I knew it was time to replace Tom Landry but the way he was fired was just disrespectful. Jerry Jones could have offered him a position that took him off the sidelines but kept him with the Cowboys team. If Landry was not happy with that position then he could have resigned all together. But Jerry Jones toss Landry out like he was week old trash. I have never forgiven the Cowboys management since then and at the time I had just moved to the Philly area so I jumped on the bandwagon of the hometown team and haven't left since.
