Jerry will never give up being the general manager as well as the owner. Never. To do so would admit failure, which is to me silly because regardless of whether or not Jimmy Johnson really built and ran the team, as I and many others believe, the simple fact of the matter is that Jerry WAS the general manager in name during the 3 SB wins. Nobody can say he wasn't, he's always been listed as the general manager, at least on paper.
But the fact is that, again like myself, many others believe Jimmy was by far the reason for the team's early success, and Jerry simply cannot let go of the general manager's title until the Cowboys have won at least one more Super Bowl. To do so would, in his mind, validate my and others' opinion. Being the owner alone and being the one who hired Jimmy just isn't enough. I guess if it was he'd never have bought the Cowboys, which, whether we fans like it or not, was a poor imitation of its former glory, even though we had faith Landry and Schramm would turn things back around, if he was afraid to fail or would be content with just being a very rich man. He had and has an intense desire for more and more success, like most of humanity...
