Jerry will go to his grave lamenting the fact Jimmy knew how to put together a team and coaching staff....and to this day, Jones still hasn't the foggiest idea what he's doing.
Does anyone really believe Jerry even knew who the hell Emmitt Smith was when Dallas drafted him in '90? Jimmy recruited him to Miami but Emmitt chose to stay a little closer to home and inked with the Gators. Same thing applies to dt, Tony Casillas....he wasn't producing with the Atlanta Falcons....Jimmy had tried recruiting him to Okla State (prior to going to Miami) and bam he became part of that great Dallas D-line (along side Russell Maryland....#1 pick out of Miami in '91.)
In fact, that '91 draft was chockful of big time contributors to Dallas' three Super Bowls....Alvin Harper, 1st round.....Leon Lett, 7th.....Larry Brown form TCU in the 12th (fyi....MVP in Dallas' last Super Bowl win.)
Think Jerry knew the potential talent of any of those players? Unlikely. Since Jimmy's firing, all Jerry knows is how to move up....move down....trade away picks as if their Monopoly money during the NFL Drafts....attempting to make people believe he knows something they don't know.
Bottom line is he's a con artist....a cheap carnival barker.....and this interview with ESPN proves he's also a spiteful, vindictive old man....bitter with the fact he'll never achieve the greatness he once celebrated while Jimmy was running things.
