re: Concerning Jerry Jones

He did one thing right and one thing only. He hired Jimmy Johnson.

Jerry Jones has hired 8 different head coaches since he became owner. All but one had a winning record with the Cowboys. Dave Campo was the only bad hire.

You can argue that others were bad hires because even though they had success, they didn’t win as much as they should have. However, that would also be admitting that Jerry did something right by providing that coach with a talented roster.

Jerry is a wildcatter. A steady, consistent, reliable approach is not in his nature. He’s also rich and content. His early days of risk taking and innovation are over. He’s not going to take a chance on an outsider or innovator when he wins just enough to fool himself he’s doing most things correctly.

He’s only comfortable with people he knows or retreads.
