Those were great years! GO COWBOYS!

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.

It was just a few years after those wins when it was easier for players to change teams due to free agency. CB lost some of their top notch offensive lineman that way.

Together, Jones and Johnson ruled the Super Bowl. Apart, they never won again.

But Jones did win again, he won with Barry Switzer at the helm.

@@_DB.COOPER Barry won with a team built by Jimmy. The pieces were already in place. Jimmy and Jerry had to rebuild from practically nothing because the team had declined so much. That's no disrespect to Barry, or even Tom Landry who was still coach when the Cowboys were sliding into third tier. It's just fact.

@@oldgoat142 you should really study the Cowboys more. Barry won a Super Bowl, Jimmy wasn’t there. Barry inherited some players just like EVERY new coach in NFL History does. I suppose you’re going to tell me he coached them the same and ran the same plays as Jimmy also. Jimmy inherited Hall of Famer Dan Marino, how did that turn out?

@@_DB.COOPER Marino's best years were behind him. He went to the super bowl twice with Shula, who had been coaching since the mid-60s, but they couldn't finish the job. That kind of thing happens. Not even close to being the same situation. Good try though. Just like every coach, sooner or later the game passes you by, or you simply get burned out. You want cowboy history? Okay. Barry managed to piss off A LOT of players, especially key players like Aikman, Smith, and others. Go back and watch some of their old interviews. Jerry and Barry banged heads just like Jerry did with Jimmy. Colossal egos do that. The difference is they couldn't put aside those egos enough to keep the dynasty going. Ditka and Ryan in Chicago should've had a helluva run. They didn't because they couldn't co-exist. Let's talk a little more history. How long did Barry last? That's what I thought.
