Really though I would like to see some specific examples of what he has done wrond and so far all I see is the 'one constant' generality BS. I just see it as fans looking for an easy answer and thus an easy fix. Its easier for them that way.
- First and foremost shouldn't have let Bill walk. Should have stepped aside, been an owner, and made Bill GM.
- He hired JG, and all but anointed him the HC, BEFORE hiring Wade as the HC. He undermined what little authority Wade was going to have at the get go. He further reenforced that giving Garret an unprecedented $3M contract to not leave, again making it quite clear Wade was on borrowed time here.
- compounding that further, when Ellis started the season behind Spencer, Ellis went to Jerry to complain. Next game Ellis started. TO did the same. And those are just the guys we know about. Jerry has a long history of coddling his players, even to the detriment of his hand picked coaches (Chan Gailey)
- He let Ireland and Sparano go to Miami. Then traded Fasano and Ferguson to them for a song, electing to keep Tank Johnson who has been less than worthless this season.
- The Roy Williams deal - should have been done in the offseason, or should have waited to sign him as a FA. THere was no reason to blow those draft picks for 10 games of Roy Williams, when another WR was not what was wrong with this team. It was a total panic move by someone who saw things going in the wrong direction and had no idea how to fix it. And it actually made things worse, because a team that already didn't have enough footballs to spread around got one more target that needed feeding.
- Went into the season with no backup QB worth a Geritol pill. You could make the argument the decision to go with Brad Johnson alone cost us the playoffs.
- How long was it before Felix got real playing time? How long before Choice even got a touch in a game? How long before they realized Brad Johnson was less than worthless and at least tried to put Bollinger in there? Yes that's on the coaching staff for failing to understand and utilize their personnel - the same coaching staff Jerry is vowing to bring back next year.
- How big is Hamlin's contract? He wasn't worth a nickel of it this year. The Barber contract was excessive too, he's good but he's not LT.
- A 4 year extension, $34M to a 35 year old wide receiver? Seriously? And that contract makes a known malcontent uncuttable, painting us into a corner if he gets really out of line this year.
- Jerry not only helped create the media circus that swirls around TO, Pacman, and later Romo and Witten - he revels in it. He even tried to sell us at some point that the team "thrives" on it. That was some thriving they did there in Philly....
- After the St. Louis debacle, Jerry became the first GM in history to dress down the team before the Head Coach. Why are they ever going to listen to Wade again?
- Was that Jerry Jones who basically called out Barber for being a wuss and not playing on his toe, and then Wade several weeks later saying they "just shouldn't have played him?" Why yes, yes it was.
I can keep going if you like.
