Jerry Jones: When we win a Super Bowl, give me the credit as G.M.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones knows he has taken criticism for his work as the team’s general manager over the last 15 years. He also says he wants the credit if the team he has assembled ever wins a Super Bowl.

Jones reiterated at the Scouting Combine that he will remain the team’s General Manager, and he told reporters that they should give him the credit for the Cowboys’ future success.

“I pretty much go with what I did the night I bought the team,” Jones said, via the Star-Telegram. “I said I was going to be the GM. . . . It would be a facade if someone else was sitting in my shoes and someone thought they were spending the money. It would be deception. . . . I would grant you the decisions that have been made over the years have not produced a Super Bowl, two Super Bowls or three Super Bowls that I would like to have been a part of. And the only thing I am going to do there is keep trying and then make sure I get the credit when we do get that one. Y’all are going to give it to me, aren’t you?”

If the Cowboys do win the Super Bowl, Jones will, indeed, deserve credit. And if they keep missing the playoffs, Jones will deserve blame.

God I fucking hate this old man.

 

[bkeavs]

Less anyone thinks anything will change for the next 5 or so years should not think that based on that very article

 

[Midswat]

He wants credit and to prove he belongs, more than he wants his franchise to be successful.

 

[bkeavs]

Thats the reason he cant make tough decisions regarding personell and the coaching staff.

Its impossible for him to admit mistakes

 

[Midswat]

Romo will retire in 3-4 years. We will have no idea how to replace him.

Garrett will be fired after 2013.

His replacement will be fired 3-4 years later.

His replacement will be fired not long after that.

Rinse. Repeat.

Jerry will inch closer and closer to death, not giving a shit that he's the problem. Stubbornly entrenched in his pursuit for 'credit.'

Ultimately, however, the last Lombardi he will ever have hoisted will be in early 1996 with a moron yelling "We did it! We did it! We did it!"

I almost want us to go without a Super Bowl win until he's dead just so there's no mistaking this guy had nothing to do with it.

Fuck him for making me feel that way.

Fuck him for making me feel that way.

Can't say my hate for him has caused me to feel the same way also.

 

[ravidubey]

What a douchebag this guy is.

 

[peplaw06]

Can't say my hate for him has caused me to feel the same way also.

Knowing Jerry, he'd probably resurrect himself after we won the Super Bowl and try to claim the credit anyway. Zombie Jerry would be all, "when I didn't fire Garrett in 2013 and delayed it for a year, it laid the ground work for this win in 2025."

 

[bbgun]

Why would he want credit? After all, "GM" is just a title, right Hos?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

How selfish. Sounds like he doesn't want anyone sharing in the credit at all. He's saying that if he gives a gm the resources to win a championship means it's masking that man's ability and any credit to him would be undue.

I got news for you Jerry. Resources don't mean shit if they are constantly misplaced. If anyone under Jerry had an ounce of ambition, they should get the hell out of there.

 

[Iamtdg]

He finally admits he shouldn't get credit for the 2 in the 90's.

 

[Midswat]

And the only thing I am going to do there is keep trying and then make sure I get the credit when we do get that one. Y’all are going to give it to me, aren’t you?”

The more I read this, the more pathetic it sounds.

 

[Cowboysrule122]

We'll be just like the Raiders. Only they have an advantage. Davis is dead.

 

[ThoughtExperiment]

And the only thing I am going to do there is keep trying and then make sure I get the credit when we do get that one. Y’all are going to give it to me, aren’t you?”

"And I'm smilin' when I say that." :jerry

Jerry Jones craves credit more than winning

The Cowboys have won a grand total of one playoff game in the last 16 seasons, but Jerry Jones wants to make sure that he gets credit for their next Super Bowl.

And that’s the primary reason why we’ll be waiting a long, long time for the Cowboys to hoist the Lombardi Trophy for the sixth time in franchise history.

Everything is subject to change at Valley Ranch, often on a whim, except the one constant during the Cowboys’ long run of mediocrity. A failure of a GM is guaranteed that job for life just because his ego won’t allow him to fire himself.

“I would grant you the decisions that have been made over the years have not produced a Super Bowl, two Super Bowls or three Super Bowls that I would like to have been a part of,” Jerry said this weekend at the scouting combine while sitting in his beautiful new luxury bus, the mobile version of JerryWorld. “And the only thing I am going to do there is keep trying and then make sure I get the credit when we do get that one.

“Y’all are going to give it to me, aren’t you?”

Well, Jerry, how about we worry about that if it ever happens?

That’s doubtful as long as Jerry, who can’t stand hearing Jimmy Johnson called the architect of the 1990s dynasty, makes feeding his massive ego his top priority.

The biggest bunch of bull heard around Valley Ranch -- and there’s a lot of it -- is the line about Jerry being willing to do whatever it takes to win. If that were the case, he’d hire a legitimate GM, get out of the way and just focus on being a marketing genius.

But America’s Team will continue being a mediocre mess because Jerry craves credit more than he wants to win.

It won't be long, he'll be dead in a few years.

I think his death would mean more to me than any Super Bowl ever could.

5 SBs in a row vs. him taking his fail to his grave.

I'll take his death. Fuck him. There's no bigger piece of shit in all of sports. I'm sure his son will be as bad, if not worse, but whatever.

 

[Midswat]

His mom lived to be 90. He's got at least another 10 years in him.

 

[Sheik]

His mom probably didn't drink like he does.

Anyone have a recent photo? The man looks like shit run over twice.
