Bad news for Dallas Cowboys fans who think that Jerry Jones’s personnel moves are holding the team back: he won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
Jones spoke to Peter King of MMQB at least week’s NFL owners’ meetings and said that while there is a succession plan in place, the Cowboys owner doesn’t intend to quit at any point in the near future.
“My succession plan has been in place almost from the first interview we had,” Jones told King. “I don’t ever want to quit, I just don’t want to quit. In this case, familiarity hasn’t bred contempt; it has bred optimism. I’m not quitting.”
No surprise here. First, Jones already has his quarterback planned out long-term. Second, he absolutely loves the Cowboys and loves the game of football, and he’s going to be involved as long as he is physically able. Plus, both of Jones’s sons as well as his daughter have significant roles within the organization. The Jones family isn’t going anywhere even when Jerry does, but it seems as though he’ll be running the team for years to come.
