Why haven't we achieved the same results since?
WHY? Because Jimmy left, Norv left, wandstant left.
The reason Jimmys team was so successful was not due to any
one thing he did,
but many things that he did, all in combination.
Jimmy was like a stern Dad, loving but very demanding, and his kids/players all wanted to please him.
Even if they won a game, but played sloppy, Jimmy would get angry about the sloppy play, so the players came to know they had to
play their best every game, even when playing weak teams, that they could coast and still beat.
Jimmy preached conditioning, he would say the players in the best condition were the ones that were going to win each game.
His tough camps which I approve of could not be done today like he did them. And I am not a fan of going to Calif, which I think even landry did.
I think they should stay here and adjust their minds to the heat.
But as for practicing or playing in it, a coach needs to be smart and take some safety precautions.
Jimmy also would not hesitate to cut players, or coaches, to make a statement or improve the team.
He brought in norv later, he didnt start with him, and same for wandstant.
there were many many things jimmy did, that led to the SB team Dallas had briefly, He had total power, and was in a good situation.
and he made all the right moves, drafted well , traded well, assembled good staff's, not his buddies lol, and he coached well.
Jimmy did have 2 flaws, one was his ego, which was as big as jerry's, and he was quick to anger, and didnt cool down quickly.
That is why he left lol, jerry stepped on his ego, jimmy got mad and left.
Jimmy even says now jerry apologized, about the 500 coaches remark, but Jimmy said he wasnt coming back.
He blew a golden opportunity to win 3-5 SB's in a row, due to his ego, and his temper lol.
