To be fair, the NFL loves retreads, but yes, majority will never see head coaching jobs, but as we learned for fact, most of that is not the coaches fault but clearly Jerry meddling.

asi i said, you want to be successful, leasve Dallas, you want money, come to Dallas. Simple as that

In two seasons Chan won 10 games his first season 8 his second and back to college ball until 2010. In three years with Buffalo he won 16 games.

I had to look it up myself after mentioning it in another thread. I only remember him as an OC As well, but I was wrong.

This is because Jerry doesn't value the coaching profession. He doesn't respect the dedication it takes to build and coach a champion.

He showed the world that in 1994 when he closed down the bar with press members and belittled Jimmy citing that anyone could coach that team and win. The worst thing that happened (and Jimmy mentions this in his latest book), is Switzer winning that third Super Bowl proved Jerry right. He inherited a train running down the tracks and didn't wreck it. He had players that knew how to win and a staff that knew how to prepare. Jerry's been chasing that tail ever since.

Hanging onto Garrett as long as he did and letting him stick around the Star for two more weeks to conduct "exit interviews" was peak Jerry weirdo behavior. If there was some way he could've sold Garrett to the fan base at that point, I truly believe he'd still be the coach of the Cowboys. Same guy could only get a coordinator gig on a bottom feeding Giants team before being ousted into television.

At least guys like Chan, Campo, Parcells, Wade, and McCarthy the fraud were football people who experienced success in this league in varying levels. Garrett was a never was, and that extremely long charade, to me, is truly unforgivable.

Heard this on the radio today.

What head coach hired by Jerry ever got another head coaching job in the NFL.

One. Jimmy.

And Jerry calls himself a "football man." Lol
That is the issue. Jerry only hires people he feels comfortable with or a coach he can trust. I don’t see It changing. I can’t see him hiring one of the young up and coming coordinators. Maybe Stephen can talk him into hiring the USC coach.

Jerry is so delusional. Wade was the DC in Denver. He was always a very good DC, but was always mediocre as a HC.

Of course, it makes sense to Jerry because when Parcells left Jerry said he had to hire an experienced 3-4 HC. In reality we couldve hired a better HC and a 3-4 DC, but Jerry actually viewed Wade as a DC with the faux HC title. Its why JJ hired Garrett as OC before he hired Wade. Its also what he did when he hired Chan, Campo and Garrett. He viewed them more as coordinators while he was the de facto HC.
Jerry devalued the HC, scoffed at what he called “walk around” HCs. In reality, JJ just didnt want a strong HC like Jimmy who had real authority and control.
The man and his ego has undermined the team for over 25 years.

Hmmm… isn’t that how the hiring process goes in all walks of life. Doubt there too many people out there hiring an employee they’re worried may decapitate them in the dead of the night!
That’s whole point of doing interviews… is so they can hire someone they’re comfortable with a trust!
Jerry’s issue is he has poor instincts and goes with his gut… and thinking the decision was made because he had excess gas!

Jerry has never really interviewed anyone for the Cowboys job. He always hires people he knows or he can control. Jerry wants to be comfortable that is why he won’t hire Bill. To your point of that happens in real life, not really. Pittsburgh, Washington, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Houston, ect are examples of teams that actually interviewed coaches and did not do the dog and pony show.

This doesn't mean anything. An idiot owner of a bad team who changes coaches often will have better chance of having more HC getting rehired.
The Patriots have been the best team for 20 years and Kraft only has Parcells that got rehired as a HC.

I have said in this forum many times that outside of falling out with Jimmy Johnson...staying in bed with Garrett as long as he did is the worst thing Jerry Jones has ever done
