Dallas Cowboys vice president Charlotte Jones Anderson said her father Jerry Jones is loyal to a fault. Criticism hurts him deeply but he always remains a resilient optimist, even behind closed doors.

If it really bothered him he would have hired a football guy years ago to do the job he's incapable of doing. He's an egomaniac. The sooner he's gone the better

This is ********. If Jerry became tired of being criticized then he would have been fired idiots like Garrett and linehan years ago, and placed the organization in better position to succeed with competent coaching staff.

Nobody is freaking forcing him to continue rolling out what he has for years. He could start doing firing right now just like the browns and others.

Jerry knows he gets destroyed for his flaws and sits on his ***. I dont want to hear that sympathy ****.

…….then he looks at bank account and almost instantly begins to feel better

Trust me, people with money are human just like you and me. They have to live in the same world we do and if even if their life is easier by default it doesn't mean they don't go through things. Jerry is absolutely loyal to a fault and he's a frustrating owner at times but I don't think he deserves the criticism as a person.

Just a fun little story, one of my buddies that goes to Clemson has a roommate who is a big Commanders fan and he told me he was at a football camp a few years back (I think he played in HS and works with Clemson's football team in a sideline capacity) and said he met Jerry Jones and was shocked with how nice and genuine of a guy he was. I know sports are important to us and all, but at the end of the day...

Well then hire a GM and let the guy that you are paying millions of dollars bear the criticism

Jerry will still be blamed.
Fans and media will say...Jerry has a puppet for a GM.
GM sucks, Jerry needs to fire him.

If it works.
People will not give Jerry credit for hiring a GM.

These stories and our actions the last two weeks are just signal flares that Garrett's judgment day could be coming.

Eternal optimist. THAT right there is the biggest reason why Jerry is a horrible GM. If you cant critique your situation with an unbiased mind frame, then you cant properly analyze the problems.

Because the team has not won a championship and rightfully so. However doing what fans want may be a good short term fix even that is not a solution since fans have the luxury of being wrong and do not have to face the music. As they say winning cures what ails you and unless or until this team wins it all Jerry will continue to catch hell.

Especially when you fired the best coach you ever had. With one of the best teams in history.

I understand your point about certain changes may not work but we are talking about Jerry keeping coaches that cant adjust for years.

Atleast give us coaching that can bring more to the table and see how that goes instead of staying with what you know isnt working.

Jerry isnt even giving it a chance in hell.

Most coaches and GMs avoid getting personally involved with players, due to the idea that it inhibits their ability to make the tough decisions that must be made to find success as a team. As I recall, Tom Landry was never a proponent of getting personally involved w/players for that specific reason. You can always say what you will but in the end, there's no denying that the results have a way of speaking for themselves.

Jerry always acts like he's a major risk-taker and wildcatter and always points back to firing legend Tom Landry and trading Herschel. But both of those decisions were made so easily because he had no attachment to the former regime or players. I've long said that trade never would've happen had Walker been drafted during the Jerry era. Those first couple of years we were able to make some hard decisions because they involved personnel and players from prior to Jerry buying the team. Fast-forward a few years and Jerry is giving ridiculous extensions to marginal and aging players, mainly because he overvalued those acquired during his tenure and he was personally involved and attached to him.

Just like with Landry, he had no ties to him and was easily able to fire him. I didn't like the way it happened but it was necessary it brought us Jimmy who ultimately was the one who built the team and the reason we won 3 championships in the '90's. And yes, Jerry gets credit for hiring Jimmy. But why was he on the list, because Jerry had ties to him from his days at Arkansas. The other names being mentioned were Switzer and Lou Holtz, both who had ties to Jerry because they coached at Arkansas.

We're just lucky that Jerry knew Jimmy and he was the one who was hired over Jerry's other buddies, Switzer and Holtz or else we'd still be looking back to the late 70's when talking about our last Super Bowl.

Not willing to debate the firing issue when neither man can even agree on if Jimmy was fired or quit. lol Jimmy says he quit and Jerry said he fired him. I said when it happened and feel the same today, both were in the wrong. 2 big egos
