He sure did a good job of putting together the team and overseeing it. It's exciting having a good team that is a contender.
Jones had a LITTLE BIT of help putting the team together that is ignored but I do not disagree otherwise.

Yep, and he put outstanding people in the organization that are doing a great job.

This will be my final comment deviating from the OP.

Will McClay is one of those outstanding people Jones hired. McClay has done a great job in my opinion. It is regrettable Jones has not done the professionally correct move and provided McClay with the appropriate job title of Dallas Cowboys General Manager.

Regarding Schoonmaker: is there some kind of secret Jerry Jones team building policy requiring the Cowboys to have a specified number of ginger hair players or coaches? Asking for a friend from Arkansas

If McClay doesn't care, why would we care?

Psychology is science. Not an opinion. Leadership and its many forms are taught principles. My 'opinion' can and will be dismissed but it will not alter what Jones has done, is doing and shall continue doing. Likewise, I (and others) shall continue commenting, both on and outside this site, what Jones does.
Is psychology a science?

Could you get all psychologists to agree an owner/GM shouldn't be out there?

I don't like Jerry playing coach anymore than you do. And I cringe to see it. But you seriously can't be invoking "science" to buttress your argument, bro.

Jealousy. Period. Jerrys not allowed to address his new additions to HIS team??

So it's OK for the CEO's oh apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Tesla to show up at their board meetings and occasionally give a motivating speech for his employees but it's not OK for Jerry he gets mocked now what I see is a bunch of really jealous fans because Jerry flies around on helicopters lands on yachts owns the team they cheer for and they can't help themselves, so they have to try to belittle the guy at every opportunity??
Jerry Derangement Syndrome, IT'S REAL!!!!

It is not necessary for a general manager to address players around practice. There are other opportunities to do the exact same thing at another time or place.

This is an example of what an individual wants to do. Not what should be done. A football executive should want a coach to exert as much of a leadership example within a player development environment as humanly possible.

That is not Jerry Jones' mentality as a football executive for his entire 34-year oversight of his franchise. His desire is for his employees, his players, to split their leadership perceptions between that of the coaches and himself. That is not a positive intangible influence. It is a negative one.
How do you know? Were you there and heard what he said? It’s rookie mini-camp for crying out loud. He has every right to instill a few words of wisdom without the Karens here jumping all over him.
