Lol Ted the man thinks players always jump ship when they think a coach is in trouble. Ted must not know anything about how Tom coughlin was on his way out in 07 but the players rallied around him and won a superbowl. So remember that when you spread your wonderful insight on what players always do

You just know, considering the senility is finally catching up with him, Jerry Jones really wants to be the head football coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

And I am talking standing on the sidelines coaching instead of coaching from the owners box.

@ialwayswantedtobeabanker, here you go so you won’t be so stunned next time buddy.
“Jerry takes a lot of grief for me leaving, and he shouldn’t,” says Johnson. “I was leaving (regardless). It got to where it wasn’t fun for me. I was hard on our team. After winning the first Super Bowl, I was harder. I had to be the bad guy because people get complacent.”

Aikman, for one, now has added insight on the outcome, offering: “He’s said that a number of times to me that he was tired of being the bad guy. Which I guess that was a little bit of a shock to me — because he was so good at it, you know? It seemed like he really enjoyed being the bad guy. But it’s been since I’ve gotten to know him that (I realized) that’s not him.”

To learn more about Johnson, catch A Football Life on Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ET (and many subsequent airings) on NFL Network.

One common thread that most people are overlooking: Recently-hired DC Monte Kiffin and newly-appointed OC Bill Callahan were both assistants under Jon Gruden (Kiffin in Tampa and Callahan in Oakland).

The 2013-2014 season is Jason Garrett’s last chance.

Meanwhile, Chucky awaits.

Jerry Jones is showing everyone what an idiot he is. He has guaranteed himself a losing season next year by undermining the authority of his head coach. He should have just fired the guy. The players know when the head coach is in trouble and they all jump ship. Dallas will be lucky to win 6 games in 2013.

Let’s hope Callahan doesn’t “sabotage” the playcalling because he “hates” the Cowboys!

When are you all going to get it?
A narcissist will never “fire” himself.
Do you know how stupid that sounds to ask him to do that?
Keep wishing for that but its never going to happen.

Classic example of how Jerry Jones’ ego hurts the team. Instead of making the decision with Garrett behind closed doors and allowing him to preserve some dignity, Jones shows once again that he doesn’t get it.

Do me a favor and watch JJ’s interview before commenting – As a Cowboys fan I love the fact that Garrett will be a “walk around coach” next season. Fits the mold of Tomlin, John Harbaugh, Beli-cheat to name just a few. Personally – I hate the HC being the DC or OC, that takes away your ability to actually be involved in every aspect of the team.

Also Jerry mentioned that when he hired Garrett as HC it was his insistence that Garrett continue to call plays – as for the players losing respect for Garrett – he has already dumped the trouble makers and the players already respect the heck out of him based on how he involved each one of them during the death of their teammate.

Nice try Cowboy haters!

Jerry’s the 21st Century Al Davis. They’ll continue to be mediocre until the old fool dies.

Remember when the Redskins did this to Zorn? And fired him at the end of that season?

Put the house on the market now, Garrett… this isn’t going to end well.

as a skins fan im loving this

As a fan of any of 31 teams other than Invincible Dallas, one should be loving this. Fans of the Redskins, Giants, and Eagles have more reason to love this than the other 28, I’ll grant you.

Jerry Jones–What a maroon.

Maybe if Garrett had taken the Ravens job back in 2008 instead of using them for leverage, he’d be the one going to the playoffs every year with Ray, Ed, Haloti and Joe.

And the Super Bowl this year.

Glad he didn’t. Harbs worked out great for the Ravens.

As a cowboy fan, I officially loathe Jerry Jones. I think his hairbrained idea to move to the 4-3 is going to backfire horribly. It really doesn’t matter who your DC/DL coaches are, if you don’t have the personnel, it isn’t going to succeed. At least I can enjoy a laugh at draft time every season. We always wind up with injured supposedly “high value” guys, but they seem to never become uninjured, and if they do they leave the first chance they get. I’m tired of this circus. Someone please put JJ in an old-folks home and turn the reigns over to somebody who will hire a freaking GM for once.

It’s a state of the art stadium… how about just rigging the seats with screens and x-box controllers so the crowd can choose the play from the Madden 2013 playbook?

That’s not the way to fire a coach. Make a clean break and start over so that he can do the same. Jerry and Goodell have the same power problem.

What this means is that the phone in Jerry’s box will be wired straight to Callahan’s headset. Jerry will be the one really calling the plays now. Megalomania at it’s highest level.

Of all the things I considered about Jerry, the one thing I never though about him that he was a coward. He doesn’t have the courage to just fire him. And, if I’m Jason Garrett I’ll be damn it I’d quit. Do, the right thing MR Jones and fire the man so he could move on.

“solomon” — unfortunately, you’re not as wise as your namesake.

Jerry was the head man in name only during the Jimmy Johnson era. Jimmy ran the team, and bristled, as did the other coaches, when Jerry tried to act like a big shot.

There’s so much info out there on this, that it stuns me that you don’t get it. Why don’t you research why Jimmy left the team?

Should have waited to make this announcement dring SuperBowl week, nothing like trying to steal the thunder of the SB. Jerry’s Motto, Good or bad as long as they are talking about the Cowboys!

@ialwayswantedtobeabanker, I think you have your facts wrong. Jerry has always been the man in charged. When he bought the team in 89 he was the head man. When he traded Walker for all of those players it was him that did it, Not Jimmy. And that team couldnt have won five superbowls. Because of the Salary Cap, We had to get rid of top notch players. YOur attempt to pile on is noted, Now keep trying to be a banker, Maybe your better with money then facts..

Jerrah needs to put on the headset, coach the WHOLE thing for a season and then maybe he will get a real GM and let the coach do his job!
