Are you saying that he should not have fired Landry? Landry was well past his Sell By Date when that occurred. Johnson was done at that point, even the players have said it. Parcells had just lost his brother, he was done as well unfortunately.
I am saying what is true. Jimmy was at the Owners meeting and had just hired Tom Ciscowski, and interviewed Mike Zimmer through the Campo connection. After being fired, Jimmy Johnson went to his parents and said Jerry took his team away. So Jimmy being done is revisionist history and untrue.
T.O. (the player), Romo the fumble, and Jerry Jones got Parcells out the door. It was not the lost of his brother. He was ran off by Jerry Dumbo GM Jones making the TO decision and coddling of Romo. He had a succession plan with Sean Payton. But told Sean to take the New Orleans Saints job. You do not retire to the Miami Dolphins as President and hire everyone he left in Dallas after he got Sean to the Saints.
Was Landry really over as a Head Coach or was the roster bare and the injury to Danny White caused him to have 3-13 season with Steve Pathetic Pelluer at QB? Landry was failed by his bad personnel decisions (playing Pelluer as a starting QB) not on field coaching decisions. Remember Landry worst years in the late 80's was 7-9, 7-8, and 3-13. Gil and Tex had already contacted Jimmy Johnson to replace him after the 1989 season but for a Bright Bum. Landry hired George Hill as DC who would have been a transition DC coach for Johnson staff once he got to Dallas, and hired Jerry Rhome as QB and OC assistant to prepare for the 1989 season. So, his coaching mind was still strong.
Keep drinking that 26 year old Jerry Dumbo GM Jones Kool Aid looking for the Arlington Jonesboys to become the Dallas Cowboys..
