IIRC, Jimmy had full control of the team when it came to all football moves. It was in his contract. Jerry was not the GM when Jimmy was there. He was just the man that signed checks when Jummy told him to . Jimmy mentioned the full control clause in his contract many times in interviews. I don't just make stuff up. I know you wish I did because it would make it easier for you to live in the fantasy land where Jerry has been an asset as a GM, but Jerry made sure to never give another coach the power that Jimmy had. Jerry's ego won't allow it. On a personal note, I know you have been a fan for decades just like me. How can you defend Jerry the GM after all of the losing seasons? The Cowboys were winners under Landry and Johnson. After those two left, Jerry has made this team average at best . I hold it against him personally for taking a team that was known as winners year after year and making them into a joke in the NFL . All of the older fans should know about the glory days of this team and how it has declined. Notice I said Jerry the GM, not Jerry the owner. I have a 180 degree different view of Jerry as an owner. I am amazed that fans defend the man that has made the Cowboys into all talk, glitz and glamour with no substance on the field. Cheer him on though. I know you can't help yourself.
C'mon, always cherry picking to put down the present team.
Jason Garrett's record, including playoffs, is 42-32.
To his credit, Garrett has a 12 win season in just over four seasons.
One just can't play both ends against the middle, and trash both Jerry and coaches as well. Either take a whole picture, or move on without proving beyond rooting against.
In Garrett's second full season as head coach, the team produced the club’s third-best all-time total net yardage figure to date by racking up 5,994 yards.
In his first full year as head coach, Garrett guided the 2011 team to an 8-8 finish as the offense amassed 6,008 yards for the second-highest yardage output in franchise history.
When Jason took over a 1-7 team, mid season... he went on to guide a Dallas team to a 5-3 mark down the stretch. In the season’s second half, three of the Cowboys five victories were against teams that posted 10 regular season wins, while the three Dallas defeats were decided by a combined total of seven points.
Under Garrett’s tutelage, 13 different offensive players have earned 30 total trips to the Pro Bowl.
Now, carry the name tossing and missed comparisons on down the road. As yea, Jason had to completely rebuild a team and start off with a cap deficit, that no, Tom Landry didn't have as well.
And quit using the insult crutch that all old fans should just roll over and diss Jerry, no matter the parameters. You harp on the same blame and always leave insult on the table...my discussion with yourself are over...and all the way from Bill Parcells forward, can be expanded and constructed positively just as above with Jason.
I can make my own adult mind up for what is presented...and am tired of listening to no matter what, Jerry was crap at anything but paying bills. Don't even go further with afraid to confront the truth...
