Despite a 28-year drought, the Cowboys' owner/general manager remains confident he can return Dallas to Super Bowl aspirations.
The general manager of the Dallas Cowboys closed a major deal this week. To pull it off, he spent a bunch of the owner’s money. And there’s at least a chance that in a couple of years, the owner will wish he hadn’t. But even if the whole thing blows up in the general manager’s face, just as so many of his other decisions have? He needn’t worry about losing his job. He’s never, ever going to get fired. We know this because the owner said so.
The best Spurs coverage in Alamo City, delivered to your inbox Way back in 1996, before most people even owned a dial-up modem, newspaper reporters figured they had more job security than any NFL executive did. Now Jones, with bravado and self-assurance unchanged from the pre-digital age, has outlasted almost all of those ink-stained wretches. Even though his teams have had a rougher three decades than theirs have. OK, so maybe fewer people subscribe than in the glory days.
Finger: In college football, some questions are inescapable After getting embarrassed by Green Bay in the playoffs last winter, the Cowboys’ general manager responded this offseason by doing basically nothing. Dallas lost loads of experience on the offensive line and is asking rookies to replace it. Two years after acknowledging that Ezekiel Elliott’s best days were behind him, the Cowboys are asking him to lead their running game. The defense might be in a world of trouble.
