It's just so pathetic that nobody in the media has the balls to follow that up with "Would you make a change at GM?"

They won't do it. They're scared to do it. They like their access. The last guy who did was shipped to NBA coverage, if I'm not mistake.

Jerry Jones is an egomaniacal lying lunatic.

They've done that before, we already know the answer, pointless to ask it again...

From the start Jerry has been the owner AND general manager. That hasn't changed.

But Jerry's perception in the early 1990's was that Jimmy was getting the lion's share of the credit. Was that true?
Maybe, but all Jerry had to do was change his perception. Pretty sure he knew Jimmy wasn't going to be the head coach for as long as Jerry was the owner and general manager. Jimmy never stayed at one school that long (though when he got to Miami and won a title he was in a much better position to win championships). In the long term Jerry, if SBs continued to follow, with Jimmy or whoever, WOULD get more credit.

But his ego wouldn't allow it.

I do wonder somewhat (but only somewhat) why , at his current age of 78, why he STILL won't hire a gm. Maybe he feels it will take too long for a new gm to put his stamp on the team and start winning rings again. Maybe he truly feels Dak and McCarthy have this team on the cusp of another title. Maybe he feels he'll live to be 100 and has plenty of time to win more SBs.

One things for sure, nobody knows exactly why he won't hire a gm. We can suppose and guess and conjecture all we want, we can even categorically state why he won't do that. But the simple fact is we don't know and maybe will never know....

Great CEOs hire the best GMs
really? the best gm huh, how can THE BEST GM be available to hire? why would an owner allow THE BEST GM get way..????

who is the best GM in the game? what he would quit to run the DC? and for sure hes guaranteed to be in a sb in 3-5 years Guaranteed?

im betting if that were the case Jerrys comments were just that he would hire the guy in a NY minute..period..truth is there are no guaranteed and the best of everything is typically not available..

so calm down on the keyboard claims..pundits..so much football knowledge in here judging a billionaire CEO.Owner/GM claiming he doesnt know football and act as if you can do it better. Seriously??

wow the egos in here..

who here is an NFL GM? owner?

heck how but the jock strap scrubber..nope no ties to the NFL whatsoever but sure know an awful lot..hmmm

That's only part of the job of a CEO. Much more to it, Jerry can be a great CEO and not hire the best gm. Besides, how many "best" gms started out that way? Took Schramm 11 years to get a SB win, Dolphins' gm did it in 5. Jerry hired Parcells, who by all accounts got much more control of the team than any coach but Jimmy, but still no more SBs. Yet now the Cowboys are the most valued franchise in the league, despite no more SBs.

I'm completely in agreement that Jerry is a great CEO, despite not hiring a gm...

Nothing is going to change with this organization. As long as he continues to play GM. If it wasn’t for the star and what I think it represents. I find myself another team. But 60 years is hard to do that. Imagine 23 minutes from George Stadium. And I could’ve been a patriots fan for all these years. No I’ll keep going with the loser. Go cowboys. Maybe McCarthy will be the first coach to win a Super Bowl at two teams
I live in NE and was at Patriot Place 2 weeks ago and could be a Pats fan but nope I remain loyal to the only team I've rooted for since I was a little kid. Jerry is a great seller of the brand and has helped shepherd in the league a new era in NFL football economics and other league matters. But as GM of the Cowboys he never should have been. But if the Cowboys end up winning it all in Jerry Jones lifetime then he may be fulfilled and forgiven just as Bill Buckner was in Boston when the curse of the Bambino was lifted. But still a lot of wasted years that could of been very different had only more astute and qualified football people had been hired over that same time to run this Cowboys football club. I was very spoiled with the last regime of Landry and company.

Yea he would do anything as long as anything doesn’t interfere with his marketing and promotional devices and campaigns.

the cowboys are a marketing company that just happens to play football a few weeks a year.

Why do I hear Meatloaf singing, "I would do anything for love" whenever I hear JJ make these sort of comments.

But, he won't do that

I'm right there with you, only change the 60 to 53 years.

I grew up in central East Texas and became a Cowboys fan. 10 years after that I moved to Houston and thought "Gee, the Oilers are here, maybe I'll add them to my team list". But then the Houston paper at that time let people call in comments, and of course there were lots of Cowboys haters, jealous because of the Cowboys' success, who called in comments like "Bum's a better coach than Tom because his record in his first 3 years was better than Tom's", conveniently of course ignoring the fact that Tom took over a brand new expansion team, Bum a 15 year old team, but I digress) and turned me off of any chance of being an Oilers' fan. And now most any team (except maybe the Pats) would have similar fans, so it's been far too long with Dallas to change now....

Jerry is a visionary when it comes to promotion, but his team operational foresight is severely lacking. That's why we've seen him attempt to copy previous champion's makeup, even it breaks the path the team was on. That's why he gets many opinions from knowledgeable NFL people he trusts and aggregates that to a decision, like most of us do when we shop for something. He's the Rotten Tomatoes of team management.

There are several posters here who could do it better.

We're not claiming he doesn't know football, we're stating it. He's gone out of his way to prove it.

Your conclusion is woefully inaccurate. You're basing your post on hysteria and hoopla w/o examining facts. Yes, you should move on, you've lost this one.

Yeah nobody ever heard of the Dallas Cowboys before him.

They were in bad financial shape but Jerry couldn't have done here in Cincinnati. It's the Cowboys' mystique that allowed him to turn them into the most valuable.

To say he created it is an overstatement and disrespectful to the guys who truly built it.
