What will Stephen (and his siblings) actually do once Jerry's gone?

[MikeT22]

Jerry is so hellbent on not hiring a top notch HC and not allowing him to have the necessary authority and command.

Stephen is a cheap doofus, but dont think he will be would feel threatened by a strong HC like daddy does. Problem is he is so cheap he probably wouldnt want to pay what it takes to get one.

Same results with more boredom

You better hope Jerry relinquishes control when he starts losing it mentally. He might get angry and continue to make more bad decisions. This could go on for 10 + more years.

same ole same ole

I see no indication Stephen Jones is more intelligent or wiser than his father. There is not any reason to believe he will take a less co-ownership role in the post-Jerry Jones era, since his siblings have not demonstrated the same level of 'dedication' as him.

It would be prudent for Stephen to not follow his father's footsteps and relinquish all general manager responsibilities. His father and he have never been qualified for the position. Hopefully, Stephen will come to that realization when time demands it.

I agree Stephen isn't any smarter than Jerry, but he doesn't seem to be an egomaniac like his father. The organization should have a less of a circus atmosphere under Stephen.

Details...Details....Don't leave us all swinging in the wind......Maybe "some" could get them to tell daddy to give up the GM spot...wink....wink....

Hmmmm....I'll give you a hint....short haired gal who flew a helicopter in the 1993 Thriller movie Cliffhanger.

Whether it's senility or father time that eventually removes Jerry from his role as GM, I know I've personally feared the idea of Stephen inheriting the team because he seems to be the primary decision maker in terms of how cheap the team is in free agency ("we like our guys", etc.). I used to dread Jerry going to that big bottle of Johnny Walker Blue in the sky because I thought Stephen could be even worse, but should it be such a foregone conclusion that he will do what his dad did and make himself GM? Is there a chance that Stephen sees all of the vitriol his dad and family are getting these days and decide to become the more traditional owner that we all wish Jerry was, and hire an actual GM? I'm curious if Stephen has ever given any indication what he will do? Will he even become the outright owner of the team, or will it be split between the 3 ("legitimate") kids? Anyone know?

Accept opening bids!!!!

I'm not worried about what Stephen will do after Jerry is gone. Frankly, I'm more concerned about the guy on here that calls himself " fan of jerry". How the hell will he cope?

 

[LonnieElam]

Charlotte and Stephen will have a legal battle over ownership. Jerry Jr will just sit back and do whatever the hell he does.

 

[JayFord]

You see it now

Stephen’s fingerprints are all on this team by being cheap

Hopefully sell the team.

Hire a real GM.

Along with a President and a CEO.

 

[MS17]

Or we can hope for a quicker solution...like Jerruh arrives at his executive suite one a.m. and his Secretary says, "Mr. Jones, a gentleman named Elon Musk called earlier. He'd like you to call him."
"Any idea what he wants?" Jerruh says.
"He just said he wants to know how much you want for the Cowboys," she answers.
Boom. Problem solved.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Hire a real GM.

You can't even define 'real GM.'
I'm sure you can cherry pick a few names and say they are 'real GMs.'

 

[pitt33]

I'm sure there will be a monument

Yes. They will replace Landry with Jerry.

He is way too cheap though. Hoping the family steps aside when Jerry passes.

I remember reading several years ago that Stephen said he would hire a GM,
Once he was in charge.
Sorry I can't give a reference.

What is that?

Mourn for the appropriate amount of time.

There is no way these siblings keep it together and in harmony as family and $ is like oil and water when there isn't a King (Jerry) on the throne.
They will sell the Cowboys within 3 years of Jerry's death.
