Would the Cowboys have benefited from another owner buying the team in 1989?

Given Jerry Jones’ proclivity in meddling with the franchise, does another owner prevent 25+ years of mediocrity (even though the first seven years had a dynasty)?

Jerry is a great owner & businessman. His problem is he should have hired a separate GM to handle all personnel decisions with the team & been hands off & let the GM do their thing. His ego won't let him do any of this. Any Cowgirl fan will tell you this.

I don't think you can name an owner that built up a brand like Jerry Jones has with the Cowboys. The guy has been a business and marketing genius on that front. But, he needs to let a GM start handling player and coach personnel. He's definitely slipped over the years in that respect.

He is the greatest thing for the Cowboys, ultimately gets in his own way.

Deep down like Al Davis for example Jerry wants to be the Head Coach and GM. It doesn't work.

I don’t understand why so many coaches want to be GM’s/player personnel directors too. Same with owners.
It’s a full time job to scout and evaluate hundreds/ of collegiate and professional players every year, to keep track of contracts of not just your team but every player in the league, and to manage your salary cap.
Has it not been proven that the most sustained success occurs when a HC is not the GM, but works extremely closely together to lay out exactly what the team needs to run the scheme the HC desires?

At the end of the day, it's a business and he's done a damn good job of building the cowboys brand. It's hard to say many could have done better. He also has Superbowls, so it's not like it's been all bad and they've had solid teams recently, regardless of their playoff struggles.

Jerry Jones bought the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Stadium for $150 million in February 1989. The team is currently valued between $8-9 billion.

I think that since he bought the team for 150 million and it's now worth 7.64 billion, they won 3 Super Bowls and are in the playoffs regularly they are doing OK. His problem is that he is too involved in roster of the team, who stays, who goes. Now he owns the team and pays for everything and all of the contracts so it's his choice, he can do what he wants but until he relinquishes the overall say in who stays and goes, they will not win another Super Bowl.

Lol...The Cowboys are the most valuable franchise

I see all these GM comments 
The cowboys have a damn good roster and have drafted well the past few years.

No. 3 Super Bowl wins since 1989 is still better than the vast majority of the league.

yes, obviously this is a proven fact.
jerry is a master at marketing his team and that is undeniable.
his only negative is, and its a big one, he is a complete imbecile when it comes to personnel decisions, coaching hires, and contracts.
he got lucky with the JJ hire, thats the only time he didnt make a bad decision hiring a coach.

The premise that there is something fundamentally wrong with Jerry Jones’s business is misguided to say the least. Jerry Jones is killing it.
Posted on 2/21/24 at 8:47 pm to Wally Sparks
I dunno. He made the nut cutting decisions that needed to be made but then it went to his head.
Posted on 2/21/24 at 10:19 pm to Wally Sparks
real talk, the Cowboys actually have a solid roster. Just can’t get over the hump for whatever reason.
Posted on 2/21/24 at 11:24 pm to Wally Sparks
it depends on what you mean by benefit. professional sports is a business, and there’s 4 cowboy related threads on the first 2 pages of this board at the end of February
none of which were started by cowboy fans

Owner Jerry is really great at what he does. It’s the gm part that’s the problem.
