After Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo injured his hand on Sunday, owner and general manager Jerry Jones came down to the sideline and had a brief discussion with head coach Jason Garrett. "I was bringing him up to date on information that I personally had from what our situation was not only relatively to where the Jets was against New York but also I knew the case with Tony's X-rays," Jones said accoridng to Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News. The New York Giants defeated the New York Jets in an earlier game Saturday, meaning whether the Cowboys won or lost, the division would come down to the game between the Giants and Cowboys on New Year's Day in New Jersey. But why couldn't those scenarios been discussed before the game? Why did he have to come down personally and discuss it? "I don't want to be sarcastic, but we need a psychologist to tell me what made me feel these needs or not," Jones said. "I don't know what makes you feel anything, but I did want to go communicate real good and we communicated good." Source: The Redzone
This guy annoys me more and more every week. Every week I look forward to the latest "Jerry Jones Says..." thread. I understand he's the owner of the team, but he pays guys to do their jobs, then he goes and does their jobs for them. He is way too hands on. I don't understand why anyone would ever want to coach there.
They have trainers and PR people to do those jobs. No reason Jones and his jock sniffing nose should be on the sideline...no reason at all. Stay up in the booth and let the football people do their jobs. Take a lesson from Daniel Snyder...lol...
Take a lesson from every single other owner in the entire league. Jones is the only one who is constantly in the headlines.
It's part of the gig. Jones WILL be in the picture and will be doing what he wants to. Always has, always will. Any coach or trainer or player knows this.
I don't see a problem with it. As the Owner he has the right to do whatever the heck he wants. It's not like he was trying to coach the team or anything. If he wants to stand on the sideline then good for him.
