Are we discussing Jerry Jones' regrets? Or people projecting what they think Jones regrets?

Jones does not regret anything. He thinks he is a qualified football executive.

Jimmy Johnson disrespected him. Jones' response? Having a hissy fit and doing nothing to retain a two-time defending Super Bowl winning head coach.

Jones knew he saw a franchise caliber quarterback in Dak Prescott within three months into his rookie season. The only regret Jones may have about his unwavering commitment to Prescott is the amount of money he pumps into one position in order to retain his choice. Otherwise, Jones regrets nothing concerning Prescott.
How did Jimmy disrespect Jerry?

How did Jimmy disrespect Jerry?
Answer: by Jimmy Johnson not conforming with Jerry Jones' need for public accreditation of him re-making Dallas into Super Bowl champions. It was not a one-time occurrence but the reported last time happened nearly a week before their infamous parting on March 28, 1994. Los Angeles Times' Bill Plaschke wrote an abbreviated account of the incident (link).

Jones' narcissism is classic Little Man Syndrome. Johnson toyed with Jones as easily as he masterfully brought out the best in players (dude's college major was psychology). In the end, Jones was so flustered, in not getting the broadcast praise he coveted, that he literally got mad and couldn't take it anymore.

Jethro regretted firing Chan Gailey too soon. But he hasn’t publicly admitted many mistakes . Randy Moss was another admitted oversight.

I get the anti-dak sentiment, but I really believe Jerry's biggest regret is having to let Ware go.

Jerry is loyal to a fault, and they've been gun shy with the cap and about utilizing FAs ever since/

I'm sure Jerry is watching this doodoo show and having serious regrets. Top 3 has to be....

1) firing Jimmy
2) giving Dak his first big contract
3) giving Dak his second big contract
Nope...he doesn't regret any of that.

Just watch, he's gonna double down yet again on these very things.
