| Just so you understand who's in charge! |
With the Dallas
cowboys once again left lonely on the sidelines to gaze upon post season activity,
Jerry Jones continues his quest to make everyone uncomfortable. While telling
the world that he is searching for the right combination of coaches to propel
the Cowboys back into Super Bowl glory, the stark reality is one Jerry doesn’t
want to conform to.
| Right relationships are important! |
While having the right combination of coaches is important
and not to be discounted, it is no less important that the relationship of the
General Manager to those same coaches and players. And if a return to past
glory is so important to Jerry, then a return to that initial relationship
between himself as GM and the coaches and players is necessary.
But, this remains an extremely sensitive area with Jones,
one which receives an immediate reaction when raised in his presence. As well
it should, for it was Jones who destroyed that relationship years ago when he
fired Jimmy Johnson after back to back Super Bowl victories. To date he has yet
to re-establish it.
Why? Oh, the reason for that is easy and Jerry is will eagerly
inform anyone willing to lend an ear to hear, camera or microphone. Jerry wants
total control on all final decisions regarding players, personnel and staff
within the Cowboys organization. This is why he fired Johnson. Jerry wanted
what Jimmy had written into his contract and was unwilling to share with Jerry.
Soooooooo, Jerry easily remedied that. Bye bye, Jimmy. The glory slowly
departed and has failed to appear within sight of Jerry and his mission.

| Bye, Bye Jimmy |
In the meantime, everyone is uncomfortable in the presence
of Jerry. They all know that the emperor, though fully clothed, is wearing the wrong
attire. The mantle of General Manager is unsightly, does not fit and is threadbare.
Even Jerry knows this.
| Scapegoat |
So, leave him alone to his task. If he keeps on, who knows?!
The odds may be on his side. He may hit upon the right combination of
discomfort and make it to the playoffs, maybe win a playoff game and, dare we
dream, win a Super Bowl. Until that happens, the nightmare continues and the coaches fired are nothing more than scapegoats.
