Tell me Again Why The Architect of 3 Super Bowls is not in the ROH?

[DandyDon52]

If we had hired Switzter? I don’t think so. Didn’t Jimmy have the keys to the castle in Miami? What happened there?

I think he lost motivation, after winning the 2 SB's, and he was stuck with marino.
He did build a good defense, but the offense was never that good.
Also at some point in there his mother died, and that took a toll on him. That was the thing that made him retire from coaching.
Also there was no herschel trade in miami. the only player they might have got some good picks for was marino.
and at that point people were aware of that trade and would not make a deal like that with jimmy.
That type of deal only works once.

Go see the players Jimmy drafted in Miami and put them in Cowboys uniforms and you would have 10 more Super Bowls, 1 extra Hall of Fame players (that War Daddy Jerry is always talking about), and no one would have heard of Tom Brady. Jerry deserves no credit for what a General Manager or Head Coach did in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys from 1989-1994.

I am sure you posted this either out of ignorance or foolishness. I hope it was ignorance so we could teach you the following:

1. Tex, and Gil had already approached Jimmy to replace Tom Landry with a deal in place before Jerry Jones back door purchase of the team. Gil and Jimmy were good friends.
2. Tex, Gil, Bob (Ackles), and Wooten (John) had already drafted and signed Irvin, Norton, Tuinei, Newton, Gogan, and Hennings before Jerry Jones. The architects had designed, and the construction had begun before Jerry. They then were in agreement that Troy Aikman would be the no.1 overall draft pick of the 1989 draft.
3. It was John Wooten that called Pittsburgh to make the trade for Emmitt Smith. John Wooten also, started the discussion with Jimmy to trade Herschel Walker, who back stabbed Tony Dorsett out of Dallas with Tex and Gil. So it was both a great move and payback to a back stabber. Every scout knew Walker had no vision as a RB and it was a matter of time before size and speed would decline sharply. Wooten making the trade for Smith gave you the Triplets.
4. Jimmy had ties with Bill Walsh who was mentoring him in order to get him to replace Walsh in SF knowing the Cowboys wanted the same for Johnson to replace Landry in Dallas. So Johnson had a good read on Haley through Walsh who loved taking Big Time Players from small schools (see Jerry Rice, John Taylor, Tim Mckyer, etc.). Haley was one of his favorites, Haley respected him, and it was Walsh who told him Haley was smart so he could be reasoned with as Jimmy said.
5. When Jerry fired Bob Ackles (who would be Johnson's GM in Miami), ran off Wooten, and held out Emmitt Smith, that is when Jimmy became very annoyed with Jerry in Dallas. Jerry was just owner only until 1993. Jimmy, Bob and John did all the personnel moves, FA moves and trades. The payment to Walker was what Jerry did to put his stamp. Herschel did not have a no trade clause and the NFL had a collective bargaining agreement. So that million dollars and tickets from Dallas to Minnesota was all Jerry Jones show off add ones that was unnecessary and Walker had no leverage against a trade.
6. If you take all the players Jimmy drafted in Miami and put them on the Cowboys, you would have 10 more Super Bowls, 1 more Hall of Fame Player (see that War Daddy Jimmy drafted named Jason Taylor that Jerry can not find), 2 more Ring of Honor members, defense would have stayed no.1 for 10-12 years, no one would have ever heard of Tom Brady, and Randy Moss would have been a Cowboy.
7. Jerry got in the Hall of Fame because of the TV deal he made for NFL owners, and the marketing/branding money he showed the NFL. I am sure America's Team was doing fine on TV and branding before Jerry Jones.

How do I know this? I saw the movie about Jerry Jones building the Dynasty of the 90's. It was called Truth, Lies, and Video Tape.

TLDR

Find a players' contract with Jimmy Johnson's signature on it, then call me back.

Bingo.. Jimmy enjoys rewriting history to enhance his own legend. I don't even get mad at him about it.. but any time he says "I had final say on all things football.." we know he's lying because that would mean a man with Jerry's enormous ego who had just emptied his bank account to buy the team just sat in the corner grinning and let somebody else spend tens of millions of his hard earned dollars. And remember before the Super Bowl wins the Cowboys (and Jerry) were not exactly rolling in dough. They team struggled financially until they started winning again so the "Jimmy go ahead and put us deeper in debt and I won't even be involved" conversation has zero chance of ever having happened. I don't know why this bothers people so much. Sure Jimmy was the one with Jerry's ear for that time. Just like it would become Lacewell for a minute.. and later Parcells.. and now McClay. The Cowboys success of lack thereof in acquiring talent is not about how smart Jerry is.. never has been.. It's about how smart the guys he listens to are.
