The team is no longer the cash cow as much as the conduit to celebrity for him.
Will McClay is a great football guy for sure. But he is not the GM. Either in title or function. Jerry Jones has made it crystal clear even recently. He makes all the big decisions. I’m sure McClay has big input. But that doesn’t make him the GM.amateurs???,
so they bought the team in 1989 and ran it since then, had many FOOTBALL guys in the mix...
titles mean nothing but hey i guess you know more than they do given 32 years as owning and running a professional sports team..they also played college ball, watch a lot of football with their children and grandchildren who are playing. So just amateurs since 1989 and learned nothing at all?
BTW WM is the GM regardless of tiles they have a staff of at least 100 under then coaches and FO types,
you say Mcclay isn't a Football guy, none of the others staffers are football people, all the coaches know nothing about pro ball??
many aspects of the GM responsibilities are split up amongst these employees..the Jonses do not do it all..they have cap people, personal people ,analytics department, lawyers, CPAS, huge scouting department( i guess those scouts were home depot employees hired to do pro scouting with no experience?) and many others who make up that role.
yet somehow hiring a GM that been a GM is the answer even though WM is that guy already and other teams int he same time period have let go and rehired new GMs at least a dozen times including coaches and overhauling teams and i don't see that as an key to winning or they would do it..
show me a brand new GM hires his own coach and owner gave him full power and they win the SB that season maybe 2 years 3 years i mean show me the blueprint for sucess by simply hiring and firing GMs even though all owners and FO people above them still have final say??
the Jonses like being the title holders for the public to see , its their team, i have zero issues with that but they are not sitting up on some giant pulpit making decisions without serious input and consideration from a gigantic football staff.
calling them amateurs is a joke in itself. They have 32 years of Pro experience had many football minds under their employment.. 1000s of hours of meetings with football people.
The thing that amazes me about how loyal Cowboys fans are- our love for this team is greater than JJs disrespect for us as fans. He could hold ticket prices at the same level for 5 years and still make billions. He even raised ticket prices again this year. His disdain for Cowboys fans is incredible.
Yep
But you're still supporting him.
Sheep to be sheared. Randy Galloway referred to fans as the Cow sheep for a good reason.
I’m not sure how you see my constant attacking him as support?
12 and 5 was a good start. Let's see what they do this year.
he publicly says that and while it was true the first 5-10 years post Jimmy, its no longer is the case and i can see it in many moves and non-moves i know the Jonses would have done and did not.
A good start to what. We’ve had a couple 13-3’s , a 12-4, 11-5 and what did they start ?
I can promise you this isn’t the only place I have complained .
Another well done post, Hazey! That said, I’d add that the Cowboys are also popular because people see them more, they have the cool uniforms, the awesome stadium, the nickname, the all time leading rusher, etc. I agree that fans don’t care how much the team is worth, but it’s a nice factoid to aggravate the ABD’s when they start with the annual grousing about our nickname!
Support.
I think we all accept the reality as such . But that doesn’t mean we can’t continue calling out how he runs Cowboys Football and what it’s meant to our lack of success this era. And we still can cheer the team on.Newsflash: Jerry's not going anywhere. (No, I don't project folks death nor do I wish for their death. So, my statement is made on the reality that he is the owner, and that's not going to change until the natural progression of life and mortality takes place, and I'm not making any predictions.)
So I'm buckled up for a rocky ride because, as Jerry said, he's not selling the team. No way, no how, no shape, no form, no fashion.
