Just for fun, what would you do if you won crazy money in the lottery and you could buy the Dallas Cowboys? What would your opening press conference look like? What actions would you take? To that end, I have always wondered how fun it would be to take over the franchise. Here's what I would do.

My First Conference
"Good afternoon media, fans, family members. The Cowboys have been in Dallas since 1960 and I was born three years later in the Dallas area. My older brother and our dad ensured I was a Cowboys fan since birth and I have enjoyed so many eras of greatness, exciting deep playoff runs, and of course our five championships. In fact, The Dallas Cowboys hold the NFL record for most consecutive winning seasons with 20 from 1966 to 1985. During that time, we reached the playoffs 18 times, won 13 NFC East championships, and reached the Super Bowl five times.

Then the Landry era ended as Jerry Jones bought the team, fired Landry, and hired the great Jimmy Johnson who was the sole architect of a team that won 3 championships in four years.

As a longtime resident of the Dallas area, I am intimately familiar with the hundreds of millions of dollars the local community has invested in the team over the decades as well as our loyal fans worldwide and I want to thank fans everywhere for their support. I do not take this support lightly and as the new owner, I feel a strong obligation to put the best possible team on the field as well as hire the best of the best coaches, scouts, analytics experts, and so on. This franchise has been the benefactor of a tremendously loyal fan base and it is the job of ownership to put winning above all else, no exceptions.

I want to thank Jerry and the Jones family for growing the franchise to the most valuable sports franchise in the world. Jerry's skills as a businessman have created great wealth for the Jones family and his savvy business ideas have greatly enriched the other 31 NFL owners bank accounts with exponential growth.

Taking over as the owner of this great franchise is something I do not take lightly. I remember my pain in watching "The Catch", the losses to Pittsburg in the Super Bowls, the Dez Catch blown call, and many others. Now as the owner, I understand the great challenge that lies ahead in turning around a franchise that has failed to reach the NFC Championship game for almost three decades. But I commit to three pillars of my ownership:

1) Winning will always be my top priority
2) I will hire the best experts in the world and let them do their job without interference
3) We will have accountability from top to bottom which is the foundation of my commitment to winning

It is a privilege to take over as the new owner of the Dallas Cowboys and I look forward to what the future holds for our team. Thank you again to all the fans for your support and let's get to work!"


What about you? What would your press conference look like?
Well said.

Oh, fans lol. Who are these experts you will hire? It's great to say it but you have to actually do it when you're in charge.
Easy. Hire proven football experts and let them make 100% of all football decisions. That is the antithesis of Jerry runs the team.

The first thing I do is pull Jimmy out of retirement, lol . You be my GM.
I would get Tony Romo to be my defensive coordinator.
Then I would get Kellen Moore as a head coach , and he be the offensive coordinator
I would let them hire their own assistant coaches.
And I would demand intelligence. On the field.
Then why hire Romo? You demand intelligence and Romo has zero coaching experience. lol.

I hire the best tv draft analyst to be GM and a guy from the broadcast booth as HC cause that worked out so well before.

One of the first things I would do is fire those idiots that wear black hats and parade around near the end zone, “Your finished, clean out your locker”.

I would also run Rowdy through a wood chipper and remove him from Cowboy’s history.

Those two things would make a big impact on winning playoff games!

Hi, just want to make sure people even in the fantasy world this is beyond fantasy. I mean they don’t take into account let’s see let’s stay in Texas did we used to have a team called the Houston Oilers who up and left without a Super Bowl? How long were they in Texas? Then they moved to was it Baltimore ravens

So he left the Houston Texans I mean so between the Oilers and Texans how much true playoff success that they have because I know they don’t have a Super Bowl win. They’re one of like 12 teams I have no Super Bowl wins and there’s like five or six of them never even been to a Super Bowl and then you have the Cleveland Browns.



so the Cleveland Browns hasn’t even won a division since 1989 I just wanna remind people how hard it is to win in the NFL. How about the Jaguars? I mean how many times have they changed owners GM’s coaches quarterbacks have they had a lot of playoff success have they been to a Super Bowl? Maybe did they win a Super Bowl? I can’t remember. These are just a little example small sample sizes but there’s a lot of teams in this league that don’t even go to the playoffs as much as the Cowboys have let alone win the division of the Cowboys has and I realize it’s been a long time but these fantasies, as if you are gonna buy a team and immediately have better playoff success. It’s just hilarious. It gets better here every day. You really truly believe that and by the way. Let’s stop trying to cancel culture the three Super Bowls that word won by Jerry Jones in this franchise in since 1989. There’s only two other teams I have three more zero wins I just wanna make sure people understand how truly difficult usually have to be a dynasty that’s why the Chiefs took 56 years circled back around and they finally got another. Super Bowl win and it turned into a dynasty just like the patriots.

tell me the answers in here that they can immediately by the team and have more success the Cowboys have had over 30 years it’s just so laughable I don’t even know what to say I mean literally look around the head of the landscape all these teams why the Washington team and the Giants seem constantly losing to the Cowboys I’m in Prescott and Self is like 38 and six against the NFC East I mean you think it’s that easy you are so delusional saying you wasn’t anybody who’s reading this it is laughable that you could just buy a team day it’s a start winning describe what if you was like to be the stars the Mavericks and the Rangers you only have one championship each in their entire existence it took three teams I have three championships to put alongside Jerry’s three trophies it’s laughable you guys are delusional. The point it out to anybody who raises and they say they can do a better job than Jerry Jones I mean they’re absolutely got some big-time ego problems get a whole Lotta NFL franchises can’t even get close .

Not that hard huh? Maybe you don’t pay attention to the rest of the NFL that spent decades and they can’t even win their division 1989 the last time the Cleveland Browns won their division are you serious? I mean go look at all those teams that have been having all these first round picks changing GM’s changing owners and they’re not winning Super Bowls. They are not surpassing anyone you are really need to get a clue don’t many teams ahead of the Dallas Cowboys their top six and win percentage. I’ve been in the playoffs for the last eight seasons. Now go tell me all the new teams getting the championship games because that’s not really happening. Haven’t even won a Super Bowl so this outlandish hypothetical that you would find your way to a $10 billion lottery which doesn’t really. Exist. I don’t remember the lottery for that much but I do know this how often does an NFL team come open for sale even in a hypothetical then you have to bid on it and then you have to win it let alone a Dallas Cowboys but you really think there’s a blueprint for anybody could just run into the NFL enter password the Dallas Cowboys you’re done since 1989 which is three Super Bowl wins there’s only two other teams have done that but oh you mean since the last three Super Bowls but still I think you’re clueless and delusional. All if you think it’s that easy, just a role in by a team and instantly get to the championship game you better look around. Exist I don’t remember lottery for that much but I do know this how often does an NFL team come open for sale even in a hypothetical then you have to bid on it and then you have to win it let alone the Dallas Cowboys but you really think there’s a blueprint there anybody could just run into the NFL and surpass what the Dallas Cowboys are done since 1989 which is three Super Bowl wins there’s only two other teams have done that but oh you mean since the last three Super Bowls but still I think you’re clueless and delusional. All of you think is that easy just a Rollin by a team and instantly get to the championship game you better look around

TLDR.
I think i could hire smarter people, GIVEN 30 YEARS, and make it out of the divisional round. Yall act like they are performing nuero surgery.

I would hire about 5-6 former Cowboys players, coaches and community leaders to form a committee with the task of finding the best possible candidate for the position of GM.

The End

And buy the NFL package.

my presser would be like Buddy Ryans, There's a winner in town. Lol. I would hire Jimmy and Troy as a consultants to lead my GM search. Then let that GM do his thing and stay the £€¥! Out of the way and watch them win.

The main thing I'd focus on (besides all the obvious GM stuff) is the game day experience. There would be no more loud music during each and every timeout. It's beyond annoying. I'd also only allow sales of any playoff tickets to local area codes.
