Jerry Jones doesn't agree with former Cowboys coach Jimmy Johnson

[RoyTheHammer]

"Jimmy was what I call a walk-around coach." Jones explained Tuesday during his weekly radio appearance on 105.3 The Fan (KRLD-FM). "[Bill] Parcells was a walk-around coach. Joe Gibbs is a guy who believes that the head coach needs to be in charge of either the offense or the defense and needs to be the coordinator. It brings you stature, it involves you in the game and gives you more respect with the players.

Wowww.. he really just did Bill and Jimmy like that. Every word that comes out of this dumbfuck's mouth makes him more and more of a fool.

 

[Rock Slamdance]

So this proves that Jimmy is right.

That is the dumbest shit I've heard from Jerry's mouth in awhile. I'm sure that some of Jimmy's former players are still scared of him and def. respect him.

Garrett needs to hire help with playcalling bc we're currently close to last in redzone efficiency in a year where teams are falling over themselves to suck bad enough for Luck. Something is just not clicking. There's no way you can tell me the players are great enough at execution to get down to the goalline and then suddenly suck. I understand things tighten up there and our oline gets pushed around, but then it falls even MORE on the coaching to work around that little conundrum.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

They were all walk-around head coaches, yes it is true, but they didn't design the weekly game-plans. More often than not they left that up to the coordinators and then decided which specific plays would be used according to their coaching background ie if they came from coaching defense, special teams, RBs, etc.

Unless they liked total hegemony.

I remember Parcells toning down the amount of blitzes Mike Zimmer tended to use, saying something a long the lines, "he's too aggressive" with his play calls.

As far as us not getting Norv Turner, one thing Jerry does is pay for coaches. If Norv is suddenly unemployed I'm sure he would consider returning to Dallas.

Why would Norv Turner choose to come to Dallas to play second fiddle to Jason Garrett? Turner knows more about offense than Garrett will ever know and there could be friction.

I don't think he'll have too many offers to be first fiddle anywhere else.

I did not mean as a head coach. But as a coordinator. There are plenty of defensive minded head coaches that would love to have him and he would be more apt to go there than go to Dallas where he has to run his gameplans and calls through a man he once coached.

It's the nature of the business. Coaches that were Head Coaches become assistants or coordinators. Some big name coaches like Jimmy Johnson, Bill Parcells, Bill Cowher become analysts but the other guys just want a job somewhere. Norv went from Cowboys OC to Redskins HC to San Diego OC to Miami OC to Raiders HC to 49ers OC to San Diego HC. He stays employed.

Jerry has proven he will pay top dollar for Coordinators. It's possible IMO.

Sparano's allegience was to Parcells, not the Cowboys...not sure it is a lock by any means for him to come back.

Sparano's AND Garrett's best Offensive display of power came in '07 when they were both running the Offense. If Garrett AND Jerry doesn't see that while Sparano didn't work out as a HC, he would do wonders here as an OC, then I dunno what to say or do here. This also sounds like Jerry just putting the fog up so that folks won't try and lock down someone he has in mind.

 

[Theebs]

I don't think it is lock for him to come here. Also, Garrett says alot of things without saying anything...I'd temper my excitement over his words about Sparano. I think he raved about Phillips too.

They get along well. Tony wanted Jon Garrett to be his oc this year and interviewed him for the job....Jon said the only reason he took the interview was because it was Tony and that they all worked together so well in 07 and that they viewed the game the same way...

And sporano really didn't have any ties to parcells, he hired him in 05 when bill shook up the coaching staff, there was no background there. His hire was similar to many bill made in that time period where he couldn't get his guys and used his contacts for references on guys like Payton, Gary Gibbs, David lee etc...

The only parcells guys So to say we ever really had here were carthon, Chris Palmer, Vincent brown.

He tried on many of his guys but couldn't get any of them...I always wondered what would have happened hadhe been able to sign Jake Dellhomme like he intended and got his coaches like mike pope and Dan henning who ended up with Delhomme anyway

This makes a lot of sense to me for some reason.
