Jimmy Johnson: Cowboys Won't Get Far With Bledsoe
Recap by CowboysGonnie from a sports forum:
On Sirius satellite, former Cowboys coach was on and was asked what he thought about the Cowboys chances with Bledsoe as the QB, Johnson went on to say "the Cowboys won't get far with Bledsoe.." Johnson also said that "Defenses foam at the mouth when they play QBs like Bledsoe"
They asked Jimmy if Romo is the answer and Jimmy said, "With the offensive line struggles in Dallas, you need a QB that is a little mobile, and Romo gives them that; however, starting Romo would be the equivalent of starting a rookie, but if Bledsoe continues to turn the ball over, a change will come sometime this season, give it 4 more weeks."
Is Jerry Jones grumbling behind the scenes? Johnson said "Without a doubt, you can rest assured that Jerry is not happy, and this could cause some tension all around, look, Jerry does not like to lose, period...Jerry went out and got T.O., he has not reaped the rewards from that acquisition yet..."
Do you want to coach again? "I must say, I've had that itch every now and then, it would have to be the ideal situation, very ideal"
Would you coach the Cowboys again? "I doubt it, but you never want to say no, coaching is very political these days, even more than when I was in Dallas, I doubt I would, but you can never close that door, I love football"
