In 10 years Jerry Jones will be Al Davis..lol. Ain't far away now.

yeah the game has pretty much passed davis by. hopefully jones will turn the team over to his son by then.

I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

i dont hate jerry jones. he tries to do what's best for the team most of the time. sometimes he lets his own personal agenda interfere too much though. ie: TO

[sup-rbeast]

I don't hate him. But, look at this. When he first boght the Cowboys and hired Jimmy Johnson, Johnson did things his way and built a 2 time Superbowl winner. When Jones wanted to do things his way, Johnson wouldn't go along and he was fired and replaced with Switzer who won another Superbowl with the team Johnson had built. When Switzer got tired of being led in his decisions by Jones, Dallas saw a string of ineffective puppets take the helm until Parcells took the job. Bill improved the team drastically until Jones decided he need TO and to basically call the shots as far as who the QB was gonna be. Now they have Wade Phillips who will be like Gailey and Campo. They will be OK but until they get a coach with the power to coach as he chooses they'll be an also ran. I look at it like this...the game has passed Al Davis by...but Oakland has been to the big one since Jerry Jones has (with less steller players overall). Davis and Jones both need to figure out that owners own, players play, and coaches coach.

i dont think wade phillips is a bad hire. he knows the 3-4 defense, and thats what parcells built.

I think he'll serve as a stop gap until a better coach can be found. He wasn't good in denver and wasn't good in Buffalo. He's one of those coaches that makes a good coordinator and an average head coach. I'd say within 2 years he's gone.
