Eisen mentions, “I have choices is his way of saying I could have replaced this man if I didn’t have confidence in him because I’m Jerry Jones, I’m a Dallas Cowboys, I have choices, and I didn’t take advantage of those choices because I believe in this man to my right.

NFL analyst compares Jones’ remark with The Godfather

Further, in the Rich Eisen Show, Jerry Jones’ remark became an extensive topic of debate among the panelists. The Cowboys owner kept the word in such a way that brought a horde of speculations on the subject. Host Rich Eisen believes this scene to be familiar with a 1972 classic, The Godfather.

Eisen compares the current scene with the one where Virgil Sollozzo said to Tom Hagen, “What are you worried about? If I wanted to kill you, you’d be dead already.” 

Eisen solely believes Jerry pulled a Godfather move over McCarthy. Jones could have him cut from the team, but he did not do so. If Eisen is right, one could consider Jerry Jones fierce.
