Anyone else remember the rumor after the 93 season of Jerry tried to redo Jimmys contract giving Jer more personnel input
You have a better memory than I do if true.Anyone else remember the rumor after the 93 season of Jerry tried to redo Jimmys contract giving Jer more personnel input
Just keep believing that.The reason Johnson wanted out, though, was because Jerry didn't give him what he wanted.
It wasn't simply a desire to go back to Florida.
I will, and you can keep believing what you believe.Just keep believing that.
That's speculation.
I know you are but what am I?
So, you maintain that the situation was irreparable? There was no other solution than the oneJust keep believing that.
He loves Florida, okay?!So, you maintain that the situation was irreparable? There was no other solution than the one
that occurred?
Jerry Jones: "There's no way that I would be involved here and not be the final decision-maker on something as important as players, and that is a key area. "

I believe that. Especially since neither guy involved wanted it repaired. Jerry was done fixing the financial stuff and wanted more team involvement. Jimmy wanted out. And they both got what they wanted.So, you maintain that the situation was irreparable? There was no other solution than the one

I hear what yo say, but I feel that Jimmy was all about success. And the level of success Jimmy was riding here was unmatched at the time, and for all outward appearances, would continue for what history bears out to be at least 2 more years. And those 2 subsequent years with a football moron at the helm.I believe that. Especially since neither guy involved wanted it repaired.

No, I don't believe more money would have kept him in Dallas and happy. Jimmy knew he could get crazy amounts of money any where he went. So not only did it fit his history of moving on after a few years, he pretty much had a blank check waiting for wherever he would end up.
Why did he walk away from Miami?I hear what yo say, but I feel that Jimmy was all about success.

Maybe he could walk away from that, I struggle to see it though. Maybe it's me.
Its like you are thinking with Hostile's brain.He loves Florida, okay?!
I don't believe long term Jimmy would have stayed. I think he could have been bought to stay for longer, though. He might have said, years later, he had a date circled, but he's saying that under the assumption that Jerry would have continued to butt heads with him, which had already been going on for 2 years, so he was tired of it.I believe that.

The level of success he had with the Canes was unmatched at the time too. Jimmy's history was a series of 5 year projects, after which he was ready to move on to the next challenge. Also the fact that he stayed out of coaching until 96 despite what must have been a lot of offers shows how picky he was about what he wanted to do.I hear what yo say, but I feel that Jimmy was all about success.

Well, I do struggle to believe we ever would have drafted Kavika Pittman had Jimmy been here. It took time for the roster to declineThe level of success he had with the Canes was unmatched at the time too.

Any idea that he could have been kept here long term is the wildest of speculation. Even if he might have stayed one more year or two, does anyone believe he would have been here in 96 or 97 when the team fell out of the championship picture? Pure fantasy.
I can think of a couple:Why did he walk away from Miami?
I don't any special reason for him to have stayed in Dallas that didnt exist Miami.
He loves Florida, okay?!
