He had a tight control over that roster (including cutting a guy in the middle of a game).
And who hired Jimmy? The question of who deserves the credit is what created the rift in the first place as both Jimmy and Jerry had massive egos which is understandable. While I'd argue Jimmy deserves more credit, it's not a zero sum game. And neither could replicate the success they both created in Dallas (Jimmy with the Dolphins and Jerry with the post-Superbowl XXX Cowboys). How the league and roster building largely passed them both by which we are constantly reminded of with how Jerry and crew fail to get ahead of contract extensions.
