Success was not enough for the owner and the head coach.

Jerry Jones, was annoyed during the NFL meetings in Orlando in March 1994 because he thought coach Jimmy Johnson and his associates had disregarded him at a league party. Late at night in a hotel bar, he mentioned to some reporters that 500 coaches could train the Cowboys.

Jones and Johnson's strained relationship led to the Dallas coach leaving the team after the 1993 season. Johnson's potential to lead the Cowboys to four consecutive championships left many disappointed.
