"In Wednesday's postmortem press conference for the Dallas Cowboys' 2025 season, Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones, and Brian Schottenheimer covered a lot of topics. One of the biggest sound bites from the media session was Jerry's expressed goal of finishing his ownership run with the most Super Bowls in NFL history. While highly unrealistic at this point, the brazen statement also reflected just how misguided Jones's effort to achieve that feat is, and how little he even understands his own motivation."
"In the very same press conference, though, Jerry displayed some of the very things that have prevented him from building on that early success. When asked if Brian Schottenheimer would be allowed to choose the next defensive coordinator, Jones made clear that he was the final arbiter of that decision. He quickly threw in that Schottenheimer would be heavily involved in the process, and that he was in on the hiring decision of Matt Eberflus as well."
Jerry Jones declared a goal of finishing his ownership with the most Super Bowl victories among NFL owners. Bob Kraft currently holds six championships while Jones owns three from the 1990s, so Jones would need four more titles to surpass Kraft. The goal reads as hyperbolic and unrealistic given the gap and recent team struggles. Jones emphasized involvement in personnel decisions and asserted final say over hires while saying Brian Schottenheimer would be heavily involved. Jones' territorial approach and desire for primary credit are presented as recurring obstacles to building on earlier championship success.
