The Jerry Jones Arch Is Fascinating

[MountaineerCowboy]

He buys the team and instantly has success.

Wins 3 Super Bowls and is the owner of a dynasty.

Then he proceeds to spend the next 30 years tearing everything apart and destroying all of the goodwill he built up with the fanbase.

He could’ve went down as a legendary football team owner beloved by the largest fanbase in sports, but instead he seems hell bent on going out a hated and absolutely loathed villain.

That’s an image that I never wanted in my head

He sold his soul for those 3 wins and now we are paying for it...

Peaked to early, like it was prom night

It’s fascinating, that at 82, his last HC hire might be Brian Schottenheimer of all people. At least go out with a bang. This hire will taint what is left of his legacy

Yup

 

[thunderpimp91]

You got three wins over playoff teams this year, asking for more just seems ungrateful....

Nobody is going to look back on Jerry Jones with joy.

He’s spent too much time destroying everything.

Exactly, at least get someone like a Deion, Flores, Phillips, or a Gruden to go out with a bang.

The problem with immediate success is that it creates a perception that a person it smart and successful at everything they do.

In professional sports, there is a lot of luck that no one ever considers. Drafting the right players at the right time, hiring the right coach for those players at the right time, signing the right free agents at the right time, avoiding key injuries, and many more smaller factors help decide a team's success.

Jerry continues to act like he knows best, but 28 years of futility prove otherwise. The team is more valuable now because every sports team is more valuable, not because of anything he has accomplished since the last Super Bowl win almost 29 years ago.

At this point, the Dallas Cowboys are nothing more than Jerry Jones' sandbox and we are just sitting on the benches to the side waiting for him to be done playing in it so we can actually have some fun again.

Until then, expect more of the same.

I honestly believe that the more Stephen is involved, the worse Jerry's legacy gets.

Obviously, they're both buffoons when it comes to building a football team, but Jerry at least had some nuts at one point to try for greatness

Jimmy made it look too easy, that's why he thought than any of 500 coaches could do it.

 

[Aven8]

I’ve never understood it either. He’s the top sports team in the world and he could add to that value by winning championships. Yet he refuses to only do it his way. 30 times later still not getting it done. Can you imagine riding a bike 30 times and falling 30 times?

Ironically, his upcoming Netflix docuseries is called “The Gambler”. He might be the most conservative owner / GM in pro sports

His legacy is being tarnished and he doesn't even realize it.

Do you expect his kids to run the team any differently? Stephen might be worse

Which he wasn't a decade ago. That's what makes the arch so strange.

 

[CowboyChris]

I've said for years, If you own the most valuable company in the world, you hire the best CEO's to run and maintain it. since Jimmy we have hired some of the most inept people imaginable.

theres no reason we shouldn't have the best coach running this team period.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

He's been a villain since he got rid of Jimmy and made himself the center of the franchise.
