I believe Jerry is more concerned about the DC brand than the team

[Rally]

I hate to say it ,but Im starting to believe that J. J. Is more concerned about THE DALLAS COWBOYS brand than the team. I agree that he is the best owner in sports. But,
If you keep doing the same thing over and over , year after year , and expect different results .
Well , you know where im going.

 

[superonyx]

At this point the only thing he cares about is credit.
You want him to step away and let someone else build a winner.

What does Jerry get out of that?

 

[tyke1doe]

Jerry wants to win Jerry's way, which means giving him credit and authority and letting him speak as the chief spokesman for the Dallas Cowboys - the team HE bought.
No serious coach is going to want such an arrangement. So we'll keep getting puppet masters like Dave Campo, Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett.
Get rid of Garrett and in comes another coach with strings attached to his torso, legs and mouth.
20 + years and counting.
Nothing is going to change.
Maybe we'll luck into a Super Bowl in the year 3000.

Maybe but the product will no longer be on the field it will be VR, so Dallas will win the Madden Bowl...

Jerry wants to win more than you and I combined.

How is he the best owner in sports?????? Because he's charismatic?

Because here at the Star, financial success > on-field success.

Why is he the best owner in sports? Because his team has the most net worth?

The "Dallas Cowboys" brand was already a marketable commodity before Jerry came along, which is why they're still popular despite two decades of accomplishing nothing on the football field, under the direction of "the best owner in sports" fulfilling the role of GM.

Jerry is a successful business man. He knows how to make money. But his ego is the biggest thing keeping him from being the best owner in sports. He'd rather drive the ship and lose than hand the keys to someone else and win.

Not at all. The The Cowboys, I believe is the richest franchise in American sports.

Um, this has been true since he fired Jimmy.

Not as much as Jerry wants to be the reason the Cowboys win. If all he wanted to do was win he wouldn't have been jealous of Jimmy getting credit and shoved him out the door.

Where do I start?

Jerry Jones has always been about the brand. His first years in the NFL as owner was him trying to figure out how to make the Cowboys profitable again. He essentially "lucked into" Jimmy Johnson. Once Jerry got the hang of the business side of football, his ego surpassed all reality. Hence the firing of Jimmy, contracting Switzer and the mediocre product we have seen since 1997. What he did do was change the way football teams sell and market. His deal with Nike changed the way the NFL did business. That is a fact. Nobody questions Jerry's business sense. He took a Cowboys organization that was struggling under Bum Bright, and turned it into a nearly $5 billion organization.

The problem is that Jerry dabbles in everything with the Cowboys and when one tries to be owner, coach, GM, spokesperson, trainer, and God knows what else, it leads to problems.

What does Jerry get out of that?

Credit for being the smart owner who hired the guy, and more trophies. But that's not enough to satisfy Jerry's ego.

What does Jerry get out of that?

His old San Francisco [sic] prospector adage.

 

[ShiningStar]

welcome to the club. beer, depression, and lack of pride are abundant.

 

[mattjames2010]

Winning football games and a Super Bowl is part of making more profit. So yes, Jerry wants to win.

He knows there will always be a market for the Cowboys, they are just that iconic. However, to say an owner doesn't care about winning is absurd. Consistently being a good team creates superstars, just look at the Patriots and what that franchise started as and what they are now.
