Jerry Jones will be the Cowboys GM as long as he’s alive.
Jerry Jones isn't going anywhere. During a recent interview with longtime Dallas Cowboys beat writer Clarence Hill Jr. Jones made it painfully clear that he would remain the team's general manager for the foreseeable future and has absolutely no plans of stepping down to let someone else run the team.“I’ve done it all. So I have an ordinate amount of confidence that f---, if anybody can figure out how to get this s--- done, I can figure out how to get it done,” Jones said.
“The reason I don’t let somebody else be the GM is because I don’t have anybody that I will let do it to actually do it right. And they’re gonna have to come to me and because I know where it is that you’re going to pay for it.” Jones insisted that he has "great confidence" in his children, but they will only be taking over if he gets hit by a car. No, really. He said he had confidence getting the job done "If I get hit by a car out here tonight."
So as long as Jerry Jones is still breathing, he's going to be the one at the negotiation table. If that means doing a deal with Prescott or Lamb's replacement well, they won't be the first players he's outlasted in Dallas.Stephen Douglas is a Senior Writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
