Concerning Jerry Jones
Posted on 9/14/22 at 10:22 am

There is no question Jerry Jones ‘knows’ how to make money. He just doesn’t know how to run a sports franchise. Everyone on Earth knows this. Aborigines in the Outback know this.
He did one thing right and one thing only. He hired Jimmy Johnson. And tied to that was firing Tom Landry. He's done everything else wrong since then.
If the Cowboys have struggled all these years because of Jerry Jones ego and his refusal to hire people that would clearly do a better job running the team, does his 'ego' not tell him that just about every single Cowboy fan will be hugely relieved when he dies?
Not glad he suffered death. Just relieved he is out of the way. How does a guy with an ego like that not see this?

Most GM's are morons too. Look at the rest of the league. I understand what you're saying but if I'm an NFL owner I'd probably want to pick and choose just like he is.

I remember the carefully orchestrated media spin campaign in the NFL media about his personnel expertise because he assembled the greatest O-line in the history of football.
Yeah, about that......
Yeah, about that......

And they'll still pay $80 to park near the stadium after he dies.

I’m not even a cowboy fan, but he has 3 Super Bowl wins.

Pretty damn good decision, though.
I think two statements are true.
1. The Cowboys franchise has been better off with Jones having bought it in 1989 than if he hadn’t. Unlikely to have three Super Bowls and the super nice stadium without him.
2. The Cowboys will be better off when Jones dies and that statement has probably been accurate for many years.
Put another way: The Cowboys were probably run as well from 1989-1993 as any other five year stretch by any franchise in the Super Bowl era. It’s sucked since. The 1994 NFCCG and 1995 Super Bowl were the result of decisions made from 1989-1993.

The best definition of a good manager I have heard is when something is not working you CHANGE. If that doesn't work, CHANGE again. Jerry Jones won't change the top guy, himself.
Most would conclude, after so many years with Jason Garrett, that he can't evaluate and demand excellence at the head coaching spot. With player contracts like the one, Ezekiel Elliot and Dak Prescott are currently carrying around, it really is a hopeless endeavor to build a sustainable product. With that type of ongoing ego and stubbornness, I decided to move on long ago.

Yeah but after 25 years of pure shite, when is enough enough?

Hence why hiring Jimmy Johnson was the only good thing he did. True, Barry Switzer did win a Super Bowl, but that was with Jimmy Johnson’s players. There has been no playoff wins of any significance since then.

And another way to put it, the NFL instituted the first salary cap in 1994 and the Cowboys have sucked since they could stop buying teams

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.

Johnson was masterful in the Draft with the Cowboys. They didn’t win buying players during the Johnson era.

What Jimmy Johnson did with the Cowboys in his first five years was more impressive than any five year period by Belichick.
He took the worst team in football and made them one of the all-time greats (and beating all-time greats in the process, like the prime 49ers) in four years. The Walker trade and nearly all of his draft picks were genius.
What Johnson started with and what he created was remarkable.

He’s an awful micro manager owner.
Jerry hasn’t been relevant since the 90’s, and that was because of Jimmy.

Did he die? Google seems unaware.

More than any point in the past, he loves talking about the stadium and the Star development and all the money he’s made. You can tell that’s all he really cares about.
It really doesn’t make sense he wants to be GM. Use all that money and hire some competent people and win some SBs.
This is beyond a dead horse at this point, I realize, but he’s just gotten worse…

What if making money is his main objective? In that regard they've done a great job of running the franchise.
