The only hope I have

The only hope I have left is that my grandson who will be born in early October and raised to be a Cowboys fan will have the opportunity to see the Cowboys win a super bowl like I did.
There is a better than average chance he can outlive the Jones business model and team building of our beloved team.

We here on this board are just cheering for the laundry at this point are way too many Jones's in line to inherit this team that have been mentored in Jerry's business model that has proven after almost 3 decades we will never see another super bowl in our lifetime.

What are your thoughts anybody believe one of The offspring will sell the team at some point and give us a chance not that we'll be alive to see it.

But I do have hope for my grandson I think he has a chance

Great post,Im resigned to the fact that us fans from the 60s and 70s era Will never live long enough to see another SB championship.
 
I see the cowboys having a rough mediocre upcoming season in 2024 , despite an improved defense , but with the same mediocre QB and running game . a 9 or 10 win season at best. Unless they trade or draft a new dynamic coach and a top 5 QB, the 2025 season will be about the same
9-10 wins.
in 2026 after the world cup , jerry hangs his hat at 83 years old and hands it over to Stephen who basically knows what jerry knows. This results in more of the same , until stephen gets a bit tired and hires a GM in 2030.

He won’t and I really don’t know why anyone thinks things will be better with her. She would likely hire GM, but that doesn’t guarantee success. Or she might let someone in the family or relative run the team. A lot of Cowboys fans seem to think that if Jerry would just hire a GM it would assure another championship and it won’t.
 
Love to see all the dire predictions as that usually means a good year. I’m expecting another 12 win season and a deep run in the playoffs. Lots of careers are on the line this year for players and coaches. Time to roll! :starspin:

Maybe he'll grow up, be very successful and buy the team....he can then hire a true GM and cut Dak that would be about as old ad George Blanda was when he called it quits. Mountain and Pappy will be posting, I told you so!!

On a serious note! Congratulations gramps! I hope he gets to watch our next SB win while sitting on your lap!

Although not probable it’s possible. She’s highly respected around the league and doesn’t need the spotlight which means she’ll let people do their jobs..

Otherwise your grandson will be putting up with Spaulding.

Stephen will be here for years
 
I futilely hope that the rumors of a sale to rich Arabs is true. ANYBODY but the Jones family at this point.

To good to be true, though.

Our current model has guaranteed historic playoff failure since the late 1990s. I'm willing to take the chance on doing things the proven, time tested, normal way.

To date, the Joneses remind me somewhat of Sam Walton's family. The Walton patriarch grew his Walmart empire by placing the customer first. His children have not cared less about customers since his passing but has continued to grow his empire beyond maybe even his dreams.

Initially, the Joneses placed quality football management at the forefront then discarded that consideration after the franchise's return to NFL prominence. I believe the children will continue growing both the Cowboys brand and associated ventures. Whether the family will ever return to sound, fresh, quality football management is the real x-factor.

'Will the offspring ever sell?' is the missing variable. My answer is no. The family business is not solely football. The Dallas Cowboys are, literally, the most valuable sports franchise on the planet. To borrow the phrase, it is 'too big to fail.' And any net worth erosion will take decades.

Something other than the enormous wealth making machine would be necessary to persuade Jones' descendants to sell. That likelihood is miniscule. Future fans' best option (and hope) is for better competence in football management.
 
I am sure the whole inheritance tax matter has already been handled. Meaning as long the Jones family is reproducing they will be running the team. Why would anybody sell a business that prints a 400 million dollar profit annually while feeding massive egos? Bottom line: it doesnt look promising.

Only death and taxes are guaranteed. The Joneses aren’t going to make any drastic changes as long as they continue to win a lot of regular season games and make the playoffs. They’ll continue on the same path until it falls apart.

The Jones’ selling the team is our only hope. And that’ll never happen. So…..

Once a company goes public customer service is the first thing to die. Happens every time because the customer is no longer the main focus. The share holder is now the main focus.
 
Okay. These are desperate times. A Star Trek nerd MUST pull out the BIG guns for something like this...

"Help me us, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You are my our only hope."

That's where I draw the line. Not putting on the merry-go-round hair grills on the sides of my head. No way. No how. :mad:
 
My advice is steer him towards another team. Anything else is masochistic.
