  Speaker 1: Again to set the scene for you on this deal. Uh,
• 0:04
  Jerry Uh does a couple of things and it really
• 0:08
  aggravates some media people. I've noticed whenever he speaks after
• 0:12
  every Cowboy game win or lose, and he does he does,
• 0:17
  it aggravates some folks in the media.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Soide don't understand it. No, no owner does this, no
• 0:21
  other owner.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: No.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: But he's also the general manager, so he's also speaking
• 0:26
  from the GM spot. That never really bothered me that much.
• 0:28
  Jerry is Jerry. Jerry's gonna Jerry. He's just gonna be
• 0:32
  himself and do that.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: But this was what he had to say on Sunday. First,
• 0:40
  we give you this.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: When a reporter is asking him if he has gone
• 0:47
  through his mind hypothetically, because Jerry likes say hypothetically fundamentally,
• 0:52
  he likes to use those terms a lot.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: What was the term he used, A training camp? They
• 0:56
  said over and over on that is state of the team.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: That draws new Yeah, it wasn't a hypothetically. I'm sure
• 1:04
  I'll think about it. It'll it'll come to it come
• 1:08
  to us.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: But Uh, a.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Reporter who wasn't I don't think was trying to be
• 1:13
  a smart Alec was just asking him if he has
• 1:16
  gone through this process in his mind about consideration of
• 1:20
  making a change but the head coaching.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Jerry did not like the question. In hears his response to.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Evaluate making a head coaching change in season.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: I haven't considered that. I'm not considering that. So you're clear,
• 1:32
  I'm not considering that. I wouldn't be a hypothetical in
• 1:35
  that matter. Do you think I'm an idiot?
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Do you?
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm not gonna hypothetical with you about what I'd
• 1:42
  consider coaching change, and a lot of the timing we're
• 1:46
  sitting here with I'm not at all.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: So so there it is. That was Sunday. I'm not
• 1:54
  gonna hypothetical with you, is what he said. Then I'm
• 1:58
  not gonna hypothetical with you. So it was a little
• 2:01
  on edge for that. On Tuesdays, Tuesday mornings, he is
• 2:08
  on one O five three the Fan, and I'm sure
• 2:14
  he's well compensated for that appearance, and he was on
• 2:21
  with their morning hosts and this was how their conversation
• 2:26
  went with him and what he had to say about it,
• 2:29
  And you could tell he begins to get unhappy with
• 2:33
  his regular weekly hosts who have him on.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Jerry.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: You know there's been a lot of talk about execution.
• 2:42
  I think you mentioned it here already. If the execution
• 2:46
  has become a problem to the extent that you get
• 2:48
  losses like the ones against New Orleans and Detroit, why
• 2:51
  are those players still the right ones for your team?
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Well, first of all, where are you gonna go to
• 2:57
  get any players? Seriously, where you going to go to
• 3:00
  get any players for the next week in San Francisco? Now?
• 3:06
  Number one, I've seen these players. I've seen every one
• 3:09
  of them execute like you want the players to be
• 3:13
  executed and do their job within the role. That didn't
• 3:17
  happen the other day, and we've paid the consequences for us,
• 3:20
  But I've seen the players do it. I know we
• 3:23
  have outstanding personnel, very outstanding personnel. We just made our
• 3:28
  quarterback to high paid player in the NFL. We've just
• 3:30
  hopped the receiver list charts. So we made our bed
• 3:34
  relative to how we're going to approach with our key
• 3:37
  people with the team. We were shorthanded out there on defense,
• 3:46
  but everybody gets short handed. That's really not an excuse
• 3:49
  in the NFL. Your depth should step up there and
• 3:53
  you should be able if you can to compensate to
• 3:56
  some degree. You can't compensate for the gap, so to speak,
• 4:02
  that we had between the where our offense played and
• 4:05
  the way we were supposed to play. And I only
• 4:07
  give Detroit a lot of.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Credit for that.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: They came actress and got actress, and they put guys
• 4:12
  on top of every offensive lineman your head, and they came,
• 4:16
  came at it and put the kind of pressure that
• 4:20
  gave that a lot of problems and gave our running
• 4:23
  game lot of problems. We've got to be able.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: To lift, Jared.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: I think the counter back when you said, where are
• 4:27
  you going to get the players? You can't get them
• 4:29
  this week is and you're aware of all the off
• 4:31
  season topics.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but what is your counter? What is your damn counter?
• 4:36
  My counter isn't want to know where you would go
• 4:39
  or go get it now. Don't tell me about should
• 4:42
  gotten a guy in the off season? Why not? This
• 4:44
  isn't a bad word argument just because I'm not arguing
• 4:47
  with you. I'm dealing with how we line up against
• 4:50
  San Francisco, not what I did wrong last week or
• 4:54
  last month, or two months ago or two years ago.
• 4:58
  If I really gave you guys a list of all
• 5:01
  the things I've done wrong over the last few years,
• 5:05
  you couldn't be on this program for the next five years.
• 5:08
  Steady and go over it. But every now and then
• 5:11
  you do some right things and at the end of
• 5:13
  the day you add it up and the rights give
• 5:16
  you a better spot than the wrongs. But if you
• 5:19
  think for any minute right now, there'll be one super
• 5:22
  Bowl champion, what do the others do wrong? There's one
• 5:25
  super Bowl champion now we want to be that champion.
• 5:29
  And I'm sure not going to tally in today because
• 5:32
  of what happened out there Sunday. But I'm not going
• 5:35
  to sit here and waste a lot of energy, a
• 5:37
  lot of time. Let's talk about what I should have
• 5:40
  done back in nineteen seven seven or nineteen two thousand
• 5:43
  and seven days had been Come on, come on, I've
• 5:46
  got more time than that. And I actually don't even
• 5:49
  have time on this great show for looking back at decisions.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Okay, So Jerry nineteen seventy a little different from this
• 5:59
  past off season in building the team we're talking about today,
• 6:03
  which there was a lot of criticism that you guys
• 6:06
  didn't add, didn't spend and don't add and don't spend
• 6:10
  and are not aggressive enough with some of the problems
• 6:12
  that are still haunting the Cowboys today that we see
• 6:15
  playing on the field.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: That's the point of talking about the off season?
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: Oh oh, I remember those criticisms very well. Okay, so what.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Are they playing out to be accurate?
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: What's your point? What's your point? My point is it
• 6:31
  seems like, let me tell you what I'll do. Let
• 6:33
  me tell you what I'll do about it. I will
• 6:37
  let us sit down and look at the decisions we've
• 6:40
  made over the last several years. Okay, I'll look at
• 6:45
  it now. If you think I'm interested on a damn
• 6:49
  phone call with you over a radio and sitting here
• 6:54
  and throwing all the good at with the dishwater, you
• 6:58
  have got to be smoking something over there. I'm not,
• 7:02
  and I really don't, and I don't even want our
• 7:04
  listeners to listen to me to talk about this. Is
• 7:08
  not your job. Your job is to let me go
• 7:12
  over all the reasons that I did something and I'm
• 7:15
  sorry that I did it. That's not your job.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Well, my job is to ask.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: My job or I'll get another I'll get somebody else
• 7:24
  to ask these questions.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Man, Jerry, We're just we're trying to figure out why
• 7:29
  the team is I'm.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Not kidding it. I'm not kidding it. You're not going
• 7:33
  to figure out it's what the team is doing right
• 7:37
  or wrong. If you are are any five or ten
• 7:41
  like you, you need to come to this meeting I'm
• 7:43
  going to today. There are thirty two teams. Here are
• 7:46
  your geniuses.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Yep, all right, so there, yeah, well, you know he
• 7:56
  did not want to have them say. He said, that's
• 7:59
  not your job to tell me what I'm doing. Well,
• 8:03
  sports media, that's that's what sports media does, especially the
• 8:07
  talk show world, and for those guys who are Shan
• 8:11
  cherff R J Chappi and Bobby Bell, the three guys
• 8:15
  who do it on one oh FI three the fan
• 8:17
  in Dallas. But the actual quote that he had there
• 8:21
  when he said, now, if you think I'm interested on
• 8:26
  a damn phone call with you over the radio and
• 8:29
  sitting here and throwing all the good out with the dishwater,
• 8:33
  you have got to be smoking something over this morning.
• 8:35
  I'm not, and I really don't, and I don't even
• 8:38
  want our listeners listening to me talk about this is
• 8:41
  not your job. Your job isn't to let me go
• 8:43
  over the reasons that I did something and I'm sorry
• 8:46
  that I did it. That's not your job. That's not
• 8:48
  your job. Or I'll get somebody else to ask these questions.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: No, no, I'm not kidding. That's the part I'm talking about.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: He's never been that, well for one of a better
• 9:02
  term threatening, he's never been that at the absolute edge
• 9:07
  of don't tell me this, or I'll find somebody else
• 9:10
  to do the deal with. Other people have within his
• 9:15
  organization of the years have done that. The most celebrated
• 9:18
  one was the Barry Switzer thing with Dale Hanson t
• 9:21
  even when they got into the actually physically pop in
• 9:24
  one another at training camp and it got real uncomfortable,
• 9:29
  and live television. There's been other things like that, you know,
• 9:35
  but you don't hear it from Jerry's side. When Brad
• 9:41
  Sham said in a preseason game, and Brad of course
• 9:45
  was my boss for seven years and friends, and if
• 9:47
  he were on this run, he would he would echo
• 9:49
  exactly what I said when because I heard him say
• 9:51
  it live at the time, bulletin, what Jerry Jones and
• 9:57
  the Cowboys tell you isn't always the truth or always accurate.
• 10:02
  I think what he said and you didn't hear Jerry
• 10:06
  respond to that, but Brad had a.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Meeting with the owner as a result of that.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: So, uh, you know, we haven't heard Jerry publicly get
• 10:17
  real uncomfortable about Elsa. That was uncomfortable. He was, he
• 10:23
  was uncomfortable, and it was kind of a with the
• 10:27
  guys there because I think they realized the pushing envelope
• 10:33
  on the deal. So anyway, that's that's where it is,
• 10:37
  because things are not going well.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: The team is three and three and they're a game.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Behind Washington and they're not you know, they're not in
• 10:44
  a bad way or whatever that sort of thing yet,
• 10:47
  but folks are forecasting really bad stuff down the road,
• 10:52
  like you damn, you're you're you're you feel that you're
• 10:56
  that that this team is staring a six game losing
• 10:58
  streak right down the barrel and could be three and
• 11:01
  eight the next time we look up. So it's going
• 11:04
  to be interesting to follow him, starting with a road
• 11:07
  trip to Santa Clara, coming off the bye week, going
• 11:10
  to San Francisco. So we'll see all that goes, and
• 11:13
  we'll continue to talk about it all right up next
• 11:15
  Inconceivable here on this Tuesday afternoon here on Sports Radio
