It is a good article very much like the majority of commentary that has preceded it for a very long time—namely that a major problem for the Cowboys must be fixed and then not focus upon the main solution to the major problem. Jerry Jones as general manager is the major problem and the one person who can facilitate the solution.
The author does touch on the subject. Examples:
“...he needs to love it a little less and actually consider... and even front office staff with a diversity of background that can challenge the stale status quo.”
“He’s not just the owner, but he’s also the general manager, which eliminates one more voice out of the decision-making process.”
“The most obvious solution is to find some fresh ideas. If nearly everyone is from the Cowboys and has always known the Cowboys’ way and has little to no experience with a team owner not named Jerry Jones, then perhaps the ideas, the internal debates, and the thought process get stagnant.”

Good but not enough. More commentary, from articles to talk shows, should make the meat of their thoughts about the one constant since he bought the franchise.
Successful businesses are not afraid of change. Jones has played his part in achieving great things inside and outside of football LONG ago. He has always had the opportunity of attaining even greater success by allowing unsupervised fresh perspective in football matters.
He has never wanted someone else to share appropriate credit in his franchise’s successes. And those individuals who have mass access to the public he provides entertainment, rarely drive that fact home. The funny thing is that commentary centered on Jones could have the greatest impact on Jones himself.
