No. Narcissist. He is not unstable. He is simply a self-conceited fool.

This.
I’m not going to diagnose him with narcissism but he certainly has narcissistic traits. I volunteer most years at the HOF enshrinement week (live in Cleveland) and the year Jerry was enshrined he caused quite the kerfuffle because he wanted to fly and land a helicopter in downtown Canton on the way to the Gold Jacket Dinner. He wanted to make an “entrance”. Of course he was denied because Canton is a small city with about 70,000 people and couldn’t accommodate a helicopter landing downtown. Jerry, from what I was told by people there, was angry about it lol.

Jones was asked how much blame he deserves as general manager for the Cowboys' record.
"As much as you give me when you're talking about how great the talent is," Jones said. "I think you basically step up there that it's a joint effort, has been forever. And it's a joint effort, have a lot of input, have input from some of the best there are in terms of opinions, in terms of deciding what to do. Have lived a life of being able to determine when there's too much input, but don't confuse the ultimate decision with just a single-minded decision.
"That's not the way it works. Never has worked that way. Didn't work that way from the first day I walked through this door. And I've had the last say on everything since I bought the team in 1989. Period."
Jones said he anticipates some "personnel changes," but he was not asked to elaborate. The NFL trade deadline is Nov. 3. He did back head coach Mike McCarthy on multiple occasions.
"One of the reasons Mike McCarthy is the coach is because he's been through it," Jones said. "He's had tough times and he's had disappointing times. ... Certainly we couldn't have wanted to be at this stage with our team this year, but if I'm going to hire a coach that will be at this stage and work through this for the betterment for the rest of the year and for what's in the future, I've got my man."

It will not happen in his lifetime but a board of directors is exactly the type of oversight someone like Jerry Jones requires. Keeping an extra title like general manager for 30-plus years is six times too long and does not promote success via different insightful organizational perspective.

Well I sure as he!! see a leadership void in the GM and Owner offices. That’s my answer.

McCarthy ain’t never been through nothing like this, Jerry. You and your circus are one of a kind.

The worst part about all of this is that this is the crappiest conceivable division you could hope for. All you had to be was not terrible and you could run away with it Patriots-style.
But nope, here we are, lucky only be down 21-0 in the first quarter of games.

Just earlier this year back in January many fans were heralding our owner for hiring McCarthy and finally turning over the team to a proven HC while designating more responsibility to his Cheapskate Son.

The board of directors is ultimately the Cowboys fan base which have however directly or indirectly continued to provide support despite the results on the field. Until that changes don’t expect our ownership to step down.

I’d argue it appears Garrett was holding it all together.

This team was touted by most to be A SB contender now with a proven HC.

Why are fans ganging up on our owner instead of his son and HC. I thought they had taken over and our owner was just a figurehead now. What’s changed?

The fan base can collectively approach Jones with forms of persuasion that might alter his way of managing the team to some degree. However, the hypothetical collective effort must be an planned effort that is innovative and definitely not something to do with unorganized boycotts, billboards, PSL ultimatums, etc., suggested on this site in the past, in order for it to have any reasonable means of achieving success in my opinion.
Many vocal fans perhaps but I believe a significant portion of cowboyszone took a wait-and-see approach to discover how McCarthy would do in a owner/GM/head coach relationship with Jones. Personally, I did not expect the transition to run perfectly smooth as far as on-field results are concerned but hoped it would not deteriorate has badly as it has this early in McCarthy's tenure.

I wish I shared your hope our fans would force the issue cumulatively. But I suspect much like in the past the first sign of any improvement they’ll be back on board.
