Jones' intention from the start was to hire his 1960s University of Arkansas football teammate, jimmy Johnson, as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Otherwise, he would not have bought the team.
The move proved to be a fruitful one. Johnson, who had won a national title as head coach of the University of Miami Hurricanes, rebuilt the Cowboys into a powerhouse that won three Super Bowls in four seasons.

Was that a smart move from jerry Jones to fire tom landry?
It was smart in the football sense in that Landry was reaching the end of his career, the Cowboys teams were constantly losing, and Landry himself refused to change his approach. Most people were simply mad at the way Jones fired Landry, he kind of just came in and said you're fired and replaced with him Jimmy. It was a tough move as the Cowboys weren't going anywhere and it didn't seem like Landry would retire unless he died so it had to be done, it just could have been done much more smoothly.
