Notice how there is always some implied doubt concerning Jerry Jones' accountability? Like he is held within a warm, fortified, bubble of comfort? The same thing does not necessarily occur within other forms of business.
A baby carrier is defective. Factory workers are directly responsible but public attention focuses on the CEO of the company for producing defective baby carriers.
A police-involving shooting occurs. The officer, who pulled the trigger, is directly responsible but the chief of policer is brought under extreme scruntity.
A bank branch fails. Bank employees could have worked better to avoid the collapse but the bank manager's feet is held to the fire.
A pension hedge fund goes insolvent. Brokers knew the investment was not reliable and sold it anyway but the SEC puts the fund's manager under the microscope.
A teacher smacks a student upside the head during class. The teacher was swinging for the fences but the school superintendent gets dozens of angry emails.
A pothole is cracking tire rims left-and-right. The road crew just 'fixed' it five weeks ago but it is the city highway manager's phone ringing all day long.
A jet's engine catches on fire before the plane takes off. Maintenance reviewed and cleared the engine for use but the airline chairman is taking questions during the press conference following the incident.

A. The Owner, President and General Manager (of football operations) or
B. A DNA Kid
