- The Dallas Cowboys won three Super Bowls in four years. It was a success that defined Jerry Jones, Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith, and many others. But it also spelled and magnified their collapse.
If you want to know more about the beef between Troy Aikman and Barry Switzer which added to these turbulent times, check out our episode of Beef History here: • Troy Aikman and Barry ...

surprised how little love Jimmy Johnson got in this vid. He was the real architect of that roster. Jones fired him out of spite, and thats when the decline really started.
He got hosed, I don't care what he says, HE WAS FIRED!
Matthew Daley you stole my comment...I'm like why did he skip over the most important part?!??
@@frankdux3605 The middle of this video could have been 8 minutes on Jimmie Johnson's importance to the famous dynasty. I get it was about Jerry Jones but idk why they glossed over the guy who was really the one to bring them to the championships
Instead he said Jimmy created part of the problem. This fugazi cowboy fan is too busy with his head buried in Jerry jones' lap.
They focus on the team last at its greatest ie their final Super Bowl team.
WTF, Irvin slashed a dude in the neck nearly killing him and got off with no punishment. I never even heard about that
BOHOHOSS it seems like many who didn’t live in Texas at the time never even heard about it.
He went to jail in the Longest Yard. So technically he did his time
damn
when you're a star, they let you do anything.
"Jerry Jones immediately brokered a six-figure settlement between Irvin and McIver in exchange for McIver's silence and to prevent McIver from pursuing criminal charges against Irvin."
Michael Irvin is one of those dudes that looks 40 when he is 18, and will still look 40 when he is 70.
And today, Irvin is in trouble again. !! SMDH
@normankarraker4818 smdh. It was a lie though. So quick to judge Esau
🤲🏿❤️🔥
@@normankarraker4818Irvin got set up
My dad lived in Dallas during that era of the Cowboys. He immediately said that firing Jimmy Johnson was one of the biggest mistakes in franchise history.
It wasn't a "mistake". A mistake is when you try and shoot the ball in the basket and miss. What Jerry did was a calculated ego trip. He CHOSE to butcher the franchise in a desperate attempt inflate his fragile ego. He made that choice. I don't know how people support a team when it's clear winning is not more important than something so irrational and illogical as Jerry's pathetically fragile ego
Didn't take a rocket scientist to see that. I remember feeling sick to my stomach when I heard the new. But honestly the worst thing that ever happened to the team IMO was when Bum Bright bought out Clint Murchison.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916🤲🏿❤️🔥
Wouldn't have made a difference against the '94 49ers. Jimmy probably would have done better handling the salary cap, though.
Would've won in 1996 if Jimmy was there
Michael Irvin slashing someone in the neck, then later sustaining a career ending injury in the neck. Funny how life comes around
First it was a spine injury lmao dumbass watch the video and still got it wrong 😂 I guess retaining information isn’t your strong suit
Nonetheless, karma got his ass in the end.
@@anonymousnobody1001, the spine runs up into the neck, 🤦🏻♂️. Do some research.
Nothing is "funny" about a career ending injury.
@@anonymousnobody1001 He sustained a cervical spinal cord injury which is the part of your spine in your neck
Jimmy Johnson built that dynasty. Jerry Jones' ego fired Johnson and the team started going downhill. They haven't even sniffed a Super Bowl since Jimmy Johnson's team started to decline
Oh they've had 3 teams good enough to contend, just didn't work out that way.
This dynasty is *Casino* on the football field

Anonymous User jerry didn’t fire jimmy he didn’t even know that jimmy wanted out
@@danielntumba5980 Jerry Jones 100% definitely fired Jimmy Johnson.
@@timbaker9103 No. Jimmy was sniffing for the Miami Dolphins job during his final season with Dallas. When Jerry became aware he felt like the spurned lover. That is what caused the drunk the 500 coaches comment. Make no mistake, while Jimmy played the victim, he was already leaving.
According to Aikman, Irvin and other showed up to camp hungover. Switzer asked Aiman what to do. Aikman suggested having them run sprints until they threw up. Switzer decided to finish camp early that day.
Wow a coach with no backbone
@@Loganbub Barry Switzer was in a no win situation think about it he was taking over a team that had won their 2nd straight Super Bowl the prior season. So what could he tell those players in the locker room?? Nothing.
@@allendaniel7405 He really was in a no win situation because if he wins, it's with Jimmy's team. If he loses, then he should've won with all that talent. He was basically s sacrificial lamb who could get a free Super Bowl ring to go with all his college rings. He should've never gor a high profile NFL team when he never coached an NFL game before.
Aim man low key a snitch

Funny how the news article says that Michael Irvin accidentally cut Everett McIver's neck with scissors during a playful tussle.
Yeah, just a playful tussle with knives and neck slashing. Definitely nothing wrong with that.
scissor
All over a haircut
Don't tussle with scissors
🤲🏿❤️🔥
The Cowboys dynasty was brought to you by Jimmy Johnson fleecing the Vikings out of a million picks for Herschel Walker.
The Vikings can just never catch a break.
To be fair, if the Vikings had used Walker properly, then the trade would have worked out for both parties.
We got 3 rings and a hockey team from Minnesota. Never been, but I love that state.
Partially true
@@bucketsbussman8716 Not only a hockey team but one that had pieces that led to the franchise's first Stanley Cup victory.
One of the best things every football season is seeing the look on Jerry Jones face as the cowboys are eliminated
IN HIS FUR COAT. I SAY GODDAMN
AMEN !
People still think the cowboys are relevant witch they haven’t been since the 90s. 22 years without a super bowl appearance or NFC title game appearance as well.
rob mush they are relevant they would’ve made it to the sb if the refs opened their eyes against Green Bay
dylannzgames lol they are as close to winning a super bowl as notre dame is to winning a national title. The cowboys and Notre Dame are the exact same. Used to be good, haven’t been good in 25 years, overrated by a huge fan base every year, never even close to a championship
Met Michael Irvin at a gym near my house when I was 14 about 4 years ago. He seems super down to earth and chill nowadays. That man’s son is exactly as reckless as the young him tho lmao.
This narration makes me respect Patriots dynasty even more. A dynasty can never sustain if it is based on star players alone. It needs great quarterback, a good coach and non interfering owner. New England checks all three boxes.
To put together a dynasty like that you need one of the greatest to ever play the position. Tom Brady is the goat. The Bill Russell/MJ of Football.
Look at the Patriots now. Still reasonably good, but not as dominant as they were.
Foh cheating bloodclot franchise
Plus, a hard salary cap to deal with. The Cowboys didn't need to deal that during their dynasty's formation years. The Pats dynasty will never be topped. It was perfect, despite the cheating allegations
@@whitehallavenue1752 I was gonna say the same thing. like how many cheating scandals does it take?
New England Won For Twenty Years Straight. Because A Man
Called Brady. The Proof Is Before Tom Brady And After Tom Brady. Patriots Fans Are Getting A Taste Of Reality. Patriots Are A Avg. To Bad Football Team. Before And After Tom Brady. "As The Truth To Be Told "
Cowboys probably would've won 4 or even 5 Super Bowls if Jerry Jones didn't get in the way.
Matthew Daley so far he has fired 3 hall of fame coaches,the best college coach and hired the clapper
@@chillvibes375 Well i never heard that. Free agency had alot to do with their downfall. I would like to know where/when/ how u heard Jimmy say that.
@@timothyhawkins5756, which Hof coaches did he fire? Tom Landry was already passed his time, Jimmy left on his own because he wanted to be in Florida, Parcels retired. Who else did he fire that was Hof?
MaddDogg316 first of no he wasn’t and second he fired Johnson cause he thought anyone could do the job and third off didn’t know parcells retired
@@timothyhawkins5756, 🤦🏻♂️Tom Landry was at the back end of his career. He didn't have it in him anymore. He wasnt building teams well and had a losing record in 88.
Jimmy Johnson left on his own. Jerry didn't even know. Jimmy blindsided Jerry with his departure because Jerry was being a clown and Jimmy was tired of him. Even Jerry says he didn't fire him. Jimmy wanted out plain and simple.
The Cowboys would’ve won at least 4 Super Bowls in the 90s had Jimmy Johnson not been fired but Jerry Jones’ ego wouldn’t let that happen...
People in Dallas STILL won't admit that, even to themselves.
It's easy to say that, but as the video detailed, this team was going to come off the rails because of all the injuries, off field issues, egos, and free agency. I think 4 super bowls at most if Jimmy doesn't leave.
Jimmy wasn't fired, 🤦🏻♂️. He quit cause Jerry Jones was an ass and a micromanager. Jerry also undermined Jimmy's rules.
Even after watching this, I STILL don't quite understand why.
I don't know about that statement. I remember reading a book where players were saying that they were getting tired of Jimmy's style of coaching.
Jimmy Johnson is still not in the cowboys ring of honor decades later!!
Now in the NFL Hall of Fame but not boys ring of honor
@Harry Engel Unless Jerry dies before then.
Who needs the Ring of Honor? Coach is a Pro Football Hall of Famer now!
🏈🏆🏆
Yeah Jerry on straight up BS treating Jimmy like that. He should've been welcomed into the HOF a long time ago as well
Hes got his rings, his respect, and his spot in canton, i think hes okay
Jerry Jones admitted publicly-at the time-that the 1994 draft was all about back ups, not about improving talent. The Cowboys draft room was a shambles from 1994, after Jimmy, until 2011 when they promoted Will McClay to the head of player personnel.
"Self-employed models", nice. I'm going to remember that.
Lmao right
We in the Dan Snyder Memorial Club take great offense to your statement!
Yeah, that and a scissor attack being "playful". The scene doesn't sure sound playful. I love Irvin and all, but he tended to get out of hand (still, more positives than negatives).
I hope Irvin paid that "model" well for her saving his ass from prison.
in reality, they were Cowboy groupies and used the same motel with multiple players. better them than the cheerleaders i guess.
Damn this series was just building towards this one episode, wasn’t it
Blame me 😂 I think I suggested this on one of the first few collapsed episodes
@@showtimesportsmedia6906 I'm stunned it wasn't the first.
Matthew Daley I suggested it on the 3rd one they did on the Giants
Should have been first
I can think of one particular NBA feud that this serious has just been lurching towards...
If Jimmy Johnson hadn't been fired, the Cowboys could have won 5 Super Bowls in a row or at least 5 in 7 years.
Nope. The salary cap was introduced in 1994 specifically so NFC (and especially Cowboys) could no longer buy Super Bowls. That’s why following 1995 season Cowboys have 0 Super Bowls, 0 NFC Championships. 2 1st round Playoff wins total in 23 seasons.
@@renshawjoshua I disagree. From what I heard, Jimmy sounds like he could have gotten it done
OMNISAIYANGOD9000 OMNISAIYANGOD9000 “what you’ve heard” is called conjecture. It’s not based on any kind of fact; unlike what I have given you.
You can draw a clear delineation from an event that occurred (the salary cap enforcement) and can clearly see the way that it impacted the roster and personnel moving forward.
It’s not open for debate whether the Cowboys were spending more than other teams. It’s a fact. Their win vs the Bills being the most egregious example where their roster salary outspent the Bills by a factor of 4 to 1.
It’s also not debatable if that talent left and took more lucrative signing deals with other teams as soon as the Cowboys were no longer able to pay them. You can watch the video for examples of this happening in the following years of the salary cap.
It’s also not debatable if the NFL fined and removed draft picks form the Cowboys, Broncos, and Raiders for cheating the new salary cap rules. That is recorded history. When there is no violation of the rules; you also see a significant change in record and playoff appearances that directly correlates with these events.
@@renshawjoshua Some of that still happens becuase no Jimmy right? This is all before my time so I don't know much. Cowboys + Jimmy = two super bowls. I would think even if the salary cap was introduced, Johnson would have been THAT good of a coach to keep winning big games
OMNISAIYANGOD9000 OMNISAIYANGOD9000 You also don’t have to wonder if Jimmy Johnson “would have been THAT good of a coach” because you also have examples you can reference.
The Cowboys was not Jimmy Johnson’s final job coaching in the NFL.
He went on to coach the Dolphins as well and took that team from 8-8 to 9-7 to 10-6 and a couple post season appearances and even a couple wins.
Yes coaching is important and can make a difference; but it doesn’t turn an average to below-average team into a dynasty like has been suggested.
Maybe with Jimmy the Cowboys decline is slightly less precipitated; but still a noticeable decline nonetheless that ends with little success.
Which is what I am pointing out. As soon as the Cowboys could no longer straight-up buy all of the most talented free agents on defense and continue to pay all of them along with paying 7 to 8 Hall of Fame offensive players simultaneously; the Cowboys never won again. Not just a blip or bad season; we are talking about falling off a cliff and being a mostly irrelevant team for 25 years. Occasionally making a playoff but never really being a legit contender.
Compare that to organizations in the modern day like Pittsburgh or the Patriots. Both have been in decline the last few seasons due to an aging roster and losing skill players. But neither one has fallen off a cliff and became completely irrelevant like the Cowboys did when they were no longer allowed to purchase Super Bowl rings. They went from Super Bowl winners to Conference Championship teams and then making the playoffs but maybe not getting far... it is a gradual drop. A quality front office doesn’t go from 13-3 to 4-12 in the span of two years. The Cowboys front office does.
Would love to see a video on how in the world the Chicago Bears team that produced the most dominant season in modern history (1985) managed to win only one championship.
just like the 2000 ravens, the bears where a one year hit🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
@@myaangeline 2012 ravens were a surprise too
patriots 07 season where they lost by one miracle catch was pretty dominate
@@dft1 Right. But whereas the Bears won their Super Bowl by 36 points, the Pats lost theirs.
It’s been argued by some that teams that don’t have a particularly good quarterback (Jim McMahon was ok, but nothing amazing individually) have a more limited window.
Chicago was still very good through 88 arguably, before declining. If they had a better quarterback for that entire time, they might have been a dynasty.
Poor Will. Making him narrate his own team's collapse is kinda mean...
Yup, probably easier for him to do it than others who would roast more
@@matthewdaley746 for sure, Will is the man. I miss uffsides though.
Hey thanks y'all. This team gave me a pretty good childhood, the toughest part of this episode was making sure I didn't screw something up about my favorite team - WB
He got away with calling the Cowboys "America's Team" twice, that's got to be worth something.
@@SecretBaseSBN I feel that. I've already had to watch the Pistons and Red Wings episodes (the Tigers probably deserve an episode but their collapse might not be over), but I can take solace in the fact that the Lions don't meet the criteria to be featured in this series.
Now I want a beef history on Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones.
To make a long story short: Jerry Jones has always envied jimmy because jimmy is everything that Jerry wanted to be. He wanted the type of attention and respect that jimmy always got
I supported the Cowboys all my life. Some of my earliest memories are watching the Cowboys with my father from the mid 60s on. When Jerry's ego came between what was best for the team and having to acknowledge that Jimmy Johnson was the reason for their successful comeback and dynasty in the 90s, that was it for me. The way he treated Tom Landry, and the fact that Jimmy Johnson hasn't been enshrined in the Ring of Honor at Cowboys Stadium, I won't root for them till Jerry is gone.
Same Here
Same conclusion that I came to today after that pitiful game. I have waited too long for a win.
Those early 90s Cowboys were so deep and talented it was insane.
I can definitely binge watch 2 seasons of this in one day. Not "Collapse," just this episode 20 times straight.
Hahahahaha
JERRY JONES SHOULD HAVE NEVER AND I SAY NEVER LET GO OF JIMMY JOHNSON WE STILL PAYING FOR THAT TODAY.
Chappell Hannon but he has Jason Garrett lol 😂 the guy who would take them to the 🏟😲
For lots of Cowboys fans, Jerry Jones should never have hired Jimmy Johnson. He should have kept Tom Landry.
broadstreet21 I don’t think so. For most of the 80’s. The team wasn’t that good and it was becoming clear in the middle to late stages of the decade, that Tom Landry’s coaching style became outdated and he was getting up in age. It was clear that a change was needed.
@@tannerwilson4843 True, well therein lies the debate. Do you want loyalty or Superbowls? Said Cowboys fans says they want Superbowls - only with Landry as coach. They're repulsed by Jones' destroying the family and turning it into a deplorable business club (sorry Trump voters).
broadstreet21 Jerry is 77 now and it makes you wonder how long Jerry Jones will remain as Owner and GM and when he plans to start at least taking more of a backseat in the Organization. Would hate to see him stay as owner till his dying day similar to the likes of Al Davis and Ralph Wilson. Oakland was especially bad during Al Davis’ final few years before his death and Jerry needs to learn from this to find the right time to retire.
As an Eagles fan...I loved every minute of this video
Even 3 Super Bowls in 4 years but the eagles would know nothing of that kind of greatness.
Especially the part about winning THREE SUPER BOWLS in four years?
@@paulraborn6560 But at least they know about getting to the Super Bowl in the last Twenty-Five years. Oh sorry...twice in the last twenty-five. I agree the Eagles didn't have sweeping success but literally all Cowboy fans say is three Super Bowls. If you have to go back over a quarter century to talk about success you are not successful. The league has changed a lot and Jerry Jones has not. And the Cowboys are not the elite team they are marketed as. If Jerry Jones won't change and push his ego out of the way I do not see any rings in Dallas' near future.
@Jon Brahms I don't have a VCR so I can't watch any of the Dallas super bowl titles.
@@AT-il2ej Oh yes you can. Ever heard of something called CZcams? You're on CZcams dummy. And soon, yes very very soon, you'll be able to watch the Sheagles lose Super Bowl LVII over and over again. Lol.
Imagine looking at Jimmy Johnson, one of the greatest coaches ever, and saying 'oh yeah, anyone can do that'. Jerry, you make me laugh
As a Cowboys fan I always knew this video was coming, so here we go.
Best HC/owner partnership: Kraft & Belicheck.
Worst HC/owner partnership: Jones & whoever he picks as HC.
Sounds about right.
at least jones got some super bowls, many other teas don’t even have one
a person that was then, this is now
Anyone and Dan Snyder. Jones at least won
Jesse Dell Ross except for jimmy and Parcells
As bad as being a Texans fan is right now, there's one thing we can hold over Dallas: when our GM was running the team into the ground, we fired him and got a new one ;)
Something you completely left out of your video that was a huge deal leading to the Cowboys collapse: The NFL salary cap beginning in 1994.
Cowboys fans don’t want to accept it; but the majority of the reason they won in the late 1980s and early 1990s was because they bought those Super Bowls. The joke back then was that the NFC championships between Dallas and San Francisco was the “real super bowl” simply because they spent so much money on their teams in comparison to any potential AFC competitors.
The “Dallas Wall” had 3 Hall of Fame Players and 1 additional Pro Bowler. How did they make that happen? There were 6 offensive linemen making over $1 million / year prior to the salary cap. 1 played for San Francisco. 1 played for Washington. The other 4 all played for the Cowboys.
When Dallas played Buffalo in the Super Bowls; both times Dallas outspent Buffalo in team salary 4:1.
It wasn’t just the Cowboys but the NFC in general that drastically outspent the AFC. Prior to the salary cap; the NFC had won the Super Bowl 9 consecutive times by over more than double-digits average.
You can see the effects of the salary cap on Dallas immediately once Jerry Jones could no longer just buy all the best players in free agency and afford to keep all of the draft pick signings from the Hershel Walker deal so that they didn’t leave (which is why their first two Super Bowl wins they were the youngest team on average in the NFL both years).
The only reason they got one more win in 1995 was they took enormous cap hits while also back-loading player contracts to make it work. They were also fined by the NFL for basically cheating the system.
It’s the reason Aikman had a 7 year - $70 million extension that they never intended on paying him and subsequently they had to pay him the guaranteed money later; so he would play for less at the time and get them under the salary cap.
That is the main reason for all the players leaving in FA; when the Cowboys could no longer pay everybody and they could get more money from other teams.
It’s also the reason that since 1995 Dallas has 0 Super Bowl wins, 0 Super Bowl appearances, 0 NFC championship appearances, and only 2 playoff wins total in the last 24 years.
When they can’t outspend other teams and it’s fair? Jerry Jones can’t compete with other front offices in terms of quality. It’s born out in the numbers.
you said dallas spend 4 to 1 over bufflo, hahaha, not even close.
The Cowboys and Knicks are the definition of why money can't buy happiness!
Seeing Jerry Jones, and, Spike Lee, lose makes me VERY happy.
Hey they won something unlike the Knicks
Cowboys have been super bowl contenders multiple times in the last ten years the knicks are just trash
As a Cowboys and Knicks fan, it's a miracle I haven't turned to alcohol as a means of coping.
jydaflyest as a patriots and lakers fan myself. How do think I feel? I have to deal with the massive haters everywhere!!!!
As a Cowboys fan, I’ve been waiting for this.
I'm really impressed with this channel- great presentation and research.
Wow what a great video it gave me goosebumps!! With the background music/sound it really seems like a tragedy. I was 10 years old when they won SB 27 it was such a sight to see that team be dominant in the next couple of seasons. Can’t believe it’s been that long since then. Now it’s just disappointment after disappointment. JJ has been the problem or his ego. Such is his desire to hear what a genius he is that he can’t see what he’s done to the team. Other than being the most valuable franchise, he doesn’t have anything else to show in 26 years. Great video! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
As a Vikings fan I hate seeing that damn Herschel Walker trade lol.

abizit gill I feel that. I watched it and cried 😭
Kofie you okay my guy you need help
Whoever was with Michael Irving in that Motel room
Can you do a collapse of the San Antonio Spurs dynasty (basketball)?
I will give Jerry credit for all 3 of those Super Bowl wins in the 90s. He came into the Cowboys and they had guys like Schramm and Landry running the team who were great in their time but they no longer had the pulse of what it took to be great anymore. Jerry shook things up and did what was best for the team at the time. But the Cowboys for the last decade have for the most part been a team just missing out of the playoffs. The Cowboys needs this generations version of what Jerry was in 1989 to come in and shake things up and get them out of their rut.
That would probably only happen once Jones stops being a GM.
Thanks for reopening those wounds 😩I’ve been waiting since I was 10 years old to see another Lombardy Trophy raised.

@sbnation alright you guys make great content and you come up with great substance to your stories. As a long suffering miami fan. I'm ready. Please make a story on dan Marino never earning his superbowl
Growing up a Vikings fan, I am sad that you didn't take just a second to talk about how Jerry spurned Moss and then watched as Moss lit up his team on Thanksgiving.
@Harry Engel lombardis forgive all in the nfl world.
Moss never lost to Dallas his entire career! Greg Ellis was good, great even.. but Moss on Dallas in 98 cost Dallas a SB that season. Emmitt goes for 2,000+ Aikman has an all time season, 98 was the last time the quadruplets were healthy (Troy, Irvin, Smith, Moose) its my biggest what if for Dallas. Botox&whiskey could've changed/saved his legacy
@Harry Engel Because while he is a cluster as a GM he is brilliant at marketing and has made billions for the league
Moss would have probably done it, yes.
Jerry Jones is the cause of the dynasty being dead!
Collapse ideas:
San Francisco 49ers after 2013 (It'll hurt for me, but at least the worst is behind us, hopefully)
Cleveland Browns after the 80's
Buffalo Bills after 1993
Oakland Raiders after 2002
Great synopsis of the rise of Jerry Jones and the subsequent and meticulous fall of the Dallas Cowboys franchise and organization, even today. Glimpses of the glory days w/o the consistency winning win it matters most. No NFC Title games no SBs. Jerry Jones has proven he doesn’t no anymore NOW than he did THEN. Oh others will say otherwise bc of their loyalty to Jones and the STAR, yet no significant Championships in over 20+ yrs.

As someone born in Dallas in 1996, I’ve never seen a truly dominant Cowboys. I am wholly convinced that Jerry 90% of the problem. It’s been over 20 years Jerry. You really think you’re the reason for those championships in the 90s?
It was because of jerry both the championships and the collapse
@@aroobism Only 90%? You are being to kind
Jerry was the reason for the championships in the 1990s because he outspent everybody. Here is the timeline for the NFL salary cap:
1992-93: Cowboys win Super Bowl
1993-94: Cowboys win Super Bowl
1994: NFL introduces salary cap
1995-96: Cowboys win Super Bowl
1996: NFL levels gigantic fine on Jerry Jones for cheating salary cap during 1995-96 season by backloading contracts
1996-2019: 0 Super Bowls. 0 NFC championships. 2 1st round playoff wins total.
Wait what about those 13-3 teams in '07 and '16? Do they not count?
OMNISAIYANGOD9000 OMNISAIYANGOD9000 Answer: No.
In the NFL there is gigantic variance from week to week. Pitting good teams vs good teams they each have a reasonable chance of winning week in and week out. There is a reason that 10-6 teams have went on to win Super Bowls and 15-1 teams lose their first playoff game.
There really isn’t much difference between a 13-3 team and 14-2 or 11-5 except the ball bounced one way or the other in a couple of those games.
That isn’t a good barometer for “domination”. Rather you should be looking at strength of schedule and margin of victory.
The 13-3 Cowboys teams you are talking about weren’t out there blowing people out and dominating the game and just barely lost 3 coin-flip games against good teams. There is a reason neither of these teams are mentioned within the same breath of other “dominant” all-time great teams. Many of those teams also not necessarily winning Super Bowl; but certainly not being humiliated each and every season when it’s playoff time like the Cowboys always are.
Well, I've been hooked on these shows for like 2 hours now.
Haha, same here
Very well put
Do Manchester United’s collapse post Alex Ferguson
they're still in that
If we're gonna do a Man U video I'd do their fall from European champions to relegated in six years.
Adam Burton Prepare the drinks for me, man. 😫 🤦♂️
I knew it was gonna happen eventually. SB Nation, thank you for making my week 🤧😢.
Great vid!!!
Jimmy Johnson was the backbone he knew what players he needed BUT Jerry's EGO got in the way and TOOK ALL THE CREDET!! WhenJimmy left SO DID THE DYNASTY!!!
‘90s Reds after WS title, ‘94 Expos after MLB strike.
Great video last time the Cowboys won a Super Bowl I was 12 years old and I’m 38 I told my son the great team the Cowboys Had in the 90s 26 years later I hope the next two years Cowboys win a Super Bowl. How about them Cowboys
It's really difficult to follow up one successful period with another. The Dallas Cowboys aren't the only ones. Look at the San Francisco 49ers. They haven't won it all since 1994 which was their fifth in a 14-year span between 1981 and 1994 despite making SBs 47 and 54.
👍👍👍 nice documentary
Next Collapse, NASCAR as a company
Probably after Dale Earnhardt’s death
@@DestinyZX1 Nah, it was still rising after 2001. I'd say the decline began in 2007, right after its peak in 2006.
@Harry Engel They added a playoff mode called "the Chase" where the last 10 race are fought between the top 10 drivers in point.
@@derekwillette447 They added that in 2004 & it was still rising in popularity. It wasn't entirely that until they kept changing it in the mid 2010's
@Harry Engel I liked the Chase format. It made the last 10 to 12 race is more exciting because it wasn't already obvious who was pulling away in the standings.
But it's so rewarded the most consistently good driver.
Now the format is that there is a round by round playoff elimination so in theory a driver could win every single race the entire year and if they don't finish ahead of the remaining drivers in the very last race of the season they wouldnt win the cup.
Which is stupid because the whole point is to reward the most consistent team and Driver throughout the whole year in my opinion.
The other thing for me is that drivers have changed their number and sponsor so much more often. And for me that negatively impacts it. it's like the equivalent of a sports team changing their uniform and Logo every couple of seasons. Lame
Knicks from a powerhouse in the 1990s to this hot mess today
Their lousy luck to play against the Bulls, but, I hated how Spike Lee inserted himself, so, it was karmic.
Matthew Daley luck? The 90’s was all about the bulls! The knicks were just so unfortunate to be in that situation against them!
Just came back after they actually did a Knicks collapse episode!
Zhuoran Li same
I’m still mad at jerry over the Roy Williams trade and the fact he refused to address the terrible o-line during Romo’s early years, instead welcoming the excitement of Romo running for his life and creating “Romo Magic.”
Harry Engel he was a great player who was let down by front office management
What about the departure of Ken Norton, Jr? Sure, they won the Super Bowl again two years after he left, but he was a key player on their defense which left a sizable gap that surely was a contributing factor in the team's fall from grace.
The list of players Dallas lost through free agency during that era could build an entire roster for another team with a couple of notable exceptions (QB and RB come to mind). Norton and Maryland both hurt but so did loosing Alvin Harper, Larry Brown and even Kelvin Martin. The acquisition of Deion Sanders was used to try to patch three different holes (Harper, Martin and an injured Kevin Smith) but even as good as Deion was he couldn't be a MLB and a DT on top of being return man a CB and a WR.

How bout an episode on the NY Islanders winning 4 straight Stanley Cups and then never being heard from again...?
They got old, in a hurry.
Yes!
Are they still in the nhl?
@@one7deep7savage7 yes they are and one superstar away from being serious contenders again. The have good solid playoff team right now that got to the second round last year by sweeping Crosby and the Penguins
Father time. Something to remember, the Isles had already been a powerhouse over half a decade by the time they got to cup 1
Jerry Jones is the reason that I as a lifelong diehard Cowboys fan, who grew up in a family of Cowboys fans, and even has the star tattooed on my body, am no longer a Cowboys fan. The way that he has been so try hard that he has been willing to look past domestic violence incidents of players and bring on people like Greg Hardy was the straw that broke the camels back for me after a long long list of things I had been willing to look past due to the sunk cost fallacy. My life has been much better without the weight of being a Cowboys fan while Jones is owner but it still breaks my heart anytime I think about what could've been. Can not wait for someone else to take over and do better with the team.
My fav team to follow after the browns left Cleveland. Darren Woodson was the so underrated. He could play both the pass and the run. Unbelievable player and an ultimate professional.
As a cowboys fan born in 1997 this video makes me so sad...
I feel 4 ya bruh .
thank you for reminding how awesome 90's turf shoes were
Do the 49ers after the Harbaugh era or my Packers after SB 45
Your packers still great team that comes Bears fan
@@bearstown19show no theyre not lol
johnstjohn1987 GB didn't really collapse until like the 2017 season
Packers after the Ice Bowl would be much more reasonable. The question I have asked myself after watching just two of these videos is would that be too ancient, and I ask this as a person who loves to study sport from the really distant past.
Then, if Packers after the Ice Bowl is OK, then why not the Yankees after their 1949 to 1964 dynasty - 1965 was the Yankees’ worst season for over four decades??
Anyone else have this pop up in their recommended feed after the Cowboys lost last night?
Jones built the cowboys. However, Jones and Johnson built a Dallas dynasty.
Jones worst move was firing Johnson in 1994.
Johnson as head coach the cowboys could have won many super bowls.
His 2nd was not drafting randy moss in 98 that could've been a game changer.🤦🏽♂️
@@seanblaze4788 please don’t bring up anymore bad news 📰 I can’t take anymore lol
The best part all the Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl wins is that none of them happened when the Internet was a thing. Now all we have to put up with online is the cowboys fans who think their team is going to win the Super Bowl every single year and we all can just collectively point and laugh at them.
Jerry Jones meddled with the Cowboys roster, staff and football operations? I am shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.
Jerry sold his soul for that last Superbowl against the Steelers.. He's said he'll never ask for another Superbowl as long as he lives as long as the Dallas Cowboys beat the Steelers.. The Dallas Cowboys will NEVER WIN AGAIN as long as he's alive. it's never gonna happen..

@@young-blk-investor1059 oof
@@young-blk-investor1059 as a cowboys fan your the idiot that they group us with. Stop being delusional idiot we won’t be good till ATLEAST 5 years
Jerry: "God? All I want is to beat the Steelers in the Super Bowl! I won't ask for another one!"
God: Bet
Another great episode done by SB Nation! Could you do one on my favorite MLB team the Oakland A's? You could do it from the early 70's A's teams who won 3 consecutive world series or even the mid to late 80's A's teams who went to 3 straight world series! Thanks in Advance!
This just highlights the amazing success of the Patriots for almost two decades. They achieved a level of consistency that no other team could achieve, regardless of how talented the teams were (90s Cowboys, early 2000s Rams, early 90s Bills, late, 80s, early 90s 49ers).
It was the 49ers with only one quarterback.
If you want consistency, then Gibbs and the Redskins going to 4 SBs in 10 years and winning three of them with three different QBs, none of them Hall of Famers, shows that in spades.
Y’all have to do the OKC Thunder Collapse Next.
They already have it.
Easy enough. The owner didn't want to lose money to pay them.
We need a part 2
I’m here after their Wild Card loss to San Fran 😂
You gonna be here every year
@@monolithgeometry3221 😂😂😂😂😂
This series seems custom designed for the 1985 Chicago Bears.
@Harry Engel however, the Raiders won 3 championships over 8 years. The Bears never even reached the Super Bowl again during the 1980s.
The bears are like the Knicks an overrated big market team that hasn’t won a title in decades 35 years for the bears 47 years for the Knicks
@@imusama1876 I read somewhere that the Knicks have the highest estimated value of any NBA franchise. I believe it since everything is more expensive in New York.
Y E S.
As a Giants fan, after their "Collapse" episode, I needed this.
I'll be eternally grateful to the Giants for restoring dignity to the NFL.
This video hits harder than ever mid way into 2022
The title of this video is the absolute truth! What kind of an owner loses a coach that just won back to back Super Bowls! Not a smart businessman at all!
I've been waiting for this one
11:14 panthers sign Newton...
Kids that’s called foreshadowing
The only credit Jerry Jones deserves is for buying the team, putting Johnson in as couch, and signing checks. Switzer contributed to losing the 94 championship game alright...in big ways. The season was actually lost the minute Erik Williams wrecked his car thanks to Switzer's wuss coaching approach that put zero fear into the players for their behavior. It was clear the Cowboys had no edge anymore when San Fran beat them in the regular season, and as bad as it was there.... Switzer had them totally unready in the championship game and it was 21 points for SF before anyone knew it. Fast forward to present day...the only constant for the cowboys is failing in the critical moment, usually beating themselves....and as long as the Cowboys are in the spotlight, that's just fine with Jerrah. He doesn't truly care about winning, else he would have fired himself a long, long time ago.
This was huge
Please do the Orioles run from 2012-2017 before falling back into irrelevancy in 2018
Orioles didnt collapse because they didnt even make it to the WS, one ALCS appearance and they got swept... a team has to reach the top for them to collapse. Orioles did neither and nobody thought they would win anyway
Do a Dolphins collapes after the Marino era ended.
His team let him down.
@@matthewdaley746 Or he just choked in the postseason more often than not
Ended after that 84 sb loss
I can do one for you in about 10 seconds:
Dolphins during Marino-Era: Had Marino
Dolphins collapse after Marino-Era: Didn’t have Marino
Hope that explains it clearly enough.
Marino never won a big game. So who cares.
Jerry Jones might as well be Jim Jones at this point, he keeps selling the Cowgirls fans blue cool-aid and they keep gulping it down!
You respect the cowboys for their success but it's amazing how much their fans talk no Superbowl since 1995 and counting
