“The point is, the structure and the stability of the franchise can be impacted by death or a changing of the guard,’’ the 71-year old owner said earlier this year leading up to the 25th anniversary of his purchase of the Cowboys. “This has wounded other franchises.
“Our plan, frankly, I’ve had this plan since I bought the team. What I didn’t know was how effective these people were going to be and how focused and interested they were going to be in the ensuing years.’’
Stephen Jones is the chief operating officer and executive vice president. Charlotte Jones Anderson is an executive vice president and chief brand officer. Jerry Jones Jr. is an executive vice president and chief sales and marketing officer.
“I can tell you they have made it their lives,’’ Jones said. “We have other things and manage other things, but everything else is secondary.
“Sitting here 25 years later, it would have to go down as a highlight, our working relationship. Anyone who knows family relationships knows that working together does not necessarily work out, especially between siblings. I’m very proud of the fact that publicly and privately, I have people say the thing that impresses them most about me is my family.’’
So what is the succession plan? Jones laughed.
“There is enough to go around,’’ he said.

Wonderful.
