[Rock Slamdance]

True, And another guy with a nice cushy job with the media.

The Triplets would be big role players in any other organization not ran by Jerry Jones.

You could probably add even more allure to free agents with the cache of an aikman running things or Irvin on as wr coach

 

[cmd34(work)]

What are you talking about? Players LOVE Jerry Jones and free agents always want to come here.

As evidenced by the way Justin Durant, Will Allen, and Dante Rosario flocked here last season. Brian Waters couldn't wait to sign here last year either. Cream of the crop. Premiere free agent destination.

I dunno, the more you think about it, how many of those "trees" are really that good. Everyone talks about Parcells, but who other than Belichick was really that good? (And Belichick learned more from his dad than Parcells, I think.) A ton of guys have gotten jobs off the Parcells name, but how many were any good? Guys like Dan Henning and Charlie Weiss and Romeo Crennel and for god's sake Todd Haley weren't really good. I guess you can give him credit for Sean Payton -- that's one really good one. Weird that it happened here.

Tom Coughlin.

Al Groh did pretty good at UVA I think.

Pretty sure he was a sub .500 coach at Wake Forest and UVA combined. He also coached the Jets for 1yr before leaving for the UVA job.

Jerry Jones
- Barry Switzer - no NFL experience, out of football several years when hired
- Chan Gailey - first time NFL head coach
- Dave Campo - first time NFL head coach
- Wade Phillips - first time (non-interim) NFL head coach
- Jason Garrett - first time NFL head coach

Without Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells that is a crap tree.

I can't believe he hired Switzer instead of promoting someone already on the staff. He's such an idiot.

Who? Campo? Ernie Zampese?

Turner and Wannstedt were gone by then no?

 

[Rock Slamdance]

Yeah Turner was in DC, Dave with the Bears. Not defending the Switzerland hire, but not exactly a ripe staff of HC candidates.

 

[Rock Slamdance]

Stoopid auto correct

 

[GloryDaysRBack]

mike holmgren has a decent coaching tree...has some bums on there too..but its decent

 

[Rock Slamdance]

And isn't Holmgren a Walsh disciple?

 

[yimyammer]

If I magically bought the team today, I would hire Darren Woodson to be the GM. I'm not kidding. I think he will be great at the job.


I would also fire Mickey Spagnolia immediately.

God, I would live this. That flip floppin kiss ass gets on my last nerve

 

[Midswat]

Yeah. I'd live it too.

Aikman has mentioned a few times that he would like to run a team. He also mentioned that he didn't think that was a possibility in Dallas because of Jerry.

Troy talked about this subject on the Ticket this week. He didn't say he wouldn't work for Jerry, he said he thinks the structure is in place and won't be changing. Probably a politically correct way of saying the same thing
