I guess we would have to agree to disagree, but my belief is he did make every call with regards to our team...every single one of them...signing TO might have been Jerruh's idea, but both Jerry and Stephen were on record saying they talked to Bill numerous times, including the day he was signed and gave Bill a chance to nix the deal...he didnt
he got rid of Carter after one yr...he never gave Hutchinson the time of day and got rid of him too...how can you say Bill didnt have say so in that? He admitted Jerry put the sell job on him in the beginning with Zimmer, but he could have said no and could have run off Zimmer at any point afterward...he ran off other coaches didnt he?
Bill's done it all...if he didnt have total control, he'd have never agreed to coach here in the first place

But you admitted the QC and Hutch thing.
If he had total control he would have cut them in camp that first year or told Jerry he would not coach the team unless they brought in a vet QB.
If I recall correctly I think it was alluded to that jerry did do a bit of a sell job on QC and Hutch because he wanted them to be groomed.
You admit he let jerry do a sell job on Zimmer.
Bill may have went along with TO but once again I say that Bill and Jerry have been on record multiple times saying that Jerry has final say. So if Bill said no and Jerry said yes...it falls to jerry..something that has been said multiple times and it would seem something that was discussed prior to bill being hired because I think he even said that in his first PC with the team.
Jerry no matter what still has final say on who comes in because he is the man that signs the checks.
He has given bill more control than anyone since Jimmy. But this is Jerry's team plain and simple and nothing gets done without his approval.
