In reality Jerry is head coach and Jason is his head assistant. Until Jerry quits trying to coach the team, it won't matter who he hires. His ego is too big to allow a good coach to come in long term and run it the new coach's way. Jerry wants the credit instead of sitting back like most owners not named Danny Snyder and let the football people do what is best. The most valuable franchise on earth, and they can't win diddly squat.
Even as a die-hard Cowboys fan, I could not agree with this more. Watch any NFL game and count how many times the camera focuses on the owner of the team. Then watch a Cowboys game. Get a first down? There's Jerry. Block a pass? Jerry. Garret claps and smiles? JerryCam! Touchdown? Wait for the next play, we gotta catch Jerry high-fiving his son/grandson/wife/nephew/cousin in the JerryBox!
I guarantee that Jerry is the only owner in the NFL that every other fanbase can identify by name and/or by sight. Maybe, like you mentioned, Dan Snyder, and for exactly the same reason: ego brought on by money.
We should invent a drinking game where every time they show the owner of an NFL team on screen, everyone has to take a shot. Anyone watching a Dallas game would die of alcohol poisoning before the first half.
