Default Staubach: Too much for Jerry Jones
Quote:
IRVING, Texas -- Count "Captain Comeback" among those who think Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones needs to shed some of his duties and delegate more authority in the team's front office.

"Jerry is trying real hard," Hall of Fame quarterback Roger Staubach said Friday on the Mike & Mike Show on ESPN Radio. "He goes back to the old days when they won three Super Bowls. I think the formula is he's got to find a medium ground and delegate more authority."

Earlier this week, when asked if he'd ever step down as general manager, Jones said there was "no way that I would be involved here and not be the final decision-maker on something as important as players. ... It's been a debated thing, but it's just not going to happen."

This is awesome, the media and true fans of this franchise need to continue to pile on Jerry. If it continues he will have no choice. Hope this is just the beginning.

Sure he has a choice. It is his team. To think we can tell him what to do is naive.

Jerry will continue doing what he does until one thing happens: fans stop going to the games and stop buying Cowboy merchandise. In other words, until it hits him hard in the pocket.

Even if he did appoint another GM I think the person would just be a figurehead and JJ's puppet. Jones would still be calling the shots behind the scenes.

Don't play dumb with me, I'm better at it than you are.

Exactly, and what needs to be done.

Until then, the revenue enables him to deliver a bad product, like GM did for years until the public finally had enough.


Seriously, I'd like the local neighbor Dr. Phil (or another professional with his qualifications) to explain ego...ego has JJ over-controlling the team, but wouldn't most egos years ago delegate football operations so the owner would be seen as part of the success rather than the curse?

As an oilman, JJ never tried to be head geologist, did he?

This is a powerful statement from Staubach, being diplomatic and slow to criticize.

I agree, but I doubt if things really change(and this is morbid) until Jerry passes away....

Leave a lot of seats empty at home games. I know it won't happen but that is how you get across to a franchise that the fan base is not happy with what is going on. There is an article on nfl.com about Jones' perception of the Cowboys.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...line-is-strong

This guy has one giant ego if he thinks he knows how to build a winning franchise.

I could build the Cowboys into a winner way faster than Jones could. I won't but I could!! lol

Jerry read the article and went into "there's a chance" mode.

"I could've done a $2 billion takeover (in another industry) with the capital I put in the Dallas Cowboys," he says. "I really could see (myself as) the idiot who had something real good, who blew it all to coach the Cowboys. I just knew that was going to be my legacy." Jerry Jones 9/14/2012

If this is not seen as a wake up call to Jerry, we might as well move on.

He has a choice, but if things continue to go in this direction his choice will be face empty seats and a rebellion or hire a GM.
