It really is not that difficult. But before you do anything, step down, hire a real football General Manager, show a sense of purpose rather than narcissism. You are a great man, a rich man, a wildcatting river boat gambling man but, but you are as dense as a rock when it comes to football. Then after that bit of humble, do it for the team and the city and your fans all over the world, let the New General Manager, who OBTW is not to be named Stephen, follow the above template and bring glory back to Cowboys Nation.

While as a fan this sounds awesome.,.you need to remember this is Jerry’s team. He isn’t interested in being a Jefferey Laurie type owner. This isn’t just an investment vehicle for Jerry. This is his daily job. The attention he gets, the radio shows, the way everyone in America knows his name and face is not something he plans to ever give up.
Winning with someone else getting credit as the football genius isn’t winning if you are Jerry Jones.
I understand him.....
May not like this but it’s reality.

More people respect Robert Kraft at this point. He can still be the face of the team as dreadful as that is to imagine, without being at the puppet strings.

It’s debatable. But even if true Robert Kraft isn’t known as the football genius. That title goes to Bill Bilicheck.
Jerry would have to accept that he failed if he brought in someone to do what he does each day.
You are asking Jerry to fire himself....not many guys worth 5 Billion dolllars are going to do that.

If you suggested these moves, fans would accuse you of playing Madden... It's an easy response that requires to effort to actually refute an argument.

Actually business geniuses often take themselves out of position when they realize that they're better off putting people who are better suited to run things in charge.

Small minded people think they can and should run everything. Similar to Jason Garrett not wanting anyone qualified on his offensive staff for years.

Exactly. You set standards and hold them accountable. When you put yourself in charge there is no accountability, so you can be the GM forever regardless of job performance. You end up making scapegoats of everyone under you because, again, you're never accountable. The result if often sustained mediocrity, at best.

Good luck convincing a man who turned a 180m loan into $5 Billion dollars that he isn’t a business genius.

I’m not disagreeing. I’m simply asking people to put themselves in the mind of Jerry.

If Jerry Jones would stick to simply being the owner, he'd be the best one on the league - by far. And maybe the greatest of all time, given his vision and business-savvy. But his "socks-to-jocks" mandate has worked to this team's detreiment to some degree or another since he arrived.

It's a shame he refuses to see that.

It’s a noble gesture but unfortunately a false hope .

Btw .. I like your avatar . The Cowboys old iconic label. I have an old seat cushion with it that was used at the Cotton Bowl.

You mean hire a FULL TIME GM so Jerry would be losing the best PART TIME job in the country.

How many other NFL GMs get to schedule concerts, soccer games, WWF in there stadium? How many other NFL GMs represent their team at owner meetings? How many other NFL GMs run marketing, sales and publicity for their teams?

Well none, because it wouldn't allow them enough time to do their real job of managing all aspects of building the team.

If an average GM works 50 hours/week at their job, how many hours/week do you think JJ dedicates to GM responsibilities (vs. the other things he does as a businessman and owner) for the Cowboys? (Hint) Looks at the results of the last 20 years to get your answer.

Face it, 31 other teams have a GM that is dedicated to making their team better, the Cowboys have a spoiled rich billionaire that uses the GM role as a fun hobby.

I agree.. his need to attention and credit to prove Jimmy Johnson was wrong is also why we don’t have a strong HC. Jerry is the head coach also. The players all know this. JG is just the snitch that can tell Papa Bear Jerry on them.

This is Jerry’s team like it or not. Until he takes his last breath and then we get his son who may or may not need this much attention and credit.

I do have to question whether he saw the big picture when it came to the stadium design.

Jerry is a genius business man, Kraft was smart to hire a football guy and get out of the way like Jerry did when he hired Jimmy, but Jerry couldn't handle someone else getting the credit for running the day to day operations of "HIS" football team, so Jerry isn't anywhere near a genius when it comes to running the day to day operations of an NFL football team as we've all seen over the last 24 years.....

The art museum he calls a stadium?

2 playoff wins in 20 plus years says he is not football smart. He is a good owner and a better business man but a horrible GM. Even if they accidentally win a SB would that be enough to overcome the last 20 years?

It’s a Fantasy job we’re all supporting either directly or indirectly as frustrating as it is for us.

As much as I’ve criticized Jethro for the last 20 years I believe it’s not being totally fair not including his entire time here when evaluating his tenure. And why it’s been a love/hate relationship.

In 1989 I never believed he’d win 3 championships and probably screwed up winning 1 or 2 more but he should still recieve credit for winning those . Something only one other team has accomplished this era. It just all came so quickly we’d like to have spread them out possibly .

So, for whatever his agendas present in handicaps and obstacles to overcome now he accomplished more than I thought he would . And this comes from one of his biggest critics just keeping it real.

It's called ego. Jerry would swim with sharks on the open sea just to say he did. This has been the downfall of many leaders over the millennia.

Not horrible but average .

I really don’t think he has anything to prove but he thinks he does because of what the media and fans have produced not giving him any credit for the rings with Jimmy.

And why he’s still chasing that dream to prove he can do it without a coach like Jimmy.

Jerry said from Day 1 what his attentions were and has never waivered. It was tolerable when we’re winning.

I’m just not sure we anticipated he’d still be going at 75. My question is at what point does he hang it up? 80 .. 85.. or until he drops like Al Davis?
