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

[john van brocklin]

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.

Let’s be fair:
The tuna took over a team that went 5 and 11 3 straight years and had them in the playoffs his first year.
He built the team wade inherited that was really good.
I stand by my statement.
Love you AC! Btw

 

[Verdict]

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.

Troy Aikman: Cowboys’ championship drought is hard to fathom​

It’s really odd that Troy is harping on Jerry NOW after the makeover we had this offseason.

I think Troy is bitter that Jerry hasn’t catered to him and asked Troy to help out. Troy is a Cowboy legend as a player but I’m not sure that Troy is the football guy that he seems to think he is. He may not have been any better than Jerry.

IDK ...V
30 years?
At this point, Jerry's credibility is zero..........You could have none more ( for less money LOL)

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.

From the Netflix doc, I got the impression that Jerry didn’t like Jimmy being showered with all the attention for winning the SBs and Jerry’s response was to ensure that a coach never win another SB again. Jerry turned the team into a soap opera leveraged solely to the fact that they won 3 SBs and are now able to rely on manufactured drama to stay on the front page.

For sure, he can also walk around the locker room and give high fives. Make the press conference trade announcements. He can pretend he was a football guy just like he did with Jimmy running things.

This...is a big problem. Jerry wants to be "one of the boys" instead of a real GM.

Can't remember which game recenlty...a regular seaosn game the Cowboys won and he was in the post game locker room huddle celebration.

Super Bowl? Even NFC champions? Sure!

A regular season win. Dude.

 

[America's Cowboy]

well you never have shown much football judgement...

I've been more right/correct than most in here, so I definitely wouldn't challenge me if I were you.

Parcells left Jerry a SB contender and Jerry fumbled.
