Were you following the Cowboys when they won their three championships in the 90s? I don’t skirt anything. He owns the team and his job is to make money. He won three championships and has become one of the most powerful owners in the NFL without hiring a GM. Although his team hasn’t won crap the past 20+ years the teams value continues to increase and no team is worth more than the Cowboys.
As long as the team continues to make money and fans continue to pack the stadium Jerry isn’t going to do things differently. As long as your business is making money and people continue to come you’re not going change. If you want Jerry to change how he does business don’t buy tickets to the games. Seeing empty seats will get him to change.
The Cowboys were my co-team, along with the Cards from 1960-68. The Ice Bowl pretty much made them my sole team because of how they played that game. One of the most inspirational performances I have ever witnessed.
From 1988-91, I lived in Harrisburg, PA. That was the time of Buddy Ball and the most venom filled Eagles fans fueled by his hatred of the Cowboys. I wore my colors during the 1-15 season.
I returned to Dallas in 92, just in time to see my team return to glory so yes, I was around for that and if you think living in PA for those 3 years won't galvanize your fandom, try it.
I am not arguing the financial success of the franchise but without Johnson, I do not think that springboard happens. And him having the hottest name in college coaching at that time, who is to say another owner of the Cowboys doesn't hire him and then doesn't get in an ego contest with with his employee? And without Parcells, the stayjum doesn't happen. Why do you think he hired the one HC that would bury him in the background?
Do not question my level of fandom because my disgust for this person is greater than my love of 3 rings. I can't even wait for him to go toes up because there's one behind him being groomed to be just like him.
