Colin Cowherd on Jerry and the Cowboys

OXNARD, Calif. – Over the course of his life and tenure as the Cowboys owner and general manager, Jerry Jones has taken a lot of risks.

In his own words, Jones took as big of a risk as you can take in January when he hired Brian Schottenheimer to be the 10th head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Schottenheimer hadn't been a head coaching candidate in quite some time and didn't interview with any other teams after his two-year run as Mike McCarthy's offensive coordinator.
Nonetheless, Jones was convinced that his bet was a good one.

"He's a gem, he's a nugget that we rarely see that kind of experience, that kind of input when he was young," Jones said. "And then turn around and be at the level he is, the age he is, and now then he gets to try it and he's the coach, and this is the first time for it. I like those bets. I think there's an extra amount of oomph that you get when it's the first time."

We need lots more media turning on the wannabe GM. 2-3….6 win or less seasons will speed up the process. I’m all in!

Change teams and be a real fan then...Lion fans recently rode in their trucks and echoed, 'don't worry, be happy.'

It's no question that the Cowboys want to keep all of their best players around. It's more of a matter of when, and what the terms are, than if. And those are risks that Jones has shown in the past he's willing to take.

Which proves that even a sports moron can spot what is wrong in Dallas.

Basically the last 30 years of futility has been largely the team having to overcome Jerry's ineptitude as a GM.

Jerry has always been too busy chasing skirts to do the actual real GM stuff.

He's GM by title only until important decisions need to be made, and then he just wings it.
