Well.....if you are paying for the meal you get to choose the restaurant

What I see when someone refers to him in that manner!

[Tusks]

Jimmy made the Jerrah era in Dallas.

That's right.  Not against it, just intrigued to see how it works out.

[jvanhorn]

He also made the Cowboys so there’s that

No.  What he made was a hell of a lot of money.

[Paul]

No.  What he made was a hell of a lot of money.

correct.  money can't buy brains

[oldhawg]

correct.  money can't buy brains

But it does buy influence.

Jerry "made" the Cowboys? How old are you?

[onebadrubi]

Jerry "made" the Cowboys? How old are you?

I think he meant jimmy?

[Dr. Starcs]

WTH are you talking about

[Mellon Collie]

dude's a straight psychopath.

[wachhog]

I think he meant jimmy?

He must not know about Murchison, Landry and Staubach. Of course, they only made America's Team.

[oldhawg]

WTH are you talking about

Although you cannot ignore the Cowboy's stature and value in 1989 when Jones bought the franchise for 150 million dollars, neither can you ignore the following:

"The Cowboys are the NFL's most valuable team for the 11th straight year and the world's most valuable sports franchise. America's Team is worth $4.8 billion, up 14%, with profits of $350 million thanks to a booming merchandise business and the revenue opportunities at their new practice facility, The Star."


Jones has had his influence.

No, I get that absolutely. But the cowboys were America's team long before Jerry arrived.

Wasnt my pick but its who we got. Don't let yourself become "that guy". Ive read your posts too long now. Might as well give the guy a chance.

[hobhog]

Keeping one of the most powerful men in sports happy and behind your program is certainly a good thing. Not sure how anyone could think otherwise.

Point taken. Still pissed. But point taken.

You're a good poster. Don't let this screw that up. Lets just watch and see what happens.

[Dr. Starcs]

Thanks Pharm. Gonna try to take a post break for a while.

[PharmacistHog]

Its all good.

Agree!

[ipigsooie]

Yeah he has "ruined" them. Paid 100 million for them, now they are worth 6 billion. Since "Jerrah" bought the Cowboys in 88 how many teams have won more Super bowls? The Patriots.  You either hate the Cowboys or you love them. Only team in the NFL that's relevant whether they win or lose.  Say what you want about Jerry but him getting more involved in our program is a good thing.

[SchrodingersHog]

I can't help but wonder how many remember Jerry before he bought the Cowboys.  Back in his oil and gas days.  Of those that remember his oil and gas business methods, I wonder how many would rather not have Jerrah in control of the Hogs?  Me, for one.

Doesn't change the coach selection.  Morris is our coach.  Hope he does well.  We need it.

[EastexHawg]

He also made the Cowboys so there's that

Are you kidding?  How old are you, 14?

The Cowboys were in the NFL or NFC Championship game 12 times in 18 years before Jerry Jones took over the franchise.  They were in five Super Bowls in nine years. 

Jerry had one coach who built the team off the field and won games on it.  Naturally, his massive ego caused him to fire the only man, the only reason, he was successful. 

Jerry made the infamous statement that "500 coaches could win" with his team.  One of them did...once... but since the mid 90s Jerry has run the once greatest franchise in the NFL into the ground to the point that Herm Edwards by himself has won more playoff games than Dallas.

Naturally, that scintillating record and his deep understanding of winning football make Jerry Jones the perfect man to ram through his choice as coach of the Razorbacks.  What could possibly go wrong?

[wwrogers5]

The Cowboys have been to the playoffs twice in 11 years. Jerry couldn't make lemonade.this was a horrible hire. Peace

I've known him since 1971, he's not changed a lot since then.

[wwrogers5]

I am and will always bleed Razorback red, (not cardinal red), I will get behind him 98%. Hired 3 offensive coaches today all 32 years old.
It is a young man and 1 woman(she is in recruiting) game. Go Hogs!

[Sooieetness]

For those who haven't seen it, I suggest watching the Jerry Jones feature on "A Football Life," the series that airs on the NFL Channel.  It should be available in repeat broadcasts.

Money Talks

[oldhawg]

No, I get that absolutely. But the cowboys were America's team long before Jerry arrived.

Agree.  Although not everyone is around to remember those days. 

[Athog]

Jimmy made the Jerrah era in Dallas.

Yeah and a Jerry hired him!!

[Dominicanhog]

The Cowboys have been to the playoffs twice in 11 years.

I'd call that  "making the Cowboys"

[Dominicanhog]

Dam, and I thought you were young and hip..

[ricepig]

Dam, and I thought you were young and hip..

Lol, it was at a family reunion, Gene and he drove up in a convertible Cadillac, it might have been in 73'. I was young, either 13 or 15, which makes me think 71' was correct.

Since your getting old, losing your mind and can't remember things, I'll share a trick I use... !971 Joe Ferguson.. 1973 Mike Kirkland..hard to get those 2 years confused if you do it that way...

[Razor1997]

I think he meant jimmy?

"Jimmy" is a strange way to spell "Tex Schramm and Tom Landry".

[JONAS]

Jerrah has already ruined the cowboys. Guess he couldn't help himself.

That he has, but I don't care.  I'm not a Cowboys fan.

[PharmacistHog]

No. He's old and broke his hip.
