Does Jerry Have a Succession Plan?

[plasticman]

If so, it must have been approved by his wife.

If the is no succession plan and an owner dies, then the ownership is transferred to the widow.

This is because she is already half owner due to community property. Jerry was married before he bought the Cowboys.

In such a case, she would have the authority to make the management4 decisions. There are many cases throughout NFL history where the widow took over as the owner.

The most infamous involved the sudden, and suspicious death of the Rams owner Carrol Rosenbloom. His wife at the time, Georgia Frontier took over as owner and almost immediately fired the Vice President of Football Operations, her stepson, Steve Rosenbloom.

i don't know if Gene Jones would ever take an active role over her own sons but I just get the gut feeling that she is probably the smartest person in the family. Hopefully, she would be willing to listen to advice outside of the family. At the very least she would have immense power over any decisions made by Stephen Jones.

Everyone assumes that Stephen takes over as both owner and GM. Gene Jones could be the key that returns this team to the sanity of professional football executives.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Absolutely not. He is a narcissistic control freak and he hasn't given a thought about what happens after he is gone for some time. He said earlier this year that there is no one better to be running the team.

That being said, at some point in the past the Cowboys were placed in a trust and ownership percentages will obviously change. Just have to see how it all plays out.

Is Stephen her son? If he is, what reason do you think she would have in getting in his way?

He’s never had a plan, just been stupid lucky at our expense

 

[starfan1]

If Jerry has an accident @plasticman has an alibi I saw him here posting. Just kidding!

No I doubt there is much of a plan but I agree Jean may be the only one with a serviceable Football IQ

 

[Wildcat711]

I was saying this the other day.. no-one knows what's in Jerry's will.

Maybe we will get unexpectantly lucky.

 

[Gambit]

Id lie the op to detail his succession plans for afternoon perishes.

What an incredibly inappropriate and wholly personal question to ask.

We are fans of a team that plays a game that years ago caught hold of our hearts.

Some people thinks that entitles them to ask these kind of questions, gives others the right to answer them with authority while taking shots at someone.

He’s said multiple times that Stephen will take over.

What??

Nothing wrong with the question.

 

[DandyDon52]

She knows he is an idiot ?

 

[Gambit]

What??

Its simply none of our business.

 

[Tabascocat]

I am pretty sure Jerry said Stephen takes over football operations with equal ownership split between them.

 

[HungryLion]

AI Jerry jones.

He’s going to upload his thinking into the cloud so he can rule the cowboys forever.

I see no problem whatsoever in us wondering who the Cowboys go to in the future.

Not sure why it would bother you.

 

[RS12]

Jerry said there was a succession plan within the last 6 months to year. You really didn't think you would escape the Jones family plague just because he goes toes up, did you?

 

[Flamma]

She knows he is an idiot ?

I just don't know that she cares if the Cowboys win super bowls or not. Just that they're a valuable asset.

What an asinine take

 

[Cowboys5217]

A few possibilities:

1) A clone of himself. He's got the cash for it.

2) His head in a jar like on the Simpsons.

3) An Artificial Intelligence copy of himself with hologram projectors positioned every 10 feet in the stadium.

I would much prefer my friend Rockport to assume control rather than Stephen.
And thats no joke.
