Why did jerry fire Tom Landry?

[Jarv]

Can someone remind me?

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Ego

 

[HungryLion]

Wow.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Because it was his time and instead of letting the guy he bought the team doing it, he said he would take the hit.

 

[Asklesko]

To show who was top dog

 

[Cydios]

And what happened when he hired the right guy?

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

To show who was top dog

Jerry is the little dog who barks and has no bite

So you're saying Tom was past his prime? Hmmm.

 

[Kwyn]

Because Tom was way past his prime and completely out of touch with the game and it’s players.

Truth was hard to hear then. Obvious now.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Can someone remind me?

Because no one with the Cowboys would do it.

 

[Tommy]

I think it was to hire Jimmy Johnson.

Hmmm...so when a guy is past his prime, he should be fires. Does that go for GMs too?

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Are we really still crying over this subject?

That was probably the best thing Jerry ever did in his football career. It was the catalyst to building a 3X champion.

This! I didn’t like HOW he was dumped but was glad he was dumped. He’d become stubborn and wouldn’t adapt. Like the owner now

I'm making a point about managers or GMs being past their prime.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

So you're saying Tom was past his prime? Hmmm.

Yes.
The team was getting worse.
And he did not get another HC job after that.

Also, it lead to Jimmy Johnson being brought in and three more SB trophies.

But Tom Landry getting fired back then has nothing to do with the loss tonight.

 

[Tabascocat]

If Jerry never fired Landry, Dallas would still be sitting at two championships.

 

[Jarv]

Yes.

Is jerry past his prime?

 

[Kwyn]

Hmmm...so when a guy is past his prime, he should be fires. Does that go for GMs too?

Absolutely. And Jerry never had a prime as a GM.

That's not why Tom was fired.
