I'm not much of an NFL fan so someone please enlighten me. I constantly see people say that Jerry Jones is the problem. I know he's the owner and is far more involved in the organization than any other owner, but what exactly is he/does he do wrong?

Does he make decisions on who they will draft? Does he make roster decisions? I guess I'm not familiar enough with how NFL teams are run to know what exactly he's doing to be the root cause of their issues. Like, what would getting a new owner do to make the cowboys better?

He is the definition of a micromanager.

Jerry has always been a great businessman, he turned the cowboys into the number one franchise in the NFL in a matter of 5 years. He however is about as bad of a GM as one can be after having won 3 Superbowls.

As GM he is responsible for all coaching personnel and player personnel.

This means he hires the assistant coaches, Head coach typically has little input. He drafts the players, head coach has more involvement as far as they can say how they would fit in their system, but it is always Jerry who pulls the trigger.

In the past Jerry has shown some flexibility allowing head coaches hire their own assistants, bring in their own players (mostly this was just Bill Parcells), but this is few and far between.
