In the realm of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones reigns as the kingpin. Not only is he the team’s owner, but he also holds the reins as the head of football operations. It’s no wonder that a whopping 78 percent of respondents in a poll conducted by WFAA pointed the finger at Jones for the team’s lackluster 1-2 start to the season. When confronted about this on a recent radio appearance, Jones didn’t shy away from shouldering the blame.
“That’s very fair,” Jones admitted. “It’s well known that no decision is ultimately made without my approval. Whether it’s coaching decisions, player selections, or even stadium matters, everything falls under my purview. I have significant input in these decisions, and the Dallas Cowboys organization as a whole is influential in guiding me. When you look at the past few years, sure Kansas City has been dominant, but we’re right there in the mix. We’re in a bit of a rut now, but we’re working to break out of it.”
The pressure on Jones and the Cowboys will only escalate if they stumble against the Giants on Thursday night. Despite this, Jones refrained from labeling the upcoming game as a must-win, emphasizing that every game in an NFL season carries equal weight. He noted that a single game could serve as a turning point for a team, and the Cowboys are determined to right the ship after consecutive losses.
As the Cowboys navigate choppy waters, Jones remains at the helm, weathering the storm of criticism and expectations. The spotlight shines brightly on the team, with Jones standing front and center, ready to steer them towards calmer waters.
