I wonder who might have purchased the Cowboys if he had gone with the Chargers?
There were plenty of bidders.

SAN DIEGO – It’s a little known fact that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones almost bought the Chargers.
Decades ago, Jones threw his hat in the ring to purchase the San Diego Chargers.
FOX 5 asked Jones what the Chargers would be like today if he had bought them. Jones would not speculate on “what ifs,” but said for sure he would have been a very active owner has he has been with the Cowboys.
Yes.True. But would you trade the 90s dynasty? For the unknown?
That's what it looks like.The early success was both a blessing and a curse. We literally sold our soul to the devil.
That was the best thing Jones did was hire Jimmy Johnson after that it was down hill.Buss would likely have gotten us to the same level Jones did if you see how he ran the Lakers.
The biggest thing here is Jones' decision to hire Coach Johnson. Interestingly enough, Johnson was already being rumored to Dallas even before Jones bought the team.
No. But, if the new owner "X" hired Jimmy and left him alone to be GM/Coach, yes.True. But would you trade the 90s dynasty? For the unknown?
We also had a great staff. Coaches were good. Scouting was outstanding: Wooton, Mansparger, Ackles. When they all left and all that remained were loyalists like Lacewell, Ciskowski and Garrett? Explains a lot.No. But, if the new owner "X" hired Jimmy and left him alone to be GM/Coach, yes.
We took the good with the bad. Kind of like teen pregnancy. A moment of esctasy and a lifetime of pain.We also had a great staff. Coaches were good.

So Jimmy would've been coaching the Chargers instead of the Cowboyshttps://fox5sandiego.com/sports/jerry-jones-almost-bought-san-diego-chargers/

There were pretty much four.There were plenty of bidders.
I view it more like having a child.We took the good with the bad. Kind of like teen pregnancy. A moment of esctasy and a lifetime of pain.
Time travel means zero since we are all living in The Matrix.I wouldn't sacrifice those three SB titles we've won with Jerry just to change the owners. Time travel is a bad thing because changing history always has adverse effects somewhere down the line.
The two highest bids in 1989 were from Laker owner Dr Jerry Buss and Mavericks owner Don Carter.I wonder who might have purchased the Cowboys if he had gone with the Chargers?
Yes, who knows under Lakers or Mavericks owner we could have had similar success or more this era without the embarrassment.True. But would you trade the 90s dynasty? For the unknown?
Correct . Jimmy’s name had already been mentioned before Jethro.Buss would likely have gotten us to the same level Jones did if you see how he ran the Lakers.

We don’t know if we would or not.We’d lose 3 Super Bowls
It actually wouldn’t have taken too much in 1966.Now I hope someone builds a time machine so we can all chip in and help him get the Chargers!!
