Horn: Jerry Jones gives himself an 'F' on 60 Minutes

Barry Horn / Reporter


Jerry Jones gets the CBS 60 Minutes treatment Sunday night. Be sure it won't be an old-style Mike Wallace browbeating. The NFL's network TV partner wouldn't dream of ticking off one of the most powerful owners in the league.

A 60 Minutes film crew began tailing Jones during training camp, when the idea was to profile an owner who had a shot to be the first to host his own team in a Super Bowl in a house he built. That proved a house of cards.

So as the season crumbled on Wade Phillips' watch, reporter Scott Pelley got Jones to say: "Before this year started, we were recognized as probably or certainly one of two that were favored to win the Super Bowl. ... What you're seeing now is agony."

That statement came on Halloween , the day the Cowboys were humiliated, 35-17, by the Jacksonville Jaguars while the Rangers were playing next door in the World Series.

When Pelley suggested Jones' former business partner, George Steinbrenner, the late owner of the New York Yankees, might have fired Jones as a general manager given the Cowboys' disappointing season, Jones replied, "Of course he would have. There's no doubt in my mind that he would have."

Asked to grade his work this season, Jones gave himself an F, he said, or maybe at best a "D-minus."

I had no interest in watching this.

I find it interesting that Jerry admits that's he deserves to be fired and gives himself an "F" grade.

Only lip service though. Like most . . . I doubt much changes at Valley Ranch this off season.

 

[Cr122]

He has an "F" for Fucked.

 

[Plymkr]

Wish that "F" stood for FIRING HIMSELF

He should give himself a "XXX",cause he sucked and we're F'd.

 

[Sheik]

I watched it. He sat there and took credit for those 92, 93 and 95 teams. Sick bastard.

I watched it. He sat there and took credit for those 92, 93 and 95 teams. Sick bastard.

That's what bothered me. That the casual viewer will watch that and think Jerry put together that team.

He loved that the interviewer was uninformed and gave him that credit.

Give me 5 minutes with him on live TV. I'll expose him as the fraud he's always been. He won't last the five minutes. He'll play his tough guy act and walk out.

 

[sbk92]

Jimmy and his staff must be shatting themselves with laughter over an interview like that.

Jerry, what happened to that guy who built that dynasty?

lol What a horrible unprofessional job of preparation.

That guy? He works for Fox now. That's what happened to him.

 

[Cr122]

I watched it. He sat there and took credit for those 92, 93 and 95 teams. Sick bastard.

All I can say is thank you Jimmy Johnson. If it weren't for Jimmy, we would still be on the losing end of the stick.

 

[SixisBetter]

All I can say is thank you Jimmy Johnson. If it weren't for Jimmy, we would still be on the losing end of the stick.

You know,Jimmy had some things go his way,most championship coaches do.

But can you imagine where this franchise would be w/o the hiring of Jimmy Johnson?

Just Jerry and the hillbillies running the show?

You're utterly sick. A narcissist. Seriously. Delusional.

You always need some luck to win it all. Jimmy was no different.

But talent often times creates luck. Jerry could have a four leaf clover shoved up his ass and he's never going to build a championship team as a GM.

All I can say is thank you Jimmy Johnson. If it weren't for Jimmy, we would still be on the losing end of the stick.

And I wouldn't be a Cowboy fan.

 

[Sheik]

lol

And I wouldn't be a Cowboy fan.

Kinda makes me wish we never hired Jimmy.

 

[Plymkr]

Was a Cowboys fan before Jimmy, and Jerry.

Jerry is a dumbass. But, without Jerry, there is no Jimmy in Dallas. So, that was one thing the douchebag got right. Jerry DEFINATELY doesnt' get all the credit, no way shape or form. But, He still gets some credit. He still signed the checks, BUT, he stayed back, and that was key. Not like now.


Anyone bitching and moaning about the Texan's owner down on the field last night in the 4th qtr/OT?


Anyone?
