If Jerry kept Jimmy around and just stayed out of the way Dallas would have been the Patriots before Tom Brady ever started his run. They had all the right pieces and Jimmy knew exactly what players he needed coming out of the draft each year to keep the team winning championships. Classic case of pride coming before the fall with Jerry running everything into the ground. Damn shame too.

Deepest respect for Troy. Had a similar experience with Bill Parcells in Jupiter, Florida at the Lighthouse Restaurant. My wife and I were seated next to a table where he and another gentleman who might have been an assistant coach were having a conversation. Coach Parcells had two biscuits in front of him (can’t remember what the other man had) but he didn’t touch the biscuits. He talked quietly and when they were getting up to leave he looked over, smiled, and said “Good morning, are you Cowboys fans”? I got up, extended my hand, and said, “Yes Sir we are presently Cowboys fans but most importantly, we are Bill Parcells fans - wherever you go we are behind you and your team” - a moment we will never forget. Very kind gentleman!!

The problem with the Cowboys is its owner. It has been since Jones took over. He's a great businessman and understands marketing. The issue is that he isn't a coach or a scout and has no business heavily controlling that aspect of the team like he does. Well, let me rephrase. He is the owner and.has.every right to have his hands in coaching, scouting, play calling and whatever else, but that is why the Cowboys can't get over the hump and why they reached their pinnacle in the early and mid 1990s. The great coaches and great players get tired of Jerry's shit pretty quick. His ego will never bring the Cowboys back to their former glory. 🤷‍♂️

@TheNewRevolution 5 ай бұрын

I was born a Cowboys fan since they were my dad's team. I've been watching them since 1984. I remember when Jones bought the team. He immediately pissed everyone off by firing one of the greatest coaches in NFL history, Tom Landry. Believe me when I say that everyone was very skeptical when he brought in Jimmy Johnson. He was a college coach, and that almost never works. Then they trade away Herschel Walker, who was by far the best player on the team. All the Cowboys fans were livid. But we could all see that Jimmy totally fleeced the Vikings. But they had not proven they could do anything with draft picks or building a team. It wasn't all great. They took Aikman #1 overall but many fans forget they also took Steve Walsh in the supplemental draft and that cost them a #1 overall pick. Yes...these 2 almost screwed Aikman by flirting with Steve Walsh, who was Johnson's QB at Miami. We could all see that Walsh wasn't fit to be Aikman's towel boy. It didn't take long to see that Johnson could coach and was going to turn the Cowboys around. When Jerry Jones ran Johnson off, we all knew it was over. I was actually surprised Barry Switzer won a Superbowl. The Cowboys won despite him not because of him. We watched Jerry Jones destroy one of the greatest teams in history. There's not a doubt in my mind the Cowboys would have won 5 or 6 Superbowls if Johnson had not been run off. Instead of the Cowboys being known as the best franchise in NFL history, we got to watch the Patriots do what Dallas could have done. I'm still a Cowboys fan, but I'm no Jerry Jones fan. Watching the Cowboys for 40 years has taught me that Jones does not know what he's doing. I would be shocked to see the Cowboys win another Superbowl under his watch.

That’s patently false nonsense. Andy Reid called Aikman and offered him the Eagles QB position the year McNabb was hurt late in the season. Aikman said he would come, but only if he was allowed to finish the job in the playoffs. Andy wouldn’t agree, so Aikman didn’t play for the Eagles. AJ Feeley did an admirable job at QB until McNabb came back.

I do, Troy has a better recording out there explaining what he meant. Ever since Jimmey Johnson left all the coaches after were Yes man and wouldn't properly discipline the team including Berry. Troy felt like he was the coach and it burned him out and he quit. Pretty much when Jimmey Johnson left the team started turning to garbage because there was no one to keep them disciplined. They only won that third Superbowl cause the league sucked that year. Even Aikman and others admitted that.

I don't know what his problem is. Switzer helped him transfer to UCLA and Aikman even took up for him with the NCAA investigation in 1989 that ended Switzer's college career. Something happened when they were both on the Cowboys. But Switzer wasn't why he retired. He was gone three years by the time Aikman hung it up.

His problem is how Switzer was as Cowboys coach. Switzer was lazy and just there to collect a paycheck. Aikman was pretty much the head coach during Switzer's tenure.

@@timdarnell7819 Maybe that was his opinion, but it had fuck-all to do with why he retired three years after Switzer was gone from the Cowboys.
