"We literally hate you Jerry", "This mothef*****r does not live in reality man" - Cowboys fans slam Jerry Jones for latest comments about team's structure

Dallas Cowboys v New York Giants
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones

Jerry Jones has built a reputation for being one of the most polarizing owners in the NFL during his long run with the Dallas Cowboys. He has a bold and outspoken personality, which has often led to many around the league feeling either one extreme or the other about him. For the most part, fans either love Jerry Jones or hate him.

During his usual radio appearance on 105.3 The FAN, Jerry Jones spoke about the chain of command within the Cowboys organization. He explained that he believes the Cowboys have somewhat of an advantage over other teams because he serves as the general manager in addition to being the owner. This cuts out one link in the chain that every other team has.

Jones is the only owner in the NFL who has not hired a general manager to help run the team, instead opting to take over the duties himself. He also mentioned that he would sometimes talk to players about situations relating to the team without the head coach knowing about it.

Jerry Jones said:

Jones' comments have outraged many Cowboys fans as they believe what he is doing is destructive to the team. Many fans went on Twitter to criticize the owner for his unconventional approach, including some of these top comments:

The Dallas Cowboys' Super Bowl drought under Jerry Jones

Jerry Jones purchased the Dallas Cowboys franchise in 1989 and almost immediately went to work on overhauling the staff and the roster of players. He had a controversial run from the start, firing Cowboys legend Tom Landry and trading away Herschel Walker, one of the best running backs in the NFL.

While the plan was surely extreme, Jones looked like a bit of a genius in the end, building one of the greatest dynasties in NFL history. He used the additional draft picks to build a stacked roster. The squad included Hall of Famers Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin, and won three Super Bowl rings during the 1990s.

For all of the early success Jones had running the Cowboys, the team has been unable to get back to their glory days of the 1990s. They have been unable to appear in a Super Bowl since 1995, let alone win another ring, creating a drought nearly three decades long. Jones proved early on that he's capable of building a championship team, but it's been a while since his methods have paid off.
