JERRY Jones has owned the Dallas Cowboys for 36 years, but he’s also been serving in another role.
The Cowboys owner also serves as the team’s general manager, a role that he has been urged to let go of.

It’s no secret that the Cowboys have been in a Super Bowl drought, but the team has found it difficult to get out of it.
One of the biggest problems has been the construction of the team’s roster, which Jones is in charge of.
Jones is the longest-tenured general manager in the NFL, and in order for the Cowboys to compete he might need to give up that role.
However, he won’t let go of it easily.
He did recently admit that he has considered stepping down, but never for long.
“Yes, momentary,” Jones said at training camp.
“Small fractions of seconds, I promise you.”
One of the main reasons that Jones won’t give up the GM role is simple — he has fun doing it.
“I like it this way, and if you watch this (upcoming documentary on) Netflix, you’ll see I gave every frigging thing in my life and then exposed probably two or three times that to get to sit up here,” Jones said.
“Listen, listen, I haven’t worked in 35 years.
“I’ve had the damnedest run and the most fun that you could ever imagine.”
While Jones might be having fun, Cowboys fans aren’t.
They are currently watching Jones squabble with superstar defender Micah Parsons over a new contract.
At the moment, it looks like Parsons will request a trade instead of getting a new contract.
Fans are furious about this and are taking their frustration out on Jones.

“He’s not a serious GM and never has been. All Cowboy fans know this,” one fan said.
“He will never win anything,” another fan said.
“Jerry Jones is the biggest reason the Cowboys haven’t even made it out of the Divisional Round in the last 30 years,” a third fan said.
“Jerry and Stephen are so bad at this. We all know and have known it for a while,” a fourth fan said.
“Jerry Jones really knows how to mess a really good thing up,” a fifth fan said.
