Stephen Jones' bio on the official website.

[big dog cowboy]

Back several years ago, Stephen Jones said in an interview on a radio show that he wasn't going to go his father's route when/if he took over the team. He said that he would hire a GM rather than try to do it himself.

Ah memories.

The tide has turned on Stephen. It was only a few years ago that he was everyone's savior in waiting. Now people are ready to flush him right along with Jerry.

I'd like to think I had a hand in that. If not, humor me.

As an aside, I think I have enough likes to get what I want. If somebody could point me in the direction of the CowboysZone gift shop.

The CowboysZone gift shop has a book that I think you should get.

“A guide to being a successful GM in the NFL“ by Jerry Jones.

It’s a bestseller.

They could edit that down to: "Son of Jerry."

Or…Son of Jerry so, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah!

This gave me a good chuckle.

With 19 years of NFL experience, Stephen Jones has established himself as one of the brightest and most versatile young executives in professional sports. Recognized as Owner Jerry Jones's right-hand man, Stephen is currently the Cowboys Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President, and Director of Player Personnel as well as President of AT&T Stadium.

Jones was the key negotiator in the work that brought All-Pro wide receiver Terrell Owens to the Cowboys in March of 2006. He also took the lead in negotiating the contracts for other recent free agents such as offensive linemen Leonard Davis and Kyle Kosier and safety Ken Hamlin.

Over a one week span in the spring of 2005, Jones was instrumental in the distribution of $30 million in signing bonus money to quarterback Drew Bledsoe, defensive tackle Jason Ferguson, cornerback Anthony Henry and guard Marco Rivera. The signing of Ferguson, Henry and Rivera all took place in one day, March 3, the biggest signing day in club history.

Damn. In some countries, all these activities by one man would be met with a people's court, self-criticizm and then execution.
here, we just promote and give a bonus.

Here's the strange thing and something I cant grasp when it comes to Jerry. So, he has an ego. He wants to be liked. He wants people to admire the work he does. Etc Etc. If he would just step aside and be an owner (along with his son) and put a football guy in charge- fans would love him. The Jones boys could do the marketing, promotions, financial stuff (not contracts) and run the operations. Just leaving any football decisions to the guy he puts in charge.

If he did this, the fans would love him. They would admire him as an owner. He would be looked at as one of the best owners in pro sports. He could still make his late-game visit to the sideline. He would be looked up to as a great owner and certainly a plus to the organization. All he has to do is keep the Jones family away from football decisions. And he'd be a hero in the sports world.

All completely true. But that's not what Jerry wants. He wants to prove those Superbowls were his, not Jimmy's.

My Daddy owns the team and Momma would divorce him if he didn't give me a job.

Bingo. he's is just a younger version of his father.he has been a part of 1 playoff win in 17 years.he's part of the problem.

Because he wants to be respected as a "football guy". But what he FAILS to grasp...is that IF we ever win again with him at the helm...he STILL would not be respected as a "football guy" It would be considered dumb luck!

I used to have highe hopes Stephen Jones, I remember him saying he would hire a real GM to run the team when "daddy" moved on. Now when I look at him and "daddy", I just see Boss Hog and Jr. SMH
