The Jerry Jones era of the Dallas Cowboys started with a bang.
After a 1-15 disaster in 1989 in Jones' first year as the owner and de facto general manager, the Cowboys added Emmitt Smith to a young offensive core that already featured Troy Aikman and Michael Irvin. The rest was history.
The Cowboys improved to 7-9 the following season, then made the playoffs at 11-5 in 1991. Over the next four seasons, the Cowboys won three Super Bowls, and "America's Team" was back.
The team's roster and culture was built under the watch of Hall of Fame head coach Jimmy Johnson, who claimed two of those Super Bowl titles before his and Jones' relationship became untenable.
