I think that it is the same reason that the 9er’s have not gone or have lost. I think they make massive investments in the QB position and get people that cant get beyond the playoffs, or are just too inconsistent. JMO.
Jones won 1 super bowl after Jimmy left using Jimmy's players. No SB appearances in 30 yrs, no conference finals and 4 playoff wins last 25. Enough said.
I like Jimmy Johnson but that team got the biggest boost from the Herschel Walker trade. Also, Jimmy won zero Super Bowls after leaving. Jimmy is good but he took over the Hurricanes after Schnellenberger got them their first national title. Easier to build off of that. Had a huge trade boost at Dallas and did nothing at the Miami Dolphins. Maybe they needed each other.
@@douglasdixon524Jimmy was 100% responsible for that Walker trade, and the subsequent draft picks that built the team. I’ll Give Jerry credit for hiring Jimmy and going along with his decisions for the years he did but that’s as far as I’ll go. Also Jimmy only coached in Miami for 3 more years, Jerry’s been a GM for decades and has run through like 6 other coaches in that time. Jerry is a parasite.
Jerry Jones purchased the Dallas Cowboys in 1989 for 150 million when they were losing money and had empty seats. The Cowboys as of today are worth 10 Billion making them the most valuable sports franchise in the world. At the end of the day Jerry Jones built the best economic machine in sports. Despite not making a Super Bowl in 30 years he’s been a massive success overall as the owner. When it comes to sponsorships, premium seating, merchandise, stadium (Jerry’s world) fan experience and revenue he checks all the boxes.
I "was" a Cowboys fan from the late 70s...I am in my 50s......was diehard....My frustration and disgust w Jerry has totally eroded and drowned out my fanhood in the past 20 years...no emotional connection remains...
That's a shame. The league itself nearly drove me away. The overt help a certain team from the AFC East received and cheating that was hardly punished. It's ridiculous. I'm a Steelers fan and only in the last couple of years did I start watching again. I'd been a fan since 1974.
For all the shots that Troy Aikman took staying in the pocket forever (and that’s when hits to the head were legal and encouraged) it’s amazing he is still coherent and intelligent.
Without Jimmy the Cowboys have won 1 Super Bowl. It’s impossible for Jerry to say he is the reason the Cowboys won Super Bowls. 1996 was the last Cowboys Super Bowl win. For 28 years the Jones family has squandered the Cowboys and disappointed fans.
Jerry Jones and Jerry Reinsdorf are both their own worst enemies to their franchises’ success. Both still riding high from their 90s dynasties and think the world owes them .
1st… I think Jerry has pivoted hard since Jimmys firing. He’s been extra cautious and patient for every single head coach that has passed through there. Too bad Jerry didn’t show even 10% of that temperance with jimmy.
Yeah. You only get one shot at Greatness though. Once you've had it and give it away, the Universe moves on. He's got to do find another way. Like hire a GM. The universe is like that. If you want that Greatness back that you gave away, you have come from a place of humility. Show what you learned. Wearing your decent like a badge of courage. Like George Forman, for instance
I was pretty upset at this breakup when it happened. I thought that both of these guys don't realize how tough it is to win, and this opportunity most likely will never come again. Too bad.....a shame.
Jerry jones tried to make a point that he was the important one not Jimmy.. a pissing match that the owner well allways win but hes paid ever since...yeah...your the boss..Jerry. you weite the checks...thats more important for everyone to know than having a winning team.
Jerry wouldn’t have never thought about trading Hershel for all those draft picks if it wasn’t for Jimmy. So yea everyone from the espn analysis journalists and even fans were going to give Jimmy the credit for assembling this team. You never hear The Hunt family, The Rooney family or any other owner acting like Jerry has been. Geez Jerry you own the team you hired Jimmy you had to approve of the trade and agree with the players that he drafted,traded or signed so yeah you was getting the credit but not like a coach or a player does. Jerry firing Jimmy prevented this team from possibly becoming like the patriots before the patriots 🤷🏻♂️
That was the best team I’ve ever seen assembled, people forget that the defense was ranked even higher than the offense, it was #1 one of those seasons, I believe it was the 93 season.
It was '92 but from 92-95 they were elite. The defensive line they had especially from 92-93 was tremendous. Such a deep rotation. Tolbert, Casillas, Russel Maryland and Haley were the starters. The second unit was no joke. It consisted of Jim Jeffcoat, Jimmie Jones, Chad Hennings and Leon Lett. People remember Lett for 2 big gaffs, but he was a hell of a player. LB's were fast and physical and the dbs were solid as well. So solid in fact that Darren Woodson didn't really crack the starting lineup much until '94. What an awesome team they were.
The Cowboys won it in '93, '94, and '96 and barely missed a trip to the Super Bowl in '95, the first year after Jimmy Johnson left. I think it's fair to say they probably would have won four straight, and possibly five.
A lot of people don't know this: Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson were college roommates and teammates at U Arkansas. Imagine winning two SB's with your old college roommate and then firing him because your ego was too huge
was telling a close buddy who was a die hard eagles fan right after the big hershel walker trade, when the cowboys who were at the bottom of the nfc, not just nfc east but the whole nfc, that they'll be SB contenders for years to come because of that trade. he had high hopes for the eagles. i was a huge cowboys fan and tom landry loyalist but after jj bought the team and sent landry packing i hated them and was thrilled they went 1-15 that first year.
Anybody else find the title confusing? I actually thought this was about Jimmie Johnson and Jerry Jones not getting along with Joe Buck there for a few seconds. I figured it out after re-reading the title a few times.
The players were loyal and close...Prime defended Troy in public during an interview with Skip Bayless on his book that claimed Troy was gay. The rot starts from the top😢
As a cowboy fans, this team will never get back to that era because of Jerry jones. Think of the talent they have had over the years but he controls so much it’s detrimental to the team.
And Jimmy Johnson had the class to never express any animosity over the situation. He wanted to go boating off the coast of Florida. Right. Instead of going for 3 in a row. Right. That is sportsmanship.
I think that was the excuse because Mr. Ego Jerry Jones basically forced him out and wanted to be GM...while Jimmy Johnson wouldn't accept that. Jimmy wanted control over getting players..and the fishing was just the excuse.
When I was a kid in the 70’s and 80’s, people forgot that Clint Mercheson owned the Dallas Cowboys. He let Tex Schramm run the team, Tom Landry coach the team and Gil Brandt run scouting. All he had to do was sit back and enjoy the winning. Sadly Jerry Jones is the polar opposite. His ego won’t allow him to hire competent people to run the team or hire a real head coach who isn’t a boot licking yes man.
Jimmy made all the moves, made all the picks, coached all the players. The two championships are his, his coaches and the players. Jerry Jones was and is a rich guy who picked the right coach. One player kept them from winning it all in 1994. Deion Sanders. They corrected the issue the next year. A cardboard cutout could have won a Superbowl with the 1995 team.
I’ve been a Cowboys fan since the 2nd grade, that year I followed them on their 1991 Super Bowl run and I was hooked. After the last Super Bowl it has been a non-stop rollercoaster of incompetence, underperformance, delusions and disappointment. Nothing will change until Jerry dies.
As much of clown show as it is now, when Jerry does pass away, the real circus begins when Stephen, Jerry Jr, and daughter Carolyn begin fighting for control.
Jimmy Johnson was such a great coach he knew how to prepare the team for the team that they were going to play but the only man who hasn't changed over all these years is Jerry Jones
It’s like this in every walk of life when you get a gold standard team. It’s tough to keep together because of pay scale personal eval and ego. Football bands sales fortune 10 firm
I thought he was going to reveal the real pivotal point in the collapse of the relationship between Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones . After the second Super Bowl victory, Johnson, and a number of other people were sitting around a table partying and Jerry Jones came up and tried bud in and the people at the table, pretty well ignored Jerry, and made him feel slighted, and so he went to the bar and started drinking, and a reporter was in there, and this was the point where he told the reporter that he was thinking of changing coaches and it escalated from thereafter it got out into the media and when they both got back in Dallas, Jimmy was furious and had a meeting with Jerry and they cemented the resignation
Was a season ticket holder and was in the process of renewing for another year when I heard on the radio that Jimmy had moved on. Later in the week they mentioned Jones had actually fired him. Never bought another ticket and now hope they lose every game and have gotten my wishes many times. Who fires a coach that just won two Super Bowls? Only someone who is insane or has an ego problem.
The only thing that irks me about Troy is when he praises cheat-bags, Belichick & Brady. The Cowboys were an HONEST team that didn't need to cheat. Patriots depended on it. There's no comparison!
I wasn’t there so I don’t know, but looking back objectively at the cowboys since then, how can anyone, including Troy, think that Jimmy was the or a problem?! My goodness.
When Jerry bought the team in 89 they were 3-13 the year before and had only made the playoffs twice in the 80's. Gone was the dominance of the 70's where they made it to the Super Bowl 5 times. They were under significant debt and unlikely to get better quickly. Jones made major changes and the Cowboys were back in the Super Bowl winning in 93, 94, 96. They don't do that without Jerry.
This is coming from a true blue Cowboys fan.....been watching them since Roger Staubach and Drew Pearson and so many other greats. As a little kid, I would cry and be so pissed when the Cowboys lost so know that there isn't a bigger Dallas Cowboy fan than me.....I boycotted the Cowboys in 2008 and vowed to myself that I would NEVER watch them again until Jerry either croaked or sold the team, I saw the destructive behavior of Jerry Jones not knowing when to sit down and stfu and to do what he did when he first bought the team and hired the best effing coach that money could buy and he allowed that coach to do this thing and do what Jimmy Johnson did which was pick undeniable talent and coach. I have sacrificed watching my most favorite sport because Jerry the fool lost his ways in doing what needs to be done by an owner....pick a great coach and allow him to do his thing. Every coach since then has been a yes man with the exception of Bill Parcels which is why he didn't last long either. My biggest wish is for EVERY Cowboy fan to boycott as well, if they did then Jerry would get the hint and sell the team in hopes that a MUCH better owner would buy the team, there are no guarantees of that but ANYTHING is better than a 29 year losing streak!!! But unfortunately too many people are weak and can't sacrifice like I have to try and get our winning tradition back, I don't expect to go to the Superbowl every few years, that would be ridiculous but I sure as hell know we can do better than to go 29 years without a hint of a Superbowl!!! Until then I will continue to boycott until a-hole is dead or sells the team!!!
I agree with Troy. The Cowboys would have been the most feared team in the league for years if Jerry would have limited himself to writing paychecks and let Jimmy do his thing. Alas, that didn't happen.
Used to be a big Cowboys fan. Now there’s not another team in the whole league that I enjoy watching lose more than the Cowboys. The single best thing to watch on TV is fourth quarter shots of Jerry Jones when they’re down by 4 touchdowns. The Cowboys will never have success in the playoffs until Jerry passes away. And that’s a good thing!
The cowboys spotted the 49rs 21 quick points in the championship game and but for the pass interference that was NOT called on Dion Sanders when he held Irvins arm down they would have went to three in a row.
well, actually, Jerry was right, they fired Jimmy and two years later they won again, a third championship in just four years, the Cowboys were that good. but after that, it went all downhill from there. They could never repeat that quality of a team. They were all amazing players, in both, offence and defense.
Considering they came back and won a third SB after missing the year before, one would have to seriously think that not only could they have won 3 in a row, it could have been 4. Nobody will ever know of course because injuries sure do happen in football, as just one reason why they might not have, but it could be argued that they sure could have.
What could have been is as lame a question as there is, because what could have been can be applied to what if the team hadn’t been sold to Jerry Jones in the first place?
Did you happen to catch the Family Feud episode where Joe was on with his family? it is so classic JB that you probably won't believe this when I tell it and I won't blame you. He's on there with family, mostly if not all females, I think it was all females and him. Now as we all know he has all the time in front of the camera to do whatever. His female family, obviously do not; so it comes down to they need an answer where the whole family talks it over and then their leader, Joe, gives the answer. They come up with a winning answer and all Joe has to do is hand it over. Bang! They win! The girls look smart, get their moment in the sun. NOPE! Joe vetoes the winning answer and supplies his own, cause you know, Joe knows better than anybody else. Now he could have just given over their answer, right or wrong, let them have their moment. NOPE! Lol, Joe gives his own answer which is wrong! But wait my friend: this is Joe we're talking about. Its not over. He doubles down and does the same thing again and again, is wrong! And their answer is right. *the last part I think is right, but maybe I just remember it that way, I am sure others will confirm or deny but I think he did it twice. :)
On second thought: perhaps I should have asked if you were either spouse to: or one of the girls ( I'm old, can't see your picture) that was done that way by JB? it would explain why you can't get along with him. :)
They way Jerry Jones unceremoniously fired Tom Landry pissed off alot of people. Not saying he shouldn't have just that he could have done it with a lot more class. Firing Jimmy is unforgiveable and I haven't watched a Cowboys game since.
And the main reason was Jerry Jones' stupidity (and the Vikings). Add to that; the Cowboys were so good for so long was the Herschel Walker trade which many say Jimmy Johnson made happen. They built a team that everyone wanted to play for with the players they received via draft picks by giving up Walker. The rest was gravy. Herschel was a really good player. But no front office can give up an entire Pro Bowl team for him and still win. And the Vikings didn't!
Ya let it slip by Jerruh... You an Jimmuh could of done some great things together... a couple more Bowls won... You guys had the best OL in the history of the NFL... Emmitt gets 5 yds a carry before he even gets touched that's how big Larry Allen & Co. would open holes for Emmitt...Oh well... 😏
Lifelong cowboys fan...thru thick and think, but, definitely not myopic, I can't stand Jerry Jones...he is THE problem. Crap rolls downhill and we cowboy fans have rolling in it since Jerry fired Jimmy. Troy is spot on and wholly underrated.
As a non expert football owner. You defer to the expert football coach and let him do his thing. The whole fault for that situation going left, was Jerry Jones. Troy Aikman said the absolute truth. But it is well known. And has been for 3 decades.
As far as Troy goes, it really speaks-to the trickiness of a championship. How everything has to fall the right way: Injuries at a minimum (esp season ending), everyone sacrificing (Troy coulda broken every QB records that exists if it was just about Troy). Team before everything. Same with Tom Coughlin's 2008 and 2012 spectacular NYG championships - everyone working together. That's why I get this long stretch by the NYG (some teams have never won it all). I said back then if we never win another Super Bowl - I'll live in happiness remembering THESE two most recent NYG rings. And the next one will be here soon enough, and probably one right after that.
Jimmy built the team, and Jerry wanted all the credit. Jerry wanted more attention and more control, and the cowboys have been average ever since. Aikman was lucky to be on that team, he was an average qb and never would've won anything without those other guys.
WEIRD ! In the early 90's the Cowboys owned the NFL and were on their way to 6/7 Super Bowls ! The BRUISING steam rolling OL sticks out to me ! This feud is like Al Davis / Marcus Allen monkey wrench to end 80's Raiders Dynasty ! Ego Jealousy !
Jerry couldn't handle the fact that Jimmy got all the credit for their success, in his mind he was living in Jimmy's shadow and that will eat up a narcissist like Jerry. And now look at Jerry, 30 years later and he's still getting in the way of the team's success.
Misplaced modifiers are such fun. Who knew that Joe Buck had a feud with Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones. 😆 I think what you were trying to say is, "Troy Aikman shares with Joe Buck the REAL reason Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones couldn't get along."
The biggest enemy to Dallas Cowboys' success is ... Jerry Jones!
He walked into Tom Landry's living room and fired him right there.
Great marketeer - terrible GM.
💯,000,000%
So true. Jones on his own has ruined the franchise.
actually it's ego and thats why jerry and Jimmie parted ways both had huge egos
The main reason that Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones couldn't get along is because of Jones narcissism.
Being a billionaire is a curse
Correct
@@wo8394 He was a narcissist long before that. Likely born that way.
No doubt, but it's interesting what Aikman says about Jimmy wanting to go fishing. Neither one of them wanted to sacrifice
Why hasn’t Dallas gone back to the Super Bowl?
-Times change, football changes, but Jerry Jones has not changed.
I think that it is the same reason that the 9er’s have not gone or have lost.
I think they make massive investments in the QB position and get people that cant get beyond the playoffs, or are just too inconsistent.
JMO.
Two words: Salary cap. There was no salary cap when the cowboys won three in four years in the 90's.
@@somebody-by9ge Two words, you're wrong. Salary cap was already in effect when Switzer won.
As an Eagles fan fan, I begrudgingly gave Aikman his due as a player. Since then, my Respect for him as a man has grown exponentially.
Love Troy but never as NYG can.
Yeah, I hated him when he played because I'm from Houston. He's always been humble and was a great quarterback.I guess I didn't really hate him.😊

Sadly Jerry Jones is the polar opposite. His ego won’t allow him to hire competent people to run the team or hire a real head coach who isn’t a boot licking yes man.

Well hiring a guy's ex-College Football Coach that he hated after Jimmy was let go must have Grinded Aikman gears for sure
I find it totally unsurprising that no one has mentioned Switzer here.
Interesting comment about Belichick. Once Belichick lost Brady and went beyond ‘just coaching’ the team went south and hasn’t been the same.
It’s a shame how most younger football fans have no idea how great Aikman was.

After the second Super Bowl victory, Johnson, and a number of other people were sitting around a table partying and Jerry Jones came up and tried bud in and the people at the table, pretty well ignored Jerry, and made him feel slighted, and so he went to the bar and started drinking, and a reporter was in there, and this was the point where he told the reporter that he was thinking of changing coaches and it escalated from thereafter it got out into the media and when they both got back in Dallas, Jimmy was furious and had a meeting with Jerry and they cemented the resignation
Was a season ticket holder and was in the process of renewing for another year when I heard on the radio that Jimmy had moved on. Later in the week they mentioned Jones had actually fired him. Never bought another ticket and now hope they lose every game and have gotten my wishes many times.
Who fires a coach that just won two Super Bowls? Only someone who is insane or has an ego problem.
The only thing that irks me about Troy is when he praises cheat-bags, Belichick & Brady. The Cowboys were an HONEST team that didn't need to cheat. Patriots depended on it. There's no comparison!
Monster Ego's....that's what made them great & made them part ways
Success sometimes creates egos
Grammatically incorrect title.
Right? It reads like they couldn't get along with Buck. 😅
I wasn’t there so I don’t know, but looking back objectively at the cowboys since then, how can anyone, including Troy, think that Jimmy was the or a problem?! My goodness.
Reportedly; Jimmy hardly ever left the offices when he was leading and coaching the Cowboys…sacrificing his marriage for the team.
They beat the 49’ers in 1994 if Jimmy stayed.
In contrast, do the Cowboys ever win in the 90s, if that Walker trade doesn’t happen? I’m not so sure.
“Let’s watch….” (Roll clip, world class offensive line mows everyone out of Emmitt’s way) yup, that’s what I remember about Dallas winning ways.
When Jerry bought the team in 89 they were 3-13 the year before and had only made the playoffs twice in the 80's. Gone was the dominance of the 70's where they made it to the Super Bowl 5 times. They were under significant debt and unlikely to get better quickly. Jones made major changes and the Cowboys were back in the Super Bowl winning in 93, 94, 96. They don't do that without Jerry.
This is coming from a true blue Cowboys fan.....been watching them since Roger Staubach and Drew Pearson and so many other greats. As a little kid, I would cry and be so pissed when the Cowboys lost so know that there isn't a bigger Dallas Cowboy fan than me.....I boycotted the Cowboys in 2008 and vowed to myself that I would NEVER watch them again until Jerry either croaked or sold the team, I saw the destructive behavior of Jerry Jones not knowing when to sit down and stfu and to do what he did when he first bought the team and hired the best effing coach that money could buy and he allowed that coach to do this thing and do what Jimmy Johnson did which was pick undeniable talent and coach. I have sacrificed watching my most favorite sport because Jerry the fool lost his ways in doing what needs to be done by an owner....pick a great coach and allow him to do his thing. Every coach since then has been a yes man with the exception of Bill Parcels which is why he didn't last long either. My biggest wish is for EVERY Cowboy fan to boycott as well, if they did then Jerry would get the hint and sell the team in hopes that a MUCH better owner would buy the team, there are no guarantees of that but ANYTHING is better than a 29 year losing streak!!! But unfortunately too many people are weak and can't sacrifice like I have to try and get our winning tradition back, I don't expect to go to the Superbowl every few years, that would be ridiculous but I sure as hell know we can do better than to go 29 years without a hint of a Superbowl!!! Until then I will continue to boycott until a-hole is dead or sells the team!!!
Should tweak that title a bit. Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones couldn't get along with Joe Buck?
WOW An I formation Pro Set What a Novel Idea 💡 Everyone gets involved Coaches Have to Coach 😊
I agree with Troy. The Cowboys would have been the most feared team in the league for years if Jerry would have limited himself to writing paychecks and let Jimmy do his thing. Alas, that didn't happen.
Troy is the man !
Ditka Thought he could win without Buddy Ryan!……….he never did!
Ha! The headline made me think JOE BUCK was the one they couldn’t get along with! 😂
Jimmy keeps his boat down in the Keys. I wonder how much time he spent fishing when he was coaching the Dolphins?
Aikman seems to focus on the what could’ve been instead of his actual accomplishments. That’s wild.
@1:19 ... I remember watching this live and thinking... why the Hell is the owner taking over the spotlight!? Jones destroyed this dynasty.
I find it very difficult to believe that Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones didn't get along with Joe Buck. Joe Buck just seemed like the nicest guy
Leadership is from the top down... (By example)
Used to be a big Cowboys fan. Now there’s not another team in the whole league that I enjoy watching lose more than the Cowboys.
The single best thing to watch on TV is fourth quarter shots of Jerry Jones when they’re down by 4 touchdowns. The Cowboys will never have success in the playoffs until Jerry passes away. And that’s a good thing!
Title has nothing to do with the video.
The cowboys spotted the 49rs 21 quick points in the championship game and but for the pass interference that was NOT called on Dion Sanders when he held Irvins arm down they would have went to three in a row.
well, actually, Jerry was right, they fired Jimmy and two years later they won again, a third championship in just four years, the Cowboys were that good. but after that, it went all downhill from there. They could never repeat that quality of a team. They were all amazing players, in both, offence and defense.
Considering they came back and won a third SB after missing the year before, one would have to seriously think that not only could they have won 3 in a row, it could have been 4. Nobody will ever know of course because injuries sure do happen in football, as just one reason why they might not have, but it could be argued that they sure could have.
What could have been is as lame a question as there is, because what could have been can be applied to what if the team hadn’t been sold to Jerry Jones in the first place?
It's cuz Jimmy wanted to use hairspray and Jerry insisted on gel
Troy is no one to talk bad of anyone.
Like Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson, I too, can't get along with Joe Buck.
Did you happen to catch the Family Feud episode where Joe was on with his family? it is so classic JB that you probably won't believe this when I tell it and I won't blame you. He's on there with family, mostly if not all females, I think it was all females and him. Now as we all know he has all the time in front of the camera to do whatever. His female family, obviously do not; so it comes down to they need an answer where the whole family talks it over and then their leader, Joe, gives the answer. They come up with a winning answer and all Joe has to do is hand it over. Bang! They win! The girls look smart, get their moment in the sun. NOPE! Joe vetoes the winning answer and supplies his own, cause you know, Joe knows better than anybody else. Now he could have just given over their answer, right or wrong, let them have their moment. NOPE! Lol, Joe gives his own answer which is wrong! But wait my friend: this is Joe we're talking about. Its not over. He doubles down and does the same thing again and again, is wrong! And their answer is right. *the last part I think is right, but maybe I just remember it that way, I am sure others will confirm or deny but I think he did it twice. :)
On second thought: perhaps I should have asked if you were either spouse to: or one of the girls ( I'm old, can't see your picture) that was done that way by JB? it would explain why you can't get along with him. :)
They way Jerry Jones unceremoniously fired Tom Landry pissed off alot of people. Not saying he shouldn't have just that he could have done it with a lot more class. Firing Jimmy is unforgiveable and I haven't watched a Cowboys game since.
And the main reason was Jerry Jones' stupidity (and the Vikings). Add to that; the Cowboys were so good for so long was the Herschel Walker trade which many say Jimmy Johnson made happen. They built a team that everyone wanted to play for with the players they received via draft picks by giving up Walker. The rest was gravy. Herschel was a really good player. But no front office can give up an entire Pro Bowl team for him and still win. And the Vikings didn't!
Ya let it slip by Jerruh... You an Jimmuh could of done some great things together... a couple more Bowls won... You guys had the best OL in the history of the NFL... Emmitt gets 5 yds a carry before he even gets touched that's how big Larry Allen & Co. would open holes for Emmitt...Oh well... 😏
Larry Allen still the strongest OL ever to play and he played 30 years ago
He could bench 705 lbs.
It's on TH-cam look it up
I didn't know Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones couldn't get along with Joe Buck.
Lifelong cowboys fan...thru thick and think, but, definitely not myopic, I can't stand Jerry Jones...he is THE problem. Crap rolls downhill and we cowboy fans have rolling in it since Jerry fired Jimmy. Troy is spot on and wholly underrated.
I think Troy Aikman would be a great coach
As a non expert football owner. You defer to the expert football coach and let him do his thing. The whole fault for that situation going left, was Jerry Jones.
Troy Aikman said the absolute truth. But it is well known. And has been for 3 decades.
I'm a Browns fan
We have a J Jones type owner in J Haslim
Damn!!! I MISS those days. I am increasingly hating Jerry Jones for ruining my teams history!!
Joe Buck's the same way - he'll sacrifice self for the good of the
broadcast, on air partner, always respect Joe so much.
As far as Troy goes, it really speaks-to the trickiness of a championship. How everything has to fall the right way: Injuries at a minimum (esp season ending), everyone sacrificing (Troy coulda broken every QB records that exists if it was just about Troy). Team before everything. Same with Tom Coughlin's 2008 and 2012 spectacular NYG championships - everyone working together. That's why I get this long stretch by the NYG (some teams have never won it all). I said back then if we never win another Super Bowl - I'll live in happiness remembering THESE two most recent NYG rings. And the next one will be here soon enough, and probably one right after that.
This is life. That's how it rolls for most of us.
Jerry and his EGO !!! He couldnt stand to see Jimmy get the shine ✨ it was killing him to see Jimmy get the pats on the back
I could see myself not being able to get along with Joe Buck.
Jimmy built the team, and Jerry wanted all the credit. Jerry wanted more attention and more control, and the cowboys have been average ever since. Aikman was lucky to be on that team, he was an average qb and never would've won anything without those other guys.
WEIRD ! In the early 90's the Cowboys owned the NFL and were on their way to 6/7 Super Bowls ! The BRUISING steam rolling OL sticks out to me ! This feud is like Al Davis / Marcus Allen monkey wrench to end 80's Raiders Dynasty ! Ego Jealousy !
lets us not forget the very awesome alvin harper
Troy: I was so great...
Real reason he left was he saw Troy showering with a strange man
EGO was their downfall.
Jerry couldn't handle the fact that Jimmy got all the credit for their success, in his mind he was living in Jimmy's shadow and that will eat up a narcissist like Jerry. And now look at Jerry, 30 years later and he's still getting in the way of the team's success.
Misplaced modifiers are such fun. Who knew that Joe Buck had a feud with Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones. 😆
I think what you were trying to say is, "Troy Aikman shares with Joe Buck the REAL reason Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones couldn't get along."
