The Cowboys won 20 playoff games from 1960-1988. That’s when the Cowboys became America’s Team. The name was given in 1978, a decade before Jerry ever touched this franchise. They have won 15 playoff games since he bought it- 11 of them from 1991-96. Four playoff wins in the last 25 yrs. That’s a complete testament to his time as the dominant force here.Absolutely correct. Dallas was "America's team" long before Jerry arrived on the scene. These younger fans and media act like Jerry founded the Cowboys.
Jerry bought the most iconic bulletproof sports brand next to the Yankees. He’s certainly added monetary value, but he did NOT create that value. He bought the most beloved football team in the world. He hired a hall of fame coach in 1989 that coach put together one of the best rosters in NFL history. And Jerry has done little on his own since.
