change enough for the real issue - himself as GM. If he ain't changing that then this all just a turd hunt.

 

[Cowboys5217]

Alright some of yall are just dug into the sand and won’t even try to see an alternative. That is yalls right, we will see when free agency starts.

I'll "see an alternative" when we have a different GM. Until that happens this is all just B.S. and the same results will be had.

 

[Cowboys5217]

As i have said, He knows his time is coming. Glad it took Shotty for him to realize he needed to change his ways.

He's is not changing his ways. He is still keeping himself as the GM.

 

[GMO415]

I won't waste my time reading his nonsense.

 

[Mikexike]

He's is not changing his ways. He is still keeping himself as the GM.

Moreso letting his staff deal with the football stuff and he just signs off on it. Can't change everything.

While I'm not a fan of columnists making articles about themselves, there was some good stuff in here. Forget the nonsense about "changing his ways" (only time will bear this out). How about this in regards to Parsons:

However, the same could have been said for Micah Parsons at this point last year. Both sides were in agreement about a future in Dallas for the All-Pro pass rusher, and it would just take some sitting down and hammering out. That obviously ended badly. Could that influence what is ahead for Pickens? ​

​

“There’s nothing fragile about [Pickens] or his makeup,” Jones said. ​

​

“That goes back to his love for football,” a team official sitting at the table said. “I agree,” Jones said. “It goes back to his commitment to how he loves football, his enjoyment being around his teammates and how he enjoys being coached.”​

​

Shots fired at Parsons. While it's a little catty, I can't say that I disagree in regards to Parsons.

But, for those in the camp of thinking that Jones has changed, see this line. It sums up the last 30 years.

Sources behind the scenes have said that while Pickens has been a great teammate and player, he still has had some issues with tardiness to meetings. I had to ask if that would influence anything that’s ahead in a negotiation. ​

​

“I’ve missed a few myself,” Jones said with a laugh. “Something came up.”​

Players do what is tolerated by the team. It explains everything.

“There’s nothing fragile about [Pickens] or his makeup,” Jones said.
“That goes back to his love for football,” a team official sitting at the table said. “I agree,” Jones said. “It goes back to his commitment to how he loves football, his enjoyment being around his teammates and how he enjoys being coached.”

This is Jerry’s way of manipulating fans into holding Pickens to a “love of the game” reason to be paid less.

He’s so transparent. Say nice things about Pickens loving football, loving the teams and loving the coaches as a reason to lowball him.

When Pickens gets to the negotiation table, this is out there as chum for the fans to turn on Pickens and say “hahaha, told you this loser was all about the money. He doesn’t love anything but the Benjamins!”

Jerry will just shrug and say “well, I thought I had an understanding of what was important to him (God, Family, Cowboys). I guess I was wrong.

It’s classic Jerry.

One of the things that have been done differently in the last year in the franchise’s doors in Frisco is how the team handled the hire of Parker. They interviewed nine candidates — by far and away the most in franchise history for a coordinator opening. They were put through a carwash-like process that sent them to individual big wigs in the Cowboys’ front office: head coach Brian Schottenheimer, vice president of player personnel Will McClay, other coaches, Jones himself. Jerry Jones made it clear that he spoke to every single candidate, but he also emphasized just how much he entrusted Schottenheimer during the interview process. “I saw it last year when he was more involved with the offensive coaches last year that we hired,” Jones said. “And I saw the energy and cohesiveness.” In evaluating that on the opposite side of the coin of what happened with the process of hiring defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus and his staff, there was a clear difference last year. Eberflus was chosen by the front office without much of a search, and his staff was brought in almost immediately — mostly from his last spot in Chicago.

This was a very good read. Jerry talked about Christian Parker signing and Schottys influence on the culture. Check our rest of the story down below and discuss

30 years too late, Jack.

 

[zekecowboy]

Well golly gee!! It took the guy 30 yrs of failure to realize he needs to change the way he does things? I am so impressed!!!

The only thing Jerry does is change his spin on the Barnum Bailey circus.

 

[Mannix]

Shut up Booger....nobody but Rambo believes you!!!

 

[plasticman]

Jerry, that "revelation" came 30 years too late.

You will not change,

From a football perspective, you are not successful and that is what history shall record.

 

[conner01]

The only changes Jerry will make is the line of bull manure he feeds the media.

Hopefully he does change. I think the hiring process seems to be different. Hopefully FA will be too. Imagine having your staff involved in FA lol

 

[gimmesix]

Absolutely fair to be skeptical but this hiring and the process they went about is different from the past....let's see if it continues into FA

I think it varies depending on the coach. For instance, Mike McCarthy brought in Mike Nolan his first year and Nolan brought in several staff members. That was not a Jerry hire. Now, they did keep Kellen Moore on the offensive side, but considering that McCarthy was an offensive head coach, that didn't matter greatly. Don't know if Quinn the next season was a Jerry hire because McCarthy got his shot wrong or if McCarthy wanted him.

 

[SlammedZero]

Prove it to us come Free Agency.

 

[kevm3]

What he really should be saying is if he doesn't hire a GM he will never win a championship

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

im pretty sure Jerry has been saying this for the past 30 years .
