Life After Jerry

[Hawkeye19]

I think they'll care if AT&T Stadium is dominated by other fans. That's embarrassing. Imagine loud chants for the other team and then they show Jerry and his son in the owners box. I don't know how you're supposed to react in that situation.

I don't know if I'll watch another game this year. To be honest I haven't enjoyed watching them for about 5 years now. It reminds me of watching a kid trying to ride a bike when the training wheels have just come off. It's not fun. You're just constantly on edge waiting for the fall.

I miss the 90s teams even though I got in on the tail end of it in 1995 whenever he had just begun destroying the franchise. He got close to destroying it in 2 years but it took a little over two to knock us completely out of Super Bowl contention. I knew we were done once that next round of free agency hit and I was right.

Edit: he did destroy it in 2 years because by March of 1996 we were finished.

Totally feel everything you just said. It has been a long time since I have felt confident about this team in the postseason.

They have been finding ways to derail and implode and sabotage their own success for nearly 3 decades now.

It has reached the point where they could go 17-0 in the regular season and I literally would be expecting them to crap the bed and then have to witness another GB debacle again.

This team has become the butt of every joke and the laughing stock of the NFL. In the 90’s people hated us because we were winning. Now they just hate us for the sake of rubbing our noses in what we have becone.

And I don’t see any evidence that anyone in the franchise actually cares about that.

The most dangerous progeny is Stephen. He has the greatest potential to believe he knows what he is doing.

The others may be intelligent enough to realize that they ae over their heads as pertains to football operations. They would, most likely, hire a qualified GM.

However, Stephen has been involved in football operations with his father to the point where he's probably been infected with the flawed belief that he has talent in the area.

aren't the cowboys alone worth more than $8.5 billion? explains his cheapness, this is all he has.

 

[john van brocklin]

Stephan has proven to be a man of hubris, a chip off the old block just like his dad. IMO, the only one with any brains and an ounce of humility is Charlotte. If Charlotte somehow was in charge, a very remote possibility, then I might have a little optimism, but with Stephan it will be more of the same. Will anyone in the Jones family ever turn all football matters over to the football experts? That is the billion dollar question.

Question :
If they have several losing season under SJ and the stadium starts having empty seats, will SJ stay in charge or hire a GM?

that is from Wikipedia which is not exactly a reliable source
Forbes on their 2024 list has him at $15.2 billion
Cowboys are supposedly worth $10 billion so he has quite a bit besides the boys

Life after the Jones family is just a dream many of us will never live to see happen.

Even if they did sell then America’s Team will probably end up being owned by Saudi Arabia…since all the Joneses care about is money.

Stephen is the Cowboys' chief operating officer, executive vice president, and director of player personnel. Charlotte is the Cowboys' executive vice president and chief brand officer. Jerry Jones Jr. is the Cowboys' chief sales and marketing officer/vice president.

People have numerous questions about jow Stephen will run the team when Jerry is out of the picture. But people often forget about the other two nepo babies involved in operations. How do we know he will inherit the ownership majority? How do we know there will not be a power struggle between Stephen, Jerry Jones Jr., and Charlotte?

Also, how do we know infighting over ownership stakes in other parts of their business empire will not bleed over to Cowboys operations?

Jerry Jones and his family are also involved in a number of operations, including:

Oil investments
Jerry Jones made his first million in the 1970s from oil investments and still invests in drilling opportunities

Real estate
The Jones family invests in retail and residential real estate projects in Dallas

Jerry Jones' net worth is estimated at $8.5 billion, primarily from his ownership stake in the Cowboys.

The next 2 GMs are already in place - Lil Stevie and that curly haired kid thats been in the war room for the past few years - I think his name is Spaulding.

Dark times ahead...

Wondering if that could be done now!!

The rest of the league owners are probably loving the fact that Jerry can't manage to win anything on the football field but he's able to make the rest of the owners big money in his other aspects of NFL deals and negotiations.
To them Jerry's a win/win.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Our only hope is that Charlotte wins the inheritance championship. She's the only competent person in the building and would never take the GM reigns. She would hire someone.

Stephen is the problem. If our resident cap miser wins out, this futility could go on indefefinetly.

I concur.

Great point.

 

[Creeper]

We have to hope that Stephen is not the same kind if egotist Jerry is. Stephen will inherit the GM role is my guess, but perhaps he won't be able to sluff off the criticism like his father does. Otherwise, we are in for another 30 years of what we are seeing now. I'm 71 so the chances are pretty good I won't be around to see any positive changes after Jerry is gone.

Is there any way we can Dan Snyder Jerry and get a new owner?

NFL by-laws allow for the removal of an NFL owner by having a minimum of 24 of 32 owners voting for that. If the vote were to happen against any owner, it is un-appealable in court.

Having said that, it would require a lot more egregious behavior than he’s done so far. A couple years ago, Carolina owner Jerry Richardson was removed for a pattern of sexual harassment but he was forced out without a vote. Same from Dan Snyder who agreed to sell under pressure.

Interesting that Carolina’s new owner David Tepper was fined $300k recently by the NFL for what the league just called “inappropriate conduct”. The NFL’s personal conduct policy says this: “Everyone who is part of the league must refrain from ‘conduct detrimental to the integrity of and public confidence in’ the NFL. This includes owners, coaches, players, other team employees, game officials, and employees of the league office, NFL Films, NFL Network, or any other NFL business.”

Based on the fact that Jerry has been sued by a woman recently for sexual harassment, it is interesting that Jerry (to my knowledge) has never been fined for that. In fairness, he deserves like all Americans of presumed innocence but his personal history certainly makes those allegations plausible.

And Jerry’s bullying behavior to the Dallas radio hosts recently…is that not a violation of the NFL’s conduct policy?

nah he has plenty of assets not in the Cowboys, basically a North Texas land Baron now. Thanks to the Cowboys of course.

There would have to be a storm of wokeness for the owners to interrupt their cushy quiet lives and try to oust Jerry. He would have set fire to the American flag and spit on the graves of soldiers ........ oh wait that's ok now. Hmmm..... maybe if he was accused of raping a handicap trans person while disparaging Indians........ that could work.

Exactly. Stephen is the worst option. He thinks he is a cap genius but he has no clue how to build a SB team in the salary cap era.

He has no business being in his current position.

 

[basel90]

The good news is that if Stephen takes over and the cowboys issues continue, the family will force a decision to hire a professional coach to avoid infighting and a broncos situation that ended with the family having to sell the team.
Jerry has all the power as he is the living owner. Once jerry is gone , things will have to move positively back into a professional mode.
I have a feeling stephen would not enjoy the scrutiny his father received.

How long did Al Davis hang on?
Seemed like a long time.
