Jerry and Jimmy knew each other since they played college ball at Arkansas in the 1960s. Their relationship was based on more deeply than owner/employee. Jerry micro manages, and they are both strong egos. Besides, Jerry totally disrespected one of the best football coaches in Tom Landry when he fired he and GM Tex Schramm as he bought the Cowboys.

What Jimmy Johnson doesn't say here, although has said in other past interviews, is Jerry Jones' stranglehold over the franchise solidified his decision to leave the Cowboys. Jones would always place himself over everyone else, to be the most visible person responsible for the success of Dallas...not the coaches and players. After Johnson left, the dysfunction spread over the entire organization, despite winning a Super Bowl under Switzer with the Johnson built team. Since then, the Cowboys have been an underachieving ball club at best.

Jerry wanted to be part of the “coaching club” with Turner and Dave W, but wasn’t allowed in. So essentially he fired Jimmy. The not having fun is complete BS, winning is fun.

Jerry is the single remaining denominator on the franchise, and they've won nothing meaningful since. The franchise became the wealthiest team because of the fanbase buying into a pipe dream...hope, not because of wins. Once the fanbase gets tired enough of pumping money in the Jones' direction things will change. This Cowboys fanbase has all the power that matters to Jerry...FINANCIAL. Have that stadium and attendance looking like the Panthers stadium did a few weeks back and things will change
@kendrickthomas78814 ай бұрын
Literally every franchise buys into hope, give me a break. The fan base won’t get tired of Jerry in a significant way - with their wallets. As long as the team is visible and profitable, and Jerry is alive, nothing will change. But I doubt the Jones kids will be any different. Were the fans spoiled in the 90’s? Yes, who wouldn’t be, they had an all-time great team. Unfortunately, every subsequent version of the team will be compared to that, and they just can’t compete.

Jerry wanted credit for some of the trades Jimmy made and that is ego B.S!
And the drought will continue for the cowboys fans until Jerry stays away from the coaching decisions.
Dallas needs to fire the GM and get a professional in that position.
The Cowboys would have been the Patriots before the Patriots (if that makes sense)
Jimmy is a real man. Jerry is a fake trickster who deceives Cowboys fans. I like Jimmy but I'm wondering if Jerry is intentionally trolling fans.
Jimmy Johnson is one of the best coaches to ever come along. Jerry Jones is a narcissist that can’t get past his own self. Dallas will never win another Super Bowl as long as this narcissist is the team owner and President.
He's the same politically. Loves other narcissist.
Play Along here Please.! I Own A NFL Football Team.! Jimmy Johnson is the Head Coach.. This is how it’s gonna Be As Follow’s… Jimmy Coach the Team.. I handle the Money Part..! How Hard is That???🤣😄🤣🤷🏾
Shut it
@@TL2354 🤫
When Dallas got punched in the mouth by Green Bay, Jimmy showed more intensity on Fox's halftime show than any of the coaches or players on the sideline. I hate what Jerry's done to this team.
come back jimmy please
Ask Troy Aikman who he has more respect for.🤔
Jerry is the single remaining denominator on the franchise, and they've won nothing meaningful since. The franchise became the wealthiest team because of the fanbase buying into a pipe dream...hope, not because of wins. Once the fanbase gets tired enough of pumping money in the Jones' direction things will change. This Cowboys fanbase has all the power that matters to Jerry...FINANCIAL. Have that stadium and attendance looking like the Panthers stadium did a few weeks back and things will change
Literally every franchise buys into hope, give me a break. The fan base won’t get tired of Jerry in a significant way - with their wallets. As long as the team is visible and profitable, and Jerry is alive, nothing will change. But I doubt the Jones kids will be any different. Were the fans spoiled in the 90’s? Yes, who wouldn’t be, they had an all-time great team. Unfortunately, every subsequent version of the team will be compared to that, and they just can’t compete.
@jasongress8764 Jerry being dead and gone is change enough. Fans have passed waiting on a turnaround that hadn't happened yet. Once his turn comes, that'll be change enough or at least a start of someone different at the helm, blood or not
Where's Artie Lang ?
Cowboy fan since 72..Jerry will mess up a wet dream iam so sick of his old A he needs to go to the ranch..old a..wtf
Oh, please. The players have had numerous chances to win, but didn't make plays.
Jerry screwed up and he knows it and ever since can never recreate the same success as that all time team with Jimmy. Look what’s happened with that team ever since. Back to back years of choking especially in the playoffs
Big mistake letting Jimmy Johnson go big mistake I love Jimmy love him
Jerry’s ego helped make Dallas a valuable franchise and Jedi mind tricked millions of fans into accepting false hope.
It's because we keep hoping that he would just go away and let the team be great AGAIN.
F the Cowboys but Jimmy Johnson is the main reason Jerry Jones has 3 chips!
And the Cowboys will never even make it to a super bowl again as long as Jerry Jones is in control.
Name one all time great NFL head coach that had "FUN". Being an NFL coach isnt a fun job
Fun means a lot of things to a lot of people.
Seems anything to do with Jerry Jones would be corporate America and greed. Probably would not be fun to work there.
And you're mad at how he's fattened the pockets of NFL owners and teams? Look at Jerry World. Say what you want about that guy, but 'he's a freaking business genius.
Jimmy was great ! But both Jimmy and Jerry at that time were ego maniacs! Something had to give
That's what alot of these commenters don't understand. Jerry had the power of the owner and Jimmy wanted to keep him out of football. Well, Jerry owned the damned footballs.
That was pathetic, hiring Barry Switzer to replace him. The ONLY reason Barry won a Super Bowl, was the fact he had Jimmy's team
Jimmy should of taken a month off and reconsidered!!
Jerry Jones is an idiot when it comes to football coaches. He fired the best 2 coaches in Dallas cowboys history Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson. Jerry Jones has not hired 1 decent coach since in 29 years. What a fool!!!!!!!!!
94 49ers would have still won. They annihilated they Chargers.
Don’t believe it Jerry was the issue
So Sad Damn I really miss Jimmy Johnson.....Dumb Ass Jerry would have more Super Bowl Wins than New England and yeah Jimmy would have been the Goat...
Oh no, he wasn't having fun.
They should have given the Vikings some of those SB rings for that ridiculous ransom they got for the Herschel Walker trade. Dumbest trade in NFL history on the Vikings part, and Jimmy knew just what to do with all of those picks. Jimmy Johnson was the greatest talent evaluator of his day, bar none.
All these comments praising Jimmy and downing Jerry. Well, at the end of the vid here, Jimmy basically tells you what an a-hole he was back then , but because he was the coach and not the meddling owner, he get's all the love. So Jerry FIRED Landry. BIG WHOOP! It was time and I loved the Cowboys of Landry. Why aren't we pissed at Bum Bright? He HATED Tom. I love Jerry Jones' passion. He loves the hell out of the Cowboys. He hasn't won a Super Bowl in 29 years. Ok.
He didn't have any fun with the Dolphins.
Everyone knows that Jerry the alcoholic wino owner wants all the success to himself,mark my words cause I only say it once that they will never win another Superbowl on my watch unless they get some one to help them how to manhandle your opponent if not oh well like I've said this last few years back if any team manhandle them in a this year 24 they will not go into a championship game it's a true fact
"I wasn't having fun." Tell that to the tens of millions of people who WORK for a living to provide the basic needs for their families. No wonder it took 30 years for them to put you in the Ring of Honor.
That's not why. If you read the history, Jerry is the committee of one who decides who goes on the ring. Jerry's ego is the reason it took so long. The way he treated Landry was unconscionable. They could have come to an agreement. Landry could have retired or just decided to leave. Jerry wiped away Landry and cared nothing for him. Alabama won't do that with Saban. Successful former coaches are to be celebrated.
Jimmy’s full of BS here. He’s just trying to temper what everyone knows: that was the dumbest thing ever for Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson to have their little spat resulting in departure of the coach. Yes, it was mostly Jerry’s fault, but Jimmy could’ve stayed. So now he’s trying to save his reputation, just like Jerry Jones is trying to save his. The only one speaking the truth on this is Troy Aikman. As he had said, this was a complete shame, and it never should’ve happened. Jimmy and his fishing story is just another made up “fishing story”. How ironic.
I’ll never understand why Joe buck has a job
Who cares
he quit on the cowboys
💯
Don't blame him. He was the brains behind the team and Jerry couldn't stand it.
Lucky coach with a good team most of them are hall of famers with out them he didn't do 💩
Absolutely biggest mistake in American sports history.
Jimmy leaving opened the door for the great Barry Switzer.
Lmao!
@@deputy3690 I did a double take when I read that. LOL
😂
Barry inherited a great team that’s all
@@briangaskamp5024 A great team indeed. Immediately ravaged by free agency and injuries. Then letdown by the star QB playing "jag" football.
