PFT: Troy Aikman calls out Jerry for a 30-year Super Bowl drought

[75boyz]

Aikman is a blowhard who thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room.

If getting to a Super Bowl and winning it is the metric he’s using, how many teams can say they haven’t won or haven’t even been to one?

How many division championships and competitive teams, where you know the team can compete, have the Cowboys had in 30 years?

Let’s not rewrite history to make it seem they were all bad teams. All you can ask is if they can compete, everything else is a crapshoot.

Jimmy Johnson was hired by the Dolphins because they thought he had the “secret sauce” and he even had Dan Marino. How many championships did he win after he left Jerry?

None

Troy should put his money where his mouth is and run a team and see how hard it really is the be the last team standing.

Not sure of your whole attempt at putting lipstick on a pig thing here while oddly deflecting to a HOF former Dallas QB some sort of blame or guilt trip or whatever, BUT the 5 total playoff wins in 30 years with the same team builder in place is self explanatory.

The team builder is very poor at his job.

Stop man. In 30 years Jerry has a regular season winning percentage of 53%. A 5 and 13 playoff record and missed the playoffs 17 times. He is, has been, and will continue to be the problem. Even a terrible orgaization that practices under a freeway over pass with the chespest owner in sports made the SB and could have won in the lsst 5 years....the Bengals. You must be on the payroll. Jerry's record gets you fired 6 to 10 times in that time frame anywhere else.

I knew I shoulda scrolled up before posting.
Then I could just parroted "Yeah, what RS12 said." lol
And yeah, you get fired all 10 times with a track record like that.

Agree 100%.........it's no longer about blaming players and/or coaches. It has taken me a while to see it, but this is on Jerry 100%. At a very minimum, he should have a high-level assistant GM with some authority working under him and NO, not McClay. He is also part of the problem IMO.

The Jones family is a cancer on this once proud franchise.

Oh look ........ a guy who joined up this year just to defend Jerry and badmouth all time greats.

Here was his first post

If you hate Jerry so much, stop watching his team play games.

Otherwise, he brought the organization 3 trophies.

You Jerry bashers need to find a new hobby

Who does that sound like?

You had to just been born yesterday to have not known or guessed this i But old boy is cooking now.

The worst thing that ever happened to the Cowboys was Jerry winning so soon into his tenure. It made him think he had the right stuff to win continuously and underestimate or completely disregard the impact other people had on the team's success.

I was around here (and a couple of other Cowboys sites) back in the later part of those SB days, and i remember a poll question being asked during that period whether you would rather win 3 in succession and have a 30 year drought winning 1 a decade over that time frame. A majority said the former.

What's funny is it actually played itself out and I think the majority didn't realize what the drought would actually feel like. The ones who chose the latter said they would prefer to always be in contention and win the 1 occasional one every decade. It was an interesting thought experiment I never thought would play itself out.

Wow ....... you were on Cowboy sites in 94 and 95?

I do not think my parents even had internet then ...... that was pre google

 

[StarBoyz83]

Its not only the fact that dallas hasn't been close to a sb in 30 years. Its even worse they've only had 7 good seasons during that span.

[DanTanna]

Jerry drafted Quincy Carter. THAT should have gotten him fired ON THE SPOT! But noooo no no no no.....

 

[America's Cowboy]

It’s not just a SB drought
They can’t even sniff a NFCCG
The last 30 years

Jones biggest failure in my mind is his HC selections.

He will not hire a strong HC and give him the authority to do the job.

The one exception was Parcels who turned around the franchise

Parcells SUCKED. He was way over-the-hill by the time Jerry brought him over. Ol' 34 - 32. That was his record as a Dallas Cowboys head coach. That's not the record of a very good coach. That's the record of a very average head coach, and his teams were exactly that: AVERAGE. I would not include Parcells' name in the same sentence with the word STRONG.

How many division championships and competitive teams, where you know the team can compete, have the Cowboys had in 30 years?

It's a crapshoot where all NFL teams but 3 of us haven't even seen a Conference Championship game in 30+ years (I could say 4, but the Texans haven't been around that long). That's 9%

At some point, you have to wonder why that is. When 91% of teams can "crapshoot" their way into a championship game but the Cowboys, Dolphins, and Browns cannot, something institutional is probably the problem. What has been the constant over that timeframe?
