Jerry Jones does things his way — for better or worse. But he's not the only owner to take this tactic. George Halas and Al Davis can relate. http://dlvr.it/TMndF2

Fuel to consistently build mediocrity. I look at him now as caring only about the valuation of his franchise, not championships.

Halas and Davis were football legends for a reason. Jerry Jones backed into 3 SB's because Jimmy Johnson built a dynasty. Jones is not good at football

George Halas lived in a simpler time; the football industrial complex did not exist. Al Davis was successful early but failed in his last 8-10 years. Jones ran off Jimmy Johnson because he wanted credit and there has been a pox on his house ever since.

Al Davis was also a NFL coach prior to being an owner, so he actually had some idea of what he was doing.

It gives Jerry fuel to keep doing what exactly? His team is never a serious contender for a championship, so has that drive kept his team from being less than mediocre for 25+ years? Jimmy Johnson is the architect of the championship teams from 90's.

Says money is no object when it comes to building his dream stadium, but doesn’t think to orient it facing North/South, causing horrible shadows during virtually every day game. That’s Jerry Jones in a nutshell.

Explain Him Jim @explainhimjim.bsky.social

It’s about Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys owner, running his team with a unique, hands-on style. The post compares him to other iconic owners like George Halas and Al Davis, who also did things their own way, for better or worse.
