Because he has a chemical engineering degree from Arkansas, duh.
Million dollar question we ask each other daily.So Jerry and Stephen think they are NFL GMs that are capable of building a team, evaluating talent, signing free agents and everything that involves building a championship roster
Besides being billionaires what makes them believe they can do this?
30 years of history is in the books now…
Yes, yes it does.Does it really matter?
70s were a great time to be a Cowboy fan.Love the 70’s best era ever!
Great rant dandy!!!!Well first off Jerry was just a millionaire when he borrowed the money to buy the team.
He made himself president and general manager, because his ego was so big he thought he was smarter than anyone else anywhere in the NFL.
He thought he would be the best GM in NFL because he was the smartest guy in NFL.
Over the years he has realized maybe he isnt the smartest GM lol, but he enjoys playing the part.
The cowboys are his toy, and he will run the team and org however he wants to, winning or not.
Stephen got his job from his daddy, and probably feels he is as qualified as anyone else in NFL and he is the 2nd smartest person in NFL LOL.
And he too has a big ego, and enjoys playing his role win or lose.
The team is their toy, and they like playing with it so much, that they like doing that more than actually winning SB's.
Plus they still think they can build a SB team and get it to a SB and win it.
Turns out they are slow learners, as after 27 years of failing, they still think they can do it.
And if they cant/dont, it is no big deal, because it is so much fun trying.
I think another 20 years of jerry, and then steven, and maybe by 2042 something will change !! lol
So if you can live past 2042 you may see something different with cowboys, maybe not though, as another jones may step up and take over
and do the same crap.
The amazing thing is that both jones boys ignore the fact all the success came when Jimmy had total control of the team and drafting, and trades.
Smart strong coach in charge of it all, = SB wins.
But they want to play with the team, and win with some bozo puppet HC, and just ignore what was done back in 90s when jimmy built that team.
When you own a team, you dont have to be qualified to play any role, heck Jerry could be HC too if he wanted to do that.
But as it is they can always fire the HC and hire another one to give the fans hope things will change, and avoid blame themselves.
If fans would stop going to the games, and the stadium was half empty, then they might step back and hire a real GM and HC, but unless that happens
and it wont, they will keep doing what they enjoy doing.
It is just simply not possible for me to agree more with everything in this post. We are victims of stupid owners with giant egos that are living off the past that someone else provided. It really amazes me that it has taken 26+ years for most of the media to finally start admitting what is going on.Well first off Jerry was just a millionaire when he borrowed the money to buy the team.

They saw how "easy" Jimmy made it look. That is why. I'm being dead serious. I remember Bill Walsh saying how Dallas (read Jimmy) had built something that was on the verge of dominating (like we've seen from the Pats) for a long time....and the only thing that stopped Dallas was free agency. Well...little did he know....free agency was a small part of it...the biggest part was the Jones Boy's.So Jerry and Stephen think they are NFL GMs that are capable of building a team, evaluating talent, signing free agents and everything that involves building a championship roster

Cause Jed found black gold....
And you know what is most depressing is that nothing will change when Jerry kicks the bucket as only family members need to apply for the job.......Right. The King who owns the rubies makes the rules.
Because they can. Like all mom and pop operations it allows you the opportunity to run your own business. It’s up to the patrons to hold them accountable if the product under produces .So Jerry and Stephen think they are NFL GMs that are capable of building a team, evaluating talent, signing free agents and everything that involves building a championship roster

But the biggest factor that made those championships possible is gone. Surely, they see they’ve struggled, a bit, to fill that role over these years.The Joneses have been part of three championships that’s what makes them believe they can do this.
