Let's see the old Jerry! Snap to it bud!

Brave enough to fire Tom Landry?

It wasn't bravery. He totally miscalculated the reaction despite the fact that he hired a company to help him manage the fallout.

Years later that company admitted they had botched it and included the case in their training program.

I like the old Jerry that hired Jimmy by agreeing to give him total control of football related decisions, signed checks, and got out of the way.

That was the only version of Jerry capable of owning a team that could win the Super Bowl

Jerry is the same guy he always was.

After the books you constantly write on here, you can't be bothered to read something fully? That's wild.

Apparently, you've never picked up a real book, Maybe the best thing you've ever read is a magazine maybe a comic because if you think what I write are books they're barely even one page of a book so let's stop with the exaggerations and the dramatic hyperbole we don't need it.. Takes me laugh out loud when people literally call things I write novels when they're barely a couple paragraphs books and novels are much different than what I'm writing here.....

Just explained why, I didn't read it I had a headache, I was getting a migraine, Too much screen time, I just decided it wasn't worth it and? This is also why I use talk to text and rarely go back and fix things i'm on this place way too long i'm on Facebook and Twitter arguing about the cowboys far too often so I don't have time to make them prettier for you... Yes sometimes I'll look at something and go you know what it's very redundant there's no need to read it I know what it says it's just gonna continue the vicious circle of hot button debates that we have in here they used to call flame wars.. Yes I'm that old I still call it a flame war..

Mr. Jones,

I saw the Netflix documentary and remembered those 90's glory days, but the Jerry I see now is not the Jerry of those championship days. I won't even get into the bad trades or draft picks, or the coach undermining, or regular season records. I just want to state the obvious and that wildcatter oil salesman with energy to lift everyone 24/7 is no longer there.

What happened to the man who was brave enough to fire Tom Landry?! Brought in a college pedigree coach. Unheard of at the time! Or the guy that went and picked up Bill Parcells on his private jet and convinced him to coach the Cowboys in one sitting?! Your coaching hires these days are just full of personal comfort and security. We're the laughingstock of the NFL. We haven't see a bold coaching hire in a long time.

What happened to the guy who could still make it happen though difficult contract negotiations?! You didn't have to trade Emmitt away because he hurt your feelings! You ended up hugging him on the damn field as he broke the rushing record! Why do we have a Jerry now who last second trades away the best pass rusher in the NFL to doom his defense?! You used to give contracts to guys like Aikman with no hesitation. Now you wait until the very end as if you're afraid to sign anything. We watch as everyone else gets a deal and then you're forced to make that player the highest paid.

What happened to the Jerry who wasn't afraid to go make a splash on free agents. You signed Deion Sanders! The biggest free agent signing of its time! Now, this team is afraid to touch any free agent who gets above the league minimum!

The Jerry I remember is a guy who told the NFL to go chuck themselves and brought in his own sponsors. Told the Cheerleaders they needed to be sexy. Told the entire world he could win it with 1 of 500 coaches, and he did!

But that Jerry is long gone. If you don't have the energy, please pass it on. It's your team, you put your life savings into it and your whole family works there. I understand. And we're just fans who spend chump change compared to what you brought to the team, but we're also fans who were very proud of our team's dynasty, our team's swagger, and if you're not up to the job anymore, just sit down and please pass the torch.... The NFL is America's National Pastime now, and teams need to be run like it's 2025, not some legacy 1950's family organization. You used to be the guy who modernized everything, now you're the guy stuck in the past.

It was Jimmy Johnson, John Wooten, and Bob Ackles that rebuilt America's Team. They were the MC's (Chuck D) and Jerry was the hype man (Flavor Flav).

This is why Flavor Flav solo album was called "Hollywood" and not "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back."

Old Jerry gets you Trey Lance and Johnathan Mingo...please don't.

 

[morat1959]

What exactly did Jerry do besides buy the team and hire someone capable of running football ops while staying out of the way?

Then Jerry decided it was easy and could do it himself, and has failed even since….but his ego won’t let him quit and go back to what gave him actual success.

Forget it. It’s never happening again. He is neither capable or qualified and never was.

This!

I remember the days Jerry would face slap a mediocre player with his hairpiece!

 

[Creeper]

Jerry got drunk on Jimmy Johnson's success. He came to believe it was his success. When Jerry said there are 500 coaches who could take his team to the Super Bowl, he meant any team he put together had to be that good.
