Jerry Jones is surprised Cowboys have gone 20 years without a title

[daveferr33]

“Well, I saw how we got there for the first three that I was involved with,” Jones said at the Senior Bowl, via the Dallas Morning News. “I’m the most surprised person in Mobile, or the country, that we haven’t been back to and competed in a Super Bowl. But I know firsthand that you can go from the outhouse to the penthouse, and I’ve experienced it. Consequently, that fact has always driven me to know that it’s just around the corner. There’s a pony in here somewhere.”

I am not surprised at all. I am more surprised that we are able to win the division and a wildcard game every once in a while given the organizational structure.

Lol....in denial about what the real problem is. What a fool.

In 20 more he will still be.

Shadup Jerry, you're the reason!

He's surprised, huh? Did it sneak up on him?

Yep, we've been so close so many times. It was right there w/in his grasp . . . . .

I think it's funny that the reporters are so inept that they won't ask the next obviuos question.

The question I wish they would ask:

"Mr. Jones, when you were in the oil business, did you assume the role of Chief Geologist?"

The local reporters here never do. I wish I could get a hold of a media pass and ask what they won't.

The question I wish they would ask:

"Mr. Jones, when you were in the oil business, did you assume the role of Chief Geologist?"

....and if a reporter dared ask, who?

Locally, I can imagine Dale Hansen doing this.

Don't know who might nationally.

They really should. It's not bashing the team. It's a legitimate question.

I think that is a great analogy.

But I know firsthand that you can go from the outhouse to the penthouse, and I’ve experienced it......... that is the flaw in his thinking, and shows
he will never build to it, he wants to "fix" and (win this year) every year.

"everything is going to be fine"
"Romo will come back next year and it will all be better again:

Ok Jerry, gotcha

I bet he is. He wanted people to think it was his drafting, not Jimmy's, that built the SB teams. Now he's going to act surprised when it was his decisions that only led to two wildcard wins in 20 years. I'd have to laugh if I wasn't a Cowboys fan.

 

[rynochop]

From executive of the year, to back to a know nothing Arkansas hick, lol.

 

[DandyDon52]

It is the 40 year old brain hard at work !!

But kidding aside should he not have been surprised long ago ??
and many other times along the way?
Jerry thought the Galloway and Roy Willams trades would get him a SB appearance and win, but surprise surprise, not even close..

I think this past off season the jones boys were thinking SB in 15 for sure, they didnt need murray, they had Hardy, Rolando,Crawford
Lael, Gregory, Lawrence in 2nd year, McF , and Byron jones.
What it was is a house of cards, and it came toppling down mucho quick.
