The President of Miami was a douche.

Jimmy was college teammates with Jerry

IDK, but Miami has the worst college football fanbase in America.

Men from (or that went to) Arkansas have had an outsized impact on football culture, and I respect the hell outta that.

He had a personal relationship with Jerry, it’s one level up, and money probably played a role.

I wasn’t alive, so are you saying this was the narrative at the time?

He won two Super Bowls at Dallas. Pretty successful.

The state of Florids is full of figs, and it was driving the cost of hair spray sky high.

Jimmy and Jerruh were teammates for the 64 Arky Natty team. Also always had the feeling the walls were starting to close in on Jimmy ala Ron Meyer.

Yep .... because Jerry Jones asked him to and paid him an insane amount of money at the time.

There's a 30 for 30 about it.
