All I know is what Jerry is doing is not working.One thing that is known, because Booger made it known, is that no HC will ever have the power Parcells did while he is alive.
He came with that "jocks to socks" quip and we really didn't know that he meant that. Because it did not start off that way with Johnson on board. He had bigger fish to fry like getting in the black and getting fans past the initial shock.
Well, he is "jocks to socks" now which is his right like it is with Mike Brown and was with Crazy Al and Paul Brown.
I do not think Booger has convinced himself that anyone else could do a better job than he can. And he sees all of these GM's fail and get fired and the one thing he knows is himself well, there is no way he could ever be hands off with this team.
We can make as much of that admission that he should have fired himself as we want but the fact is he didn't.
Booger in his mind is like what like Thomas Edison said. "I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways it will not work".
And if we are all really honest about this. He is not even close to the worst GM we've seen. He is just not what we want but I do not know who I would want. There seems to be the triplets in management, the owner, GM and HC that creates synergy on really successful teams. like it did for the Rams this season. All were on the same page and in for a penny, in for a pound. Those situations just compliment each other because while the delineation of power is exact, so is the common goal.
Booger through wearing two hats in that and having a malleable HC has really reduced the triplets down to a single act.
We have 27 years of evidence for that.
Is not that the definition of Insanity ?
Doing the same thing and expecting different results ?
