The majority of sports franchises have owners that sit back and make decisions behind the scenes. They usually stay out of how the team is run, and simply put management in place.
The Dallas Cowboys are a different type of organization. Since current owner Jerry Jones bought the franchise back in 1989, he has had a major role in everything the team does, including becoming the GM only two months after buying the team.
Since that time, Dallas won three Super Bowls. The problem is the Cowboys haven’t had much success since their latest win in 1995.
