Looks like Roy Williams isn’t going anywhere.

The bigger issue here though is… Unless you throw an absolutely overwhelming, record-breaking dollar figure at a great coach, who the hell would want to coach there under those circumstances?

I vividly recall a Cowboys game in which one of Jerry Jones’ aides walked over to our head coach Dave Campo and said something. Campo then went up to our offensive line coach, who in turn told our high draft pick that he was back in the game, this after he had been pulled a series or two earlier for poor play. It was like an adult game of whisper down the alley, only the message didn’t get lost in translation. It was time for Jerry’s pick to get back on the field. That always made me wonder what other mandates were coming down from on high.

Jerry actually IS a problem with this team. Ugh, this interview is absurd.

username is JimmyJohnson, I love it.

That Jerrah was coach, and he just hired his O- and D-coordinators in Garrett and Wade.

I haven’t laughed at that in a while.

Was Clint Murchison telling Landry who to play? Does anybody actually believe that Jimmy Johnson allowed this to happen?

If it takes Jerry to get him on the field then so be it

The man is a master media manipulator (alliteration domination right there).
As the GM, he certainly has the final say over who plays, and he will not be fired by the owner.

I happen to agree with him on Roy starting. This is a big investment, with a lot of talent, who needs more time on the field, not less. I don’t see this as Jerry giving Roy a get out of jail free card, but rather he’s trying to show some support for the player. In this instance it’s the right call, IMO.

I would think an athlete as proud as Roy Williams puts the pressure on himself to produce. He’s already getting criticism from the fans, the media, and ex-Cowboys. I don’t see what good it does for Jerry to go on the record and say the guy’s starting position is on the line. Besides, it’s too early for that kind of talk. With Austin’s emergence as a big play threat, let’s give him a chance to improve before writing him off as a bad acquisition.

On Jerry’s out of character interview – Maybe he’s feeling strong after locking up Ware with a huge contract. Maybe he didn’t care for the interviewers pressing him and decided to tell them to shove it, he’s the boss, end of story. I don’t know, and I really don’t care. As someone else once said, ’How do you know when Jerry is lying? His lips are moving."

Examples: One year the Titans are 13-3, the next year they start the season 0-6. Did Jeff Fisher lose all his coaching ability in a few months? Probably not. But he did lose essentially the AFC Defensive Player of the Year over the summer. My point is as long as the personnel is good (which it is for the Cowboys right now) they are probably gonna win as long as the coaching isn’t too much of a hindrance, which to me it isn’t. The schemes the Cowboys run right now allow them to adjust midgame, i.e. after the Falcon’s 1st drive, their offense is shut down, the play that got Miles covered by a safety, etc. But to me, Jerry shouldn’t be firing coaches unless they are just an out and out embarrassment because he’s telling him who to play. Still there is the matter of 13 straight years without a playoff win. What people should be doing is asking Parcells and Jimmy Johnson if Jerry did in fact have final say over what players started in a game. That will answer many more questions.

he wants him starting Young any different??
