Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson's beef is about who really made the Cowboys champions 

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.

Jerry's had 28 years to prove it was him. How's that gone?😅

The low point was Jerry coaching the team himself via Dave Campo. You absolutely KNOW he was.

The Jerry Jones drunk at the League Meetings story is something I wish Twitter had been around for 😄

More NFL owner beefs. We need one on Al Davis VS Marcus Allen. That's a beef that inspired an urban legend about a black magic curse.

They need to make this beef into an HBO series starring Danny McBride as Jimmy and Walton Goggins as Jerry.

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

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.

As a Cowboys fan I blame Jerry Jones for our team’s championship drought 😡😡😡

Billionaires can’t handle it when their ego takes a hit. Just ask Daniel Snyder.

At last, the Beef History video we've all been waiting for is here, and it doesn't disappoint.

Imagine dooming your team to 30 years of irrelevancy over a beef.

Jerry's ego is still the cowboys Achilles

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.

If Jones made the cowboys, why can't he make them again?

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.

Yes. The beef we’d all been waiting for.

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.

Jimmy Johnson was such a great coach at Miami University.

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.

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.

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.

I can't be the only one, when I say. These beef episodes are just not long enough.

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

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.

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. ❤️

Grumpy Old Men Football Edition 🏈

Once he puts Jimmy in the Ring of Honor... us Cowboys fans can rejoice again!!!

As a Panthers fan living in Dallas now I see why Cowboys fans hate Jerry 😂

Dallas hasn’t been the same since Jimmy

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.

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

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!

This story would make such a good movie

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

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!

Here after the ring of honor

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.

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.

Michael Jordan & Isaiah Thomas has to be around the corner correct? 🔥🔥🔥🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

We need a Sherman-Revis Beef History🤝

I really liked how the video ended. It is the perfect encapsulation of both men.

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.

Who else is thinking of this during the cowboys ring of honor ceremony?

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

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.

Thank you! Long awaited!

A beef history video that's long overdue

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

Please keep the beef videos coming. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. There is so much beef in the sports realm we could make a hamburger stand.

No one hates Jerry Jones more than Cowboys fans

Love your show keep up the good work

Ruffle Jimmy’s hair he loves that and Jerry loves French handshakes 😂

Jerry Jones ego was the main reason for them being in a 30 year title drought

Definitely have been waiting for this beef, enough 90s cowboys videos on secret base to make a movie about it.

Lol, loved the southern twang creepin' in there, with every Jones quote. Good stuff!

I truly believe that if Jimmy hadn't left, the 90s Cowboys would've won 5 Super Bowls in a row before fading.

I love these!!!! Please keep em coming

Biggest brand the cowboys never dissapoints

Based on how it’s gone since, I’m willing to say Johnson was more responsible for the success

THIS!!! Is the beef I've been waiting for

Sounds like the classic “you can’t live with ‘em, you can’t live without ‘em” situation.

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.

What a classic beef. Would love to see a future video covering the beef between Chael Sonnen and the country of Brazil!

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!

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

Great video!

Jimmy won those championships. Proof being that Jerry hasn’t won one without him in 3 decades of trying

This needs a miniseries.

Nearly 30 years later and they still haven’t sniffed the Super Bowl

Two powerful men who came together to create something great just want some credit.

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.

If Jerry had anything to do with the team building... he would have rebuilt the team by now.

Excellent video.

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.

This is gonna get a ton of views 💯

I'm a simple man, I see beef I click

can y'all do a collapse vid on the LA/Anaheim Angels of the mid 2000s. won a chip in 02 and made a couple of deep postseason runs during the decade. were very underrated for the time.

Who else is here after the Lions vs. Cowboys halftime where Jimmy was finally inducted into the Cowboys Ring of Honor?

never dissapoints

I will always remember Jerry for destroying what could have been.

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

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 should be another fire episode ! Lmao

That was amazing! So we’ll done. And I’m not even a Cowboys fan! 💙❤️🙏🏽‼️

I can't wait for the big screen movie!

About damn time

As an eagles fan I hope Jerry never dies.

That last line of I hate you and I hate you too sounded like something from South Park lol

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.

Cowboys won exactly 1 more title, the next year with that team. 30 years later? 0 more.

As an Eagles fan, I hope Jerry lives forever. I am ready to give him 10 years of my life 😂

Doesn't matter the field, upper management always wants credit they never deserve.

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.

this was a good one
