In reply to Gary b.

I've never cared for Jones' "style". He's the NFL's version of George Steinbrenner. His single biggest flaw IMO is his inability to turn away from a microphone. You're twisting what I said ... I never said he didn't meddle ... I said he's no longer the meddler to the degree that the label has been stuck to him (nor does he mind it). And don't get me started on Jimmy Johnson, as if he didn't play a role in that whole affair ... his ego is no smaller than Jerry's! Fact is, neither one of them have accomplished anything since their split. Jimmy is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame because of Jerry's willingness to bring him into the NFL (he was not on anybody else's radar), and spend and give him everything he ever asked for. There probably wasn't a GM alive who would have traded Walker for the players those guys got. Jimmy orchestrated that trade, but Jerry had to believe in him. Once the salary cap was installed and Jimmy moved on, he was given arguably the game's greatest QB and he couldn't get back to the Super Bowl.

You've got me digressing, as my point remains that Garrett, even with all his serous flaws, still built a good team and provided a nice stock of youthful talent for this staff. I believe he's less the pushover to Jones as most ... the difference being that he took this job knowing full well how to allow Jerry to be perceived, and unlike the ego-centric Parcells, he was fine with it. Garrett NEVER made the team or the game about himself!
