10 regrets Jerry Jones should have

Two of them were regrets ... guess which one wasn't

Last in the 2009-10 season, Dallas Cowboys owner-GM Jerry Jones made the unusual statement that he regretted firing Chan Gailey in spite of two of three playoff seasons.

All of this in light of Wade Phillips potentially getting fired after every defeat.

Jones' self-admitted regret came back into the headlines when Gailey was asked about it. As if he was supposed provide some monumental insight.

This is an odd regret in that there are 10 different items that Jones should actually regret. Or regret much more than firing Gailey, who finally got a head coaching gig ... in Buffalo.

Here's Jones' regrets:

10. Not Drafting Randy Moss
Moss was in the 1998 draft class. At the time, Jones was working feverishly to clean up the organization cleansing the franchise of the troublemakers and ne'er-do-wells. Therefore, the Cowboys passed (as did 20 other teams) with their eighth pick. Instead, they took Greg Ellis, who whined himself off the team a decade later and Moss became a Hall-of-Fame receiver. Not that Moss doesn't cause trouble, but as my brother-in-law said once, "You can always use Randy Moss."

9. Waiting For The Magic
Between 1992-95, the Cowboys won three Super Bowls. However, by 1995, quite a bit had changed. The offensive line wasn't the same as was the defense. Things got stagnant real quick. Ideally, it was a perfect time for the Cowboys to regroup and start looking to replace some of these priceless superstars. Instead, between 1996-99 -- four drafts -- the Cowboys added Dexter Coakley and Greg Ellis. Every other draft pick they whiffed on including Ebenezer Ekuban, Kavika Pittman, David LaFleur and Clay Shiver. In hindsight, maybe Jones thinks long term.

8. Pacman Jones
Inexplicably, Jerry Jones added the most controversial player in NFL history and added him to his playoff-quality team. On the surface, Jones wasn't as bad as he could've been. Granted, I think everyone was much more disappointed when he was a non-factor in punt returns and his game-breaking talent on defense never really surfaced. Solid, but for a headache that big, you expect more.

7. Spending
Just as the NFL was instituting a salary cap, Jones helped usher in a team that already had a big payroll and continued to spend on high-profile names like Deion Sanders. By 2000, the franchise was up against the cap every season and their financial capabilities for spending was severely hamstrung. It set the franchise back a full decade.

6. The Roy Williams Trade
Two years ago, Jones went for broke by sending four draft picks (including a No. 1) to the Detroit Lions for receiver Roy Williams. At first, he was a guy to help free up Terrell Owens. Quickly, we learned he was Owens' replacement. Since, we learned an undrafted receiver from New Jersey was better than both of them.

5. Drafting Quincy Carter
In 2001, the Cowboys drafted Lavonya Quintelle Carter, a quarterback from Georgia, in the second round. Problem is that Carter would've been there in the sixth round. And Carter did not even start at Georgia the season before. Essentially, Jones took a non-starting quarterback out of a college conference that is not known for its quarterbacks. In the second round. Mainly, because he was black. We'd known him as Quincy.

4. The Joey Galloway Trade
It cost two No. 1 picks and a new, fat contract to get Joey Galloway from the Seattle Seahawks. He tore an ACL the next season, catching just four passes. He never had a 1,000-yard receiver for the Cowboys and he strapped the team for years.

3. Unceremoniously Ditching Tom Landry
Ruthless and cold, Jones (and the rest of Dallas) knew the franchise needed an enema. But Landry was a very special turd, in need of special loving. It'd take no time at all for Jones to learn about public relations.

2. Not Saying Sorry
Jimmy Johnson is one of the few head coaches to win a championship and get fired weeks later. Jones and Johnson were retarded, head-strong old-school brothers, neither of which knew how to say "I'm sorry." Maybe if one of them did, Dave Campo never happens.

1. Hiring Summit Structures To Build The Practice Facility
Obviously.
