Jerry Jones is the paradox of the Cowboys. He literally saved the franchise and also is the reason why they have been irrelevant for nearly 30 years. The day Jerry dies, the day the Cowboys have a chance.
@@RD-zx6py Ok. There's been plenty of teams that have gone on SB/Conference title droughts. Why is this one so special? The Steelers from 80-04 never won a title & yet it's never brought up. How about the Dolphins? Bills?
The irony is they are the most relevant team in the league. Despite not winning a SB since 95'. They have almost never been a basement dweller. Since the Romo era they have been a .500 or better team when the starting QB stays healthy.
Duuuuude I’ve been saying that forever. Give it up Jerry your not a football guy. And Switzer did win a ring with Jimmies team just like Grunden with Dungy’s Bucs
@@Mikeymike301 I dunno about Phillips or Garrett, he may have been meddlesome as all hell, but those coaches made the playoffs at least once or twice. They seemed to have a ton of orders to follow, but they probably told him to get off their asses at some point. Campo was NEVER in charge. Just watch the first Cowboys season of Hard Knocks. Jerry at the head of the table during coaching meetings while Dave takes notes like a secretary.
As a 49-year-old diehard lifelong Eagles fan, I take no pleasure in saying that the 1992 and 1993 Cowboys were in my opinion, as complete and dominant of any team in my lifetime. They had no holes anywhere. There was no doubt in my mind that they would have won 5+ Super Bowls during the 90s as they were constructed. They were young. They were ridiculously talented. They had a fantastic coaching staff. Most importantly, they were stacked at the two most important position groups in the NFL… offensive line and defensive line. How good was this roster? It was so good that after Jimmy Johnson left, they won a Super Bowl with perhaps the worst head coach (Switzer) that any successful team has ever had. That team was like a ship sailing across the ocean who then had its power cut. Eventually it was going to come to a stop. But because of its built up momentum, it continued to sail for miles before laws of physics brought it to a halt. The only pleasure I can take in how great that team was and could have continued to be, is the fact that Jerry Jones’ ego was so ridiculously absurd that he wanted more credit for himself. It burned him up that Jimmy Johnson was getting more credit than him. Anyone who tells you it was a reason other than that is lying. Flat out. Jerry’s punishment is he’s become the modern version of Al Davis- A punchline who has never even sniffed ultimate success for 25 years due to his massively unjustified ego resulted in Jimmy Johnson leaving.
Interestingly enough, Johnson admitted that Buddy Ryan’s Eagles team gave him more trouble than SB winning Giants and Skins. So he built his roster to specifically attack Eagles more effectively. Such as drafting big Erik Williams to matchup with Reggie White.
In a nutshell! Yes sir! Like u said their line was stacked on both sides of the ball. They won in the trenches and had enough skilled position players to mow over teams, and they had attitude. Barry Switzer who?!?!?😂 Jerry keep playing. His qb1 rn will not reach his full potential as a player.
Best comment on any NFL related video ive ever read. @alexandriaocasio-smollett5078 knows football to say the least. the early 90s cowboys were the Muhammad Ali of football.. unbeatable by most standards by wearing you down over 4 quarters. Talent but not the most talented team but very motivated by their coach and the consequences of failure. Something the post Jerry Boys will never have. Thats the difference in professional sports. As a lifelong cowboys fan since 1988 I am now divorced from a bad relationship with Jerrys cowboys and enjoy watching old eagles games from the late 80s and early 90s. The fued between jimmy and Jerry is a human ego problem much the same way buddy ryan would never bring in a top offensive coordinator to compliment his amazing defenses. The beauty of sports is the parody of the human condition.
As a raiders fan, I agree. Jerry Jones can’t help himself when the cameras are on him. He’s riding the success of that dynasty from close to 30 years ago til today, yet Dallas hasn’t reached the Super Bowl since.
@@hitek9too255 The legend states that when Allen left the Raiders, he took a photo of Al Davis, placed it in a bowl of water, and then placed that in his freezer. It sounds ridiculous, but it's apparently a real black magic curse, the idea being that it will "freeze" someone in place and they won't achieve any more accomplishments in life. The NFL Network did an episode of their Top 10 show on curse, and they had an actual voodoo priestess on the show who said that that was a real deal black magic curse. So, I now really want to go to Marcus Allen's house and look in his freezer.
This is definitely one of the beef history videos that people have been waiting on, but I wouldn't say it's THE video people have been waiting on. I'm pretty sure people would also like to see Michael Jordan vs. Isiah Thomas.
@@JoranSkeete bro same exact. I was almost going to leave a comment saying they made a mistake.. but luckily I looked it up first haha Found out several interesting things tho: 1) Jerry and Jimmy are the same age (that doesn’t feel right for some reason) 2) Barry is older than both by more than 5 years (would’ve guessed he was the same age as Jimmy) 3) Barry was the RB coach at Arky for 4 years following his playing career as a Razorback. (Besides OU, that was the only CFB job he ever had) 4) In 1964, with Jimmy and Jerry there as players, the 3 of them were able to win a NC (the only one in Arkys history). Shits crazy
I really thought Jerry was like 5-8 years older than Barry and Jimmy. Turns out Barry is the one who is 5 years older lol. Guess jones just looked older
I mean it’s like coming inside someone’s house and the house manager is saying he runs the place when the owner owns the property and pays the staff. Owner is 10000% is the true respect. It’s not like Jimmy Johnson is signing the checks?
Snyder is a whole different level of bad CEO in terms of picking inept people to run his org. Jerry as an owner is hands on in his GM approach and to a degree has developed an eye for talent to play for his org. But due to his ego, he's only choosing specific types of coaches to manage/develop the talents he has taken. And those guys probably aren't enough even with more roster holes Jerry has to fill in the last 5 years.
Mediocrity not irrelevancy. There’s a huge difference. Irrelevant means nobody cares whether you exist or not. Mediocre means you just suck at everything. The Cowboys are mediocre. Not irrelevant. Boy are they not irrelevant. They’re talked about across sports media over any other player or team to the point they draw the hate of every non Cowboys fan. They get the most views because there are 2 things NFL fans root for is for their team to win and the Cowboys to lose. Their playoff appearances and losses have provided countless amounts of entertainment for non Cowboys fans to laugh at their and their fans’ expense. The Cowboys are basically the media circus in sports. Hell even their cheerleaders are the hottest and most famous. But as a football team they are the ultimate underachievers, more glazed than a glazed donut. All hype, no show. All talk no work. All style no substance. Not even a conference championship appearance in 30 years. And the only reason that’s a big deal is because Cowboys fans and media make it a big deal.
There’s not a single soul on this planet that believes Jerry had any part in the success of the Cowboys dynasty. Deep down even Jerry knows it was all Jimmy.
Of course Jerry had a part in it. Just not on the football side. He made them profitable, thereby providing the foundational funding that allowed Jimmy to prosper on the field. You can't have one without the other. The problem was Jerry wanted credit for the football side of things. (Cowboy fan since '66)
@@zthomas4th I suppose _any_ is being a little hyperbolic. Jerry did hire Jimmy so that definitely counts for something. But from there it was all Jimmy. Jerry had no part in the initial roster shakeup (including the Walker trade- which he was against) or any draft or personnel moves thereafter. So if we’re determining how much each person is responsible for the team’s success, I’d say Jerry-5% Jimmy -95%. Jerry deserves credit for hiring Jimmy, but had he hired anybody else, they wouldn’t have won any super bowls.
@@TK0_23_ good for him. I’m sure you guys are more profitable than ever right now. With all that money, how successful have you been since this team dissolved? How many super bowls or playoff appearances with Jerry as the GM?
@@leeclark6272 - you mean all the times he did prior in college? or how he was only given four seasons with Miami, where he had a washed up Dan Marino on the cusp of retirement, yet still drafted Zack Thomas, Sam Madison, Jason Taylor, went to the playoffs in year two, improved to 10-6 and to the divisional round in year three when they added another pro-bowl star Patrick Surtain Sr., and then made the divisional round again in year four? He could have drafted even better, sure. He also ran into the Buzz Saw called the Broncos who won back to back Super Bowls and Tom Coughlin's Jaguars (who are forgotten for how great they were) before Coughlin would win two super bowls with the Giants. In a 2021 interview, Johnson revealed that the Dolphins could have traded for Peyton Manning in the 1998 NFL draft, theoretically offering the Colts their entire draft board in exchange for the first overall pick. Johnson declined to give more details to this trade, with him stating, "I probably gave you too much already."
@@PaulGaither college is a different animal compared to the pros as we've seen throughout the years with all of the college coaches that were disasters in the NFL You also forget to mention that one of the 'buzzsaws' he lost to by a score of 62-7. Fact is the Dolphins went 39-25 the previous 4 years under Shula and went 36-28 in the 4 years with Jimmy with a final season going 9-7 and losing that 62-7 game. Jerry and Jimmy needed each other. Jimmy was a helluva coach, but foolishly thought he could do it all by himself and unless you're Paul Brown coaching 1960's football, it has a horrible track record of failure. Jerry thought that it was all about being able to have an 'eye for talent' when it's much more about talent development, led by the head coach's direction and the environment he creates. He also went the opposite direction of teams like the Steelers in terms of personnel strategy when the salary cap was in place by going for trades and FA's instead of building thru the draft and stockpiling talent. But together, Jerry and Jimmy made for one of the greatest combinations of GM/HC in the history of the game. Too bad that both of their egos got involved and destroyed it. PS, take Jimmy's stories with a grain of salt. They're usually tall tales/revisionist history/wishful thinking that leave out important details and stretch the truth and circumstances to paint himself in a positive light.
You guys should do one on Ichiro vs Mike Hargrove. I'm surprised it never came up on the Bois documentary but it was reported that the two never got along. And remember when Mike abruptly quit? Well right after that, Ichiro reupped with a new extension, that cant be a coincidence in my opinion.
They needed each other to achieve this, all vaulted by the Herschel Walker trade. But when one can't handle the other getting credit and the other isn't one to stay with the same team for a very long time, a playoff drought ensues. Also, good to hear from Steven Godfrey again.
Jimmy didn't need Jerry. He was already a national champion without him. The only upside Jerry might have had over other owners was his ability to stay out of the way and he couldn't even keep that up for long.
@@holstorrsceadus1990 At least he was willing to sign the checks and gave Johnson some freedom for a few years. Culverhouse, Synder, McNair, Tepper - for as much of a circus as Jones has been post 1995, at least he actually made the most of the most fortunate trade ever. An owner like them would have wasted all of this in an instant - just like the Ricky Williams trade.

Jerry has proven over the last few decades that without Jimmy he can’t win much of anything. He wants complete control over every aspect of the team instead of letting the head coach do his job.
I’m an eagles fan & in Jerry’s defense from 2021-2023 they’ve had some stacked teams defense & offense stacked it’s not Jerry fault the big time players ain’t showing up in the bright lights
Cowboys fans know this is true. I just talked about this with a friend the other day. Jerry thinks he put those teams together. But he was just writing the checks. And the team has been in this void since the 90s because Jerry won't step aside. I worry that his son will be the same way and that there's no real hope until Jerry's grandson takes over 30 years from now.
YOu will just know if Jerry's sons treat the process of acquiring the right HC/staff with respect or with disdain. Tepper may have been clowned on getting hoodwinked by Matt Rhule for 2 years (and extra money). But he bounces back and not only settles on Frank Reich whose a good HC by himself, but helps assemble a strong staff around including a young overachiever for a DC in Ejiro Evero who got great results scheming up a Broncos defense full of strong talent on secondary.
I was a sophomore in High school when this happened i was in shop class and one of the school coaches walked in and said Jimmy's gone. At the time i didn't realize how much of a impact losing Jimmy was! Barry got us a Superbowl but no Cowboys fan would have thought that it would have been our last victorious Superbowl! I just knew we could have won one more in the 90s!
As a Cowboys fan all my life and got to see what Jerry has done in the last almost 3 decades since the last Super Bowl. He did not do it alone, and this was his biggest mistake. His pride and ego.
What’s so underrated on Jimmy’s talent as a coach, is his ability as a GM/ talent evaluator. Not only did his personnel decisions stack the Cowboys in the 90s for 3 Super Bowls, ( Switzer won the 3rd with the team Jimmy assembled); but he practically did the same as far as building the Dolphins. When Jimmy got to Miami things were different and the Dolphins were keeping an old roster together to win a Championship for Marino, ( which never happened). However he continued to draft well. Only at this point his heart wasn’t in it anymore. Still, once Jerry left after the 99 season, the Dolphins had 2 more Playoff teams and 4 consecutive winning seasons with Dave Wannstead as coach! Jimmy’s also helped other coaches, ( mainly Bill Bellichick in his early days in New England), with drafting players. Meanwhile, Jerry has only hired one strong willed coach in Bill Parcels who got him Tony Romo and the 13-3 season Wade Phillips had the year after Parcells left. Jerry gets an A+ as a business man in raising the Cowboys brand, but he fails as a GM!
I think it's safe to say that if Jimmie Johnson had stayed with The Cowboys they would have won at least 2 more championships. Hell, I believe they probably would've 3-peated in '94
Man that 94 San Fran squad might have been the 2nd best team to win the SB in the 90's, after either the 92 or 93 Cowboys. 49ers adding Deion was an absolute game changer, on top having MVP Steve Young, Jerry Rice still in his prime, the underrated Ricky Waters and a number of star quality players on that defense. Even with Jimmy, I don't think the 9ers were gonna be denied that year.
The Dallas Cowboys, where Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith played an active part, were a powerhouse team representing the NFL in the 1990s. The Bills vs. Cowboys games in Super Bowl XXVII and Super Bowl XXVIII were fun to watch.
XXVII was an ass-kicking for the ages, while XXVIII was just a case of the Cowboys grinding the Bills into dust in the second half. What a great team that was.
@insanusmaximus2857 27 turned out that way but for the first 20 minutes or so it sure didn't look or feel like it. It didn't take long for the wheels to fall off though lol
While Jimmy Johnson will always be considered an NFL great, its really a shame we didn’t get to see what he could’ve done at the Cowboys. This could’ve been a Patriots level dynasty back in the day, and it’s a damn shame it never came to fruition.
Jerry Jones in Dallas is very similar to George Steinbrenner's era in NY, but without a salary cap George was able to have some success, but overall he tanked the team. They weren't successful until he got suspended by MLB. To his credit, when he saw that getting out of the way would let the Yankees thrive he did mostly stay out of the way after it.
These needed each other, or at least someone who was willing to challenge them, in order to find success. Johnson never won as much away from Dallas. Jerry never won with a team that Johnson didn’t help build Both of them failed to realize that they were both responsible for the Cowboys success. Not just one of them
I mean he actually had a better win % after he left Dallas. 44-36 with Dallas (55%) and 36-28 with Miami (56.3%). Also it's not like he coached for another 10 years after he left Dallas, only 4 more so the "never won as much away from Dallas" is incorrect if you mean after he left. As Rev pointed out he was 81-34 with the 'Canes so he most definitely won more away from Dallas.
People don't realize(and can look it up) that Johnson went to the playoffs 3 of the 4 seasons he was at Miami, something they haven't done since his departure and something Dallas hasn't done since either Switzer left.
Cowboys with Johnson: completely dominant Cowboys without Johnson: a complete disaster of unproductivity for decades. Yeah we all know who was responsible for their success.
The thing is: Jerry indisputably has an eye for talent. The Cowboys teams since 1996 have had more than plenty of star-studded rosters. The problem is, I think, that Jerry has created such a toxic atmosphere for coaches that very few would ever go there. It's why he's had such a long line of clapmasters since Jimmy Johnson.
But that’s the thing, though. He really didn’t. He just wanted to make it seem like he did. In Goodman’s “Boys Will Be Boys” about the era, there’s a part of it that covers the post-Johnson era where Jerry really did make draft picks. They were horrendous. Not a single one of them ever made an impact. His eye for talent is atrocious.
Jones loves name value is what you mean. He loves the flashy acquisition without really knowing how it will fit together. Johnson understood the larger puzzle; Jones just thinks if you buy the flashiest pieces it will work itself out. Which is why Johnson's Cowboys teams were very, very hard outs in the playoffs, and some years impossible. But Jones' teams FEEL like playoff underachievers but simply aren't true contenders.
@@rumble4114 Great example is the hershcel walker trade. Despite leading the league in rushing one year, and despite the reputation gained in college, Herschel does not change direction well. Johnson is the only one so far that openly stated that. Big, strong, and fast, but he said he wasn't nifty on his feet. Granted Jimmy didn't do much with the Dolphins. But the eye is definitely not with Jerry.

For a Texas-sized Beef, I was hoping this video could be longer but I will say that it was nicely done and covered all the major areas of the beef. Granted, it definitely seems like the beef was rather hyped by the media but it's anything but pink slime. Great work Secret Base as always!
Here are a couple of points I wanna make about this Jerry Jones vs. Jimmy Johnson beef: 1: I believe if Jerry & Jimmy had put their Texas-size egos aside and actually worked together as one, the Dallas Cowboys would’ve won more than 3 Super Bowls in the ‘90s. Maybe even 4 or 5. The Cowboys had all the talent and a perfect core of Hall-of-Famers intact. 5 Super Bowl titles was not out of the question. 2: Some of the Cowboys players didn’t respect Barry Switzer as a head coach…including Troy Aikman. Troy loved that Jimmy Johnson coached him hard, but still treated him like a man, with love, appreciation and respect. Troy also complained that Switzer ran the Cowboys too softly, like a country club. And no, that’s not a complement.

Growing up as a cowboys fan, witnessing the 3 championships of the 90’s I’ll always be grateful that I got to witness it. Jimmy and Jerry are like two brothers who refuse to allow the other to be “one up”. This feud will probably last until their final breath, but it’s entertaining to say the least lol
THIS is why we continue to be mediocre til this very day. Jerry STILL wants to show he can win HIS way we haven't had a coach with his own mind since Jimmy, not even Parcels.
Imagine if one of them tried to let bygones be bygones on April Fools day just to say "sike, you thought" and have someone prank the other from behind with ice bucket
Jimmy Johnson created the draft pick trade value spreadsheet that NFL teams still use in 2023. If anyone questions who built the talent of that team, look right there for who ran the team drafts.
Jimmy Made that team. He was the Coach for the East West College all star game. He knew all the good players from then and drafted them. He did the pre draft board right before he left. Cowboys owe him all three Superbowls.
Jimmy Johnson gets the credit and the only credit to Jerry Jones was bringing Jimmy Johnson in. Jimmy created a dynasty and Jerry destroyed it and has not even had the Cowboys play in a championship game since, which is almost 30 years now.
If it wasn't for Jerry Jones hiring Jimmy Johnson, the 49ers would easily have at least 7 Super Bowls right now. If it wasn't for Jerry Jones causing Jimmy Johnson to LEAVE, the Cowboys would easily have at least 7 Super Bowls right now
Their initial arrangement answers the question. Jimmy was the sole caretaker of the football and Jerry took care of the business side. Since Jimmy was the sole decision maker of anything football, Jimmy was solely responsible for the roster and the success of the team. Jerry was solely responsible for paying the players that Jimmy chose, so he gets the credit for writing the checks. Trading Herschel Walker was so outside of the box, I can't believe Jones had anything to do with it. I totally believe Jimmy when he says Jones was against it.
The beef that made Jerry Jones the most polarizing figure in probably all of NFL history. His lightning fast repair of the Cowboys guarantees him a comfy spot in NFL lore, but his numerous power trips that made the team go from dynasty to fluctuating levels of mediocrity leaves a sour taste in many people's mouths.
Please do a rewind of Djokovic match point saving return at the US Open 2011 , i understand you are probably waiting for this year's US open to kick off for that. So since Roland Garros is near how about you do a rewind of Federer breaking Djokovic winning streak at Roland Garros in 2011. Also about Soderling's legendary upsetting of Nadal in 2009.
Honestly yes, they almost beat the 9ers even with Switzer, and in 1996 they definitely go better than 10-6, and most likely beat favre who always struggled against them.
The Cowboys will not win another Super Bowl until Jerry is gone and they have a new owner and GM. there’s a reason for their mediocre playoff success and no SB’s the last 25+ years, and there’s only 1 dude that’s been a constant the whole time
Tom Landry, Tex Schramm, and Gil Brandt made the Dallas Cowboys. Roger Staubach took them to "America's Team" status in the 1970's. The Cowboys were America's Team long before Jimmy and Jerry showed up. In fact when Jerry & Jimmy took over the team there were already 9 players on the roster that would start or heavily contribute on the 1992 Super Bowl Team. Including Michael Irvin, Ken Norton, Nate Newton, and Mark Tuinei. They already had Herschel Walker who they would use to add multiple top 100 picks. They already had the #1 pick in the 1989 draft and if Landry had stayed he was going to draft Troy Aikman anyway. In other words the Landry, Schramm, Brandt era set up Jimmy and Jerry pretty well to start their run.
Jerry Jones is the paradox of the Cowboys. He literally saved the franchise and also is the reason why they have been irrelevant for nearly 30 years. The day Jerry dies, the day the Cowboys have a chance.
I don't think you understand what irrelevant means. This video and the constant coverage proves they aren't irrelevant.

0:29 “Switzer, who coached both men as players at the University of Arkansas”
Bro that’s wild.. I never knew Barry coached *_both_* Jimmy and Jerry
I thought it was a mistake and had to look it up straight away
Damn.... That's wild man!! I had to look it up to make sure it wasn't a joke.. it's damn real! W.T.H?!
@@JoranSkeete bro same exact.
I was almost going to leave a comment saying they made a mistake.. but luckily I looked it up first haha
Found out several interesting things tho:
1) Jerry and Jimmy are the same age (that doesn’t feel right for some reason)
2) Barry is older than both by more than 5 years (would’ve guessed he was the same age as Jimmy)
3) Barry was the RB coach at Arky for 4 years following his playing career as a Razorback. (Besides OU, that was the only CFB job he ever had)
4) In 1964, with Jimmy and Jerry there as players, the 3 of them were able to win a NC (the only one in Arkys history).
Shits crazy
I really thought Jerry was like 5-8 years older than Barry and Jimmy. Turns out Barry is the one who is 5 years older lol. Guess jones just looked older
@@harrygomez2789 right haha
The Jerry Jones drunk at the League Meetings story is something I wish Twitter had been around for 😄
So many stories would be making the rounds on social media.
They need to make this beef into an HBO series starring Danny McBride as Jimmy and Walton Goggins as Jerry.
This would actually be a great idea. The 90s Cowboys were crazy. So much cocaine and wild antics it would translate well to a HBO miniseries
I would totally watch that. And I DESPISE the Cowboys.
So one needs to pitch this like right now
🔥🔥🔥
That's GOLD
Billionaires can’t handle it when their ego takes a hit. Just ask Daniel Snyder.
I mean it’s like coming inside someone’s house and the house manager is saying he runs the place when the owner owns the property and pays the staff. Owner is 10000% is the true respect. It’s not like Jimmy Johnson is signing the checks?
Email
Snyder is a whole different level of bad CEO in terms of picking inept people to run his org. Jerry as an owner is hands on in his GM approach and to a degree has developed an eye for talent to play for his org. But due to his ego, he's only choosing specific types of coaches to manage/develop the talents he has taken. And those guys probably aren't enough even with more roster holes Jerry has to fill in the last 5 years.
Snyder literally destroyed a once proud franchise
Jerry's ego is still the cowboys Achilles
Your description of Dallas in the 80's has never been put so eloquently. I love how much it stings, especially living in Dallas all my life.
Imagine dooming your team to 30 years of irrelevancy over a beef.
Mediocrity not irrelevancy. There’s a huge difference. Irrelevant means nobody cares whether you exist or not. Mediocre means you just suck at everything. The Cowboys are mediocre. Not irrelevant. Boy are they not irrelevant. They’re talked about across sports media over any other player or team to the point they draw the hate of every non Cowboys fan. They get the most views because there are 2 things NFL fans root for is for their team to win and the Cowboys to lose. Their playoff appearances and losses have provided countless amounts of entertainment for non Cowboys fans to laugh at their and their fans’ expense. The Cowboys are basically the media circus in sports. Hell even their cheerleaders are the hottest and most famous. But as a football team they are the ultimate underachievers, more glazed than a glazed donut. All hype, no show. All talk no work. All style no substance. Not even a conference championship appearance in 30 years. And the only reason that’s a big deal is because Cowboys fans and media make it a big deal.
My friends, who are in their 20s and 30s, and my stepmom who is on the older side of her 60s all talk about Jerry Jones in identical ways.
There’s not a single soul on this planet that believes Jerry had any part in the success of the Cowboys dynasty. Deep down even Jerry knows it was all Jimmy.
Of course Jerry had a part in it. Just not on the football side. He made them profitable, thereby providing the foundational funding that allowed Jimmy to prosper on the field. You can't have one without the other. The problem was Jerry wanted credit for the football side of things. (Cowboy fan since '66)
Who hired Jimmy?
@@zthomas4th I suppose _any_ is being a little hyperbolic. Jerry did hire Jimmy so that definitely counts for something. But from there it was all Jimmy. Jerry had no part in the initial roster shakeup (including the Walker trade- which he was against) or any draft or personnel moves thereafter.
So if we’re determining how much each person is responsible for the team’s success, I’d say Jerry-5% Jimmy -95%. Jerry deserves credit for hiring Jimmy, but had he hired anybody else, they wouldn’t have won any super bowls.
@@TK0_23_ good for him. I’m sure you guys are more profitable than ever right now. With all that money, how successful have you been since this team dissolved? How many super bowls or playoff appearances with Jerry as the GM?
@Slime Season ひ I agree but it's foolish to say Jerry didn't have anything to do with the dynasty
If Jones made the cowboys, why can't he make them again?
Answer is: he didn’t make them.
@Amazingdestroy Jimmy didn't make cuz why he couldn't do it again
@@leeclark6272 - you mean all the times he did prior in college? or how he was only given four seasons with Miami, where he had a washed up Dan Marino on the cusp of retirement, yet still drafted Zack Thomas, Sam Madison, Jason Taylor, went to the playoffs in year two, improved to 10-6 and to the divisional round in year three when they added another pro-bowl star Patrick Surtain Sr., and then made the divisional round again in year four?
He could have drafted even better, sure. He also ran into the Buzz Saw called the Broncos who won back to back Super Bowls and Tom Coughlin's Jaguars (who are forgotten for how great they were) before Coughlin would win two super bowls with the Giants.
In a 2021 interview, Johnson revealed that the Dolphins could have traded for Peyton Manning in the 1998 NFL draft, theoretically offering the Colts their entire draft board in exchange for the first overall pick. Johnson declined to give more details to this trade, with him stating, "I probably gave you too much already."
@@PaulGaither college is a different animal compared to the pros as we've seen throughout the years with all of the college coaches that were disasters in the NFL
You also forget to mention that one of the 'buzzsaws' he lost to by a score of 62-7. Fact is the Dolphins went 39-25 the previous 4 years under Shula and went 36-28 in the 4 years with Jimmy with a final season going 9-7 and losing that 62-7 game.
Jerry and Jimmy needed each other. Jimmy was a helluva coach, but foolishly thought he could do it all by himself and unless you're Paul Brown coaching 1960's football, it has a horrible track record of failure.
Jerry thought that it was all about being able to have an 'eye for talent' when it's much more about talent development, led by the head coach's direction and the environment he creates. He also went the opposite direction of teams like the Steelers in terms of personnel strategy when the salary cap was in place by going for trades and FA's instead of building thru the draft and stockpiling talent.
But together, Jerry and Jimmy made for one of the greatest combinations of GM/HC in the history of the game. Too bad that both of their egos got involved and destroyed it.
PS, take Jimmy's stories with a grain of salt. They're usually tall tales/revisionist history/wishful thinking that leave out important details and stretch the truth and circumstances to paint himself in a positive light.
@@PaulGaitherwell said
You guys should do one on Ichiro vs Mike Hargrove. I'm surprised it never came up on the Bois documentary but it was reported that the two never got along. And remember when Mike abruptly quit? Well right after that, Ichiro reupped with a new extension, that cant be a coincidence in my opinion.
I would watch this and I'm not intimately a fan of either player. THIS would be a fine video.
It crushed me then and i still get emotional about what could have been. Those days i was living in Texas and it was great. ❤️
They needed each other to achieve this, all vaulted by the Herschel Walker trade. But when one can't handle the other getting credit and the other isn't one to stay with the same team for a very long time, a playoff drought ensues. Also, good to hear from Steven Godfrey again.
Jimmy didn't need Jerry. He was already a national champion without him. The only upside Jerry might have had over other owners was his ability to stay out of the way and he couldn't even keep that up for long.
Jimmy needed Jerry about as much as any other great GM or coach needs an owner: to sign the checks lol
@@holstorrsceadus1990 At least he was willing to sign the checks and gave Johnson some freedom for a few years. Culverhouse, Synder, McNair, Tepper - for as much of a circus as Jones has been post 1995, at least he actually made the most of the most fortunate trade ever. An owner like them would have wasted all of this in an instant - just like the Ricky Williams trade.

Jimmy Johnson was such a great coach at Miami University.
University of Miami (FL)
One of the rare exceptions where a college coach succeeded in the pros
Canes fan here he should ve 3 titles in a row. Testervede throwing 5 picks at the 87 Fiesta Bowl and we got hosed at Notre Dame in 88.
Miami University is in Oxford, OH
Jerry has proven over the last few decades that without Jimmy he can’t win much of anything. He wants complete control over every aspect of the team instead of letting the head coach do his job.
I’m an eagles fan & in Jerry’s defense from 2021-2023 they’ve had some stacked teams defense & offense stacked it’s not Jerry fault the big time players ain’t showing up in the bright lights
Yes. The beef we’d all been waiting for.
A well aged, spicy Texas brisket.
Definitely been waiting on this beef! I hope y’all still do MJ vs Isaiah Thomas, especially since that beef will never die apparently lol
Cowboys fans know this is true. I just talked about this with a friend the other day. Jerry thinks he put those teams together. But he was just writing the checks. And the team has been in this void since the 90s because Jerry won't step aside.
I worry that his son will be the same way and that there's no real hope until Jerry's grandson takes over 30 years from now.
YOu will just know if Jerry's sons treat the process of acquiring the right HC/staff with respect or with disdain. Tepper may have been clowned on getting hoodwinked by Matt Rhule for 2 years (and extra money). But he bounces back and not only settles on Frank Reich whose a good HC by himself, but helps assemble a strong staff around including a young overachiever for a DC in Ejiro Evero who got great results scheming up a Broncos defense full of strong talent on secondary.
@@t4d0WHi. I’m from the future to tell you that David Tepper’s Carolina Panthers are now 2-15.
Honestly his son saved the franchise from drafting Manziel like Jerry wanted to, he would still be a step up.
I was a sophomore in High school when this happened i was in shop class and one of the school coaches walked in and said Jimmy's gone. At the time i didn't realize how much of a impact losing Jimmy was! Barry got us a Superbowl but no Cowboys fan would have thought that it would have been our last victorious Superbowl! I just knew we could have won one more in the 90s!
I can't be the only one, when I say. These beef episodes are just not long enough.
As a Cowboys fan all my life and got to see what Jerry has done in the last almost 3 decades since the last Super Bowl. He did not do it alone, and this was his biggest mistake. His pride and ego.
What’s so underrated on Jimmy’s talent as a coach, is his ability as a GM/ talent evaluator. Not only did his personnel decisions stack the Cowboys in the 90s for 3 Super Bowls, ( Switzer won the 3rd with the team Jimmy assembled); but he practically did the same as far as building the Dolphins. When Jimmy got to Miami things were different and the Dolphins were keeping an old roster together to win a Championship for Marino, ( which never happened). However he continued to draft well. Only at this point his heart wasn’t in it anymore. Still, once Jerry left after the 99 season, the Dolphins had 2 more Playoff teams and 4 consecutive winning seasons with Dave Wannstead as coach! Jimmy’s also helped other coaches, ( mainly Bill Bellichick in his early days in New England), with drafting players.
Meanwhile, Jerry has only hired one strong willed coach in Bill Parcels who got him Tony Romo and the 13-3 season Wade Phillips had the year after Parcells left. Jerry gets an A+ as a business man in raising the Cowboys brand, but he fails as a GM!
I think it's safe to say that if Jimmie Johnson had stayed with The Cowboys they would have won at least 2 more championships. Hell, I believe they probably would've 3-peated in '94
Neil O'Donnell guaranteed him at least one more.
No.
@@krazie835 yes
Man that 94 San Fran squad might have been the 2nd best team to win the SB in the 90's, after either the 92 or 93 Cowboys. 49ers adding Deion was an absolute game changer, on top having MVP Steve Young, Jerry Rice still in his prime, the underrated Ricky Waters and a number of star quality players on that defense. Even with Jimmy, I don't think the 9ers were gonna be denied that year.
Jimmie Johnson is 7 time NASCAR champion
Once he puts Jimmy in the Ring of Honor... us Cowboys fans can rejoice again!!!
Lol. Sure
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Dallas Cowboys, where Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith played an active part, were a powerhouse team representing the NFL in the 1990s.
The Bills vs. Cowboys games in Super Bowl XXVII and Super Bowl XXVIII were fun to watch.
XXVII was an ass-kicking for the ages, while XXVIII was just a case of the Cowboys grinding the Bills into dust in the second half. What a great team that was.
@insanusmaximus2857 27 turned out that way but for the first 20 minutes or so it sure didn't look or feel like it. It didn't take long for the wheels to fall off though lol
Fun for the cowboys maybe. Jim Kelly probably knew they were the clear absolute under dogs.
We need a Sherman-Revis Beef History🤝
I'd watch that.
@@MrDariusJWilliams me too
Dallas hasn’t been the same since Jimmy
I really liked how the video ended. It is the perfect encapsulation of both men.
While Jimmy Johnson will always be considered an NFL great, its really a shame we didn’t get to see what he could’ve done at the Cowboys. This could’ve been a Patriots level dynasty back in the day, and it’s a damn shame it never came to fruition.
Please keep the beef videos coming. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. There is so much beef in the sports realm we could make a hamburger stand.
Jerry Jones in Dallas is very similar to George Steinbrenner's era in NY, but without a salary cap George was able to have some success, but overall he tanked the team. They weren't successful until he got suspended by MLB. To his credit, when he saw that getting out of the way would let the Yankees thrive he did mostly stay out of the way after it.
Grumpy Old Men Football Edition 🏈
As a Panthers fan living in Dallas now I see why Cowboys fans hate Jerry 😂
These needed each other, or at least someone who was willing to challenge them, in order to find success.
Johnson never won as much away from Dallas. Jerry never won with a team that Johnson didn’t help build
Both of them failed to realize that they were both responsible for the Cowboys success. Not just one of them
Johnson won at the U. And won big.
Jimmy got picks from Harshel Walker trade and hit big. Dan Marino Sucked the dolphin life out of Jimmy.
Jerry just signed the checks. That's it.
I mean he actually had a better win % after he left Dallas. 44-36 with Dallas (55%) and 36-28 with Miami (56.3%). Also it's not like he coached for another 10 years after he left Dallas, only 4 more so the "never won as much away from Dallas" is incorrect if you mean after he left. As Rev pointed out he was 81-34 with the 'Canes so he most definitely won more away from Dallas.
People don't realize(and can look it up) that Johnson went to the playoffs 3 of the 4 seasons he was at Miami, something they haven't done since his departure and something Dallas hasn't done since either Switzer left.
Definitely have been waiting for this beef, enough 90s cowboys videos on secret base to make a movie about it.
This story would make such a good movie
Cowboys with Johnson: completely dominant
Cowboys without Johnson: a complete disaster of unproductivity for decades.
Yeah we all know who was responsible for their success.
The thing is: Jerry indisputably has an eye for talent. The Cowboys teams since 1996 have had more than plenty of star-studded rosters. The problem is, I think, that Jerry has created such a toxic atmosphere for coaches that very few would ever go there. It's why he's had such a long line of clapmasters since Jimmy Johnson.
But that’s the thing, though. He really didn’t. He just wanted to make it seem like he did.
In Goodman’s “Boys Will Be Boys” about the era, there’s a part of it that covers the post-Johnson era where Jerry really did make draft picks.
They were horrendous. Not a single one of them ever made an impact. His eye for talent is atrocious.
Eye for talent?? What am I missing here
Jerry has no eye for talent 😂😂😂
Jones loves name value is what you mean. He loves the flashy acquisition without really knowing how it will fit together. Johnson understood the larger puzzle; Jones just thinks if you buy the flashiest pieces it will work itself out. Which is why Johnson's Cowboys teams were very, very hard outs in the playoffs, and some years impossible. But Jones' teams FEEL like playoff underachievers but simply aren't true contenders.
@@rumble4114 Great example is the hershcel walker trade. Despite leading the league in rushing one year, and despite the reputation gained in college, Herschel does not change direction well.
Johnson is the only one so far that openly stated that. Big, strong, and fast, but he said he wasn't nifty on his feet.
Granted Jimmy didn't do much with the Dolphins. But the eye is definitely not with Jerry.
Thank you! Long awaited!
Michael Jordan & Isaiah Thomas has to be around the corner correct? 🔥🔥🔥🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
A beef history video that's long overdue
19 Nov 2023: During the NFL on Fox pregame show, Jimmy Johnson is in Charlotte for DAL-CAR
With him is Cowboys Owner-GM Jerry Jones who announces that Jimmy Johnson will enter the Cowboys ROH on 30 Dec during the Cowboys home game against the Lions
For a Texas-sized Beef, I was hoping this video could be longer but I will say that it was nicely done and covered all the major areas of the beef. Granted, it definitely seems like the beef was rather hyped by the media but it's anything but pink slime. Great work Secret Base as always!
Lol, loved the southern twang creepin' in there, with every Jones quote. Good stuff!
Biggest brand the cowboys never dissapoints
Here are a couple of points I wanna make about this Jerry Jones vs. Jimmy Johnson beef:
1: I believe if Jerry & Jimmy had put their Texas-size egos aside and actually worked together as one, the Dallas Cowboys would’ve won more than 3 Super Bowls in the ‘90s. Maybe even 4 or 5. The Cowboys had all the talent and a perfect core of Hall-of-Famers intact. 5 Super Bowl titles was not out of the question.
2: Some of the Cowboys players didn’t respect Barry Switzer as a head coach…including Troy Aikman. Troy loved that Jimmy Johnson coached him hard, but still treated him like a man, with love, appreciation and respect. Troy also complained that Switzer ran the Cowboys too softly, like a country club. And no, that’s not a complement.
We haven’t been to a nfc championship game since I was in third grade. Next month will be 18 years since i graduated high school

What a classic beef. Would love to see a future video covering the beef between Chael Sonnen and the country of Brazil!
If you did this one, I think you need to do Terry Bradshaw and Chuck Knoll.
Can't wait for this April Fools video, Secret Base Nation / Jon Bois and the funky bunch
Love your show keep up the good work
Who else is thinking of this during the cowboys ring of honor ceremony?
Growing up as a cowboys fan, witnessing the 3 championships of the 90’s I’ll always be grateful that I got to witness it. Jimmy and Jerry are like two brothers who refuse to allow the other to be “one up”. This feud will probably last until their final breath, but it’s entertaining to say the least lol
Who else is here after the Lions vs. Cowboys halftime where Jimmy was finally inducted into the Cowboys Ring of Honor?
Me
THIS!!! Is the beef I've been waiting for
Two powerful men who came together to create something great just want some credit.
Jimmy won those championships. Proof being that Jerry hasn’t won one without him in 3 decades of trying
I’m not counting the one with Barry Switzer who coached Jimmy’s team
Ruffle Jimmy’s hair he loves that and Jerry loves French handshakes 😂
No one hates Jerry Jones more than Cowboys fans
Facts
THIS is why we continue to be mediocre til this very day. Jerry STILL wants to show he can win HIS way we haven't had a coach with his own mind since Jimmy, not even Parcels.
Sounds like the classic “you can’t live with ‘em, you can’t live without ‘em” situation.
Imagine if one of them tried to let bygones be bygones on April Fools day just to say "sike, you thought" and have someone prank the other from behind with ice bucket
As a giants fan I thank the lord for Jerry Jones' ego
I will always remember Jerry for destroying what could have been.
Jimmy Johnson created the draft pick trade value spreadsheet that NFL teams still use in 2023.
If anyone questions who built the talent of that team, look right there for who ran the team drafts.
Jerry Jones ego was the main reason for them being in a 30 year title drought
This needs a miniseries.
Here after the ring of honor
Jimmy Made that team. He was the Coach for the East West College all star game. He knew all the good players from then and drafted them. He did the pre draft board right before he left. Cowboys owe him all three Superbowls.
Jimmy Johnson gets the credit and the only credit to Jerry Jones was bringing Jimmy Johnson in. Jimmy created a dynasty and Jerry destroyed it and has not even had the Cowboys play in a championship game since, which is almost 30 years now.
If it wasn't for Jerry Jones hiring Jimmy Johnson, the 49ers would easily have at least 7 Super Bowls right now. If it wasn't for Jerry Jones causing Jimmy Johnson to LEAVE, the Cowboys would easily have at least 7 Super Bowls right now
Based on how it’s gone since, I’m willing to say Johnson was more responsible for the success
This is gonna get a ton of views 💯
As an eagles fan I hope Jerry never dies.
Their initial arrangement answers the question. Jimmy was the sole caretaker of the football and Jerry took care of the business side. Since Jimmy was the sole decision maker of anything football, Jimmy was solely responsible for the roster and the success of the team. Jerry was solely responsible for paying the players that Jimmy chose, so he gets the credit for writing the checks. Trading Herschel Walker was so outside of the box, I can't believe Jones had anything to do with it. I totally believe Jimmy when he says Jones was against it.
never dissapoints
The beef that made Jerry Jones the most polarizing figure in probably all of NFL history. His lightning fast repair of the Cowboys guarantees him a comfy spot in NFL lore, but his numerous power trips that made the team go from dynasty to fluctuating levels of mediocrity leaves a sour taste in many people's mouths.
I'll never understand fighting over credit, especially when you're already at the top.
If Jerry had anything to do with the team building... he would have rebuilt the team by now.
Please do a rewind of Djokovic match point saving return at the US Open 2011 , i understand you are probably waiting for this year's US open to kick off for that. So since Roland Garros is near how about you do a rewind of Federer breaking Djokovic winning streak at Roland Garros in 2011.
Also about Soderling's legendary upsetting of Nadal in 2009.
Doesn't matter the field, upper management always wants credit they never deserve.
I truly believe that if Jimmy hadn't left, the 90s Cowboys would've won 5 Super Bowls in a row before fading.
Honestly yes, they almost beat the 9ers even with Switzer, and in 1996 they definitely go better than 10-6, and most likely beat favre who always struggled against them.
The Cowboys will not win another Super Bowl until Jerry is gone and they have a new owner and GM. there’s a reason for their mediocre playoff success and no SB’s the last 25+ years, and there’s only 1 dude that’s been a constant the whole time
I love these!!!! Please keep em coming
As an Eagles fan, I hope Jerry lives forever. I am ready to give him 10 years of my life 😂
This funny af 😂😂😂😂
Can you do Verstappen vs. Hamilton in Abu Dhabi 2021 Rewind? Long reach but I'd love to see it.
Nearly 30 years later and they still haven’t sniffed the Super Bowl
Tom Landry, Tex Schramm, and Gil Brandt made the Dallas Cowboys. Roger Staubach took them to "America's Team" status in the 1970's. The Cowboys were America's Team long before Jimmy and Jerry showed up. In fact when Jerry & Jimmy took over the team there were already 9 players on the roster that would start or heavily contribute on the 1992 Super Bowl Team. Including Michael Irvin, Ken Norton, Nate Newton, and Mark Tuinei. They already had Herschel Walker who they would use to add multiple top 100 picks. They already had the #1 pick in the 1989 draft and if Landry had stayed he was going to draft Troy Aikman anyway. In other words the Landry, Schramm, Brandt era set up Jimmy and Jerry pretty well to start their run.
Beef history can you do a video on Bryson Dechambeau and Brooks Koepka beef?
Great video!
