A bunch of coaches won\u2019t even speak to Jerry because they\u2019re worried about Jimmy getting on their ass or firing their ass. Hey, I\u2019m telling you, that\u2019s how it was. [Jones] got tired of living in that world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Good to know that Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson are still holding a grudge against each other after all these seasons.
