Jerry Jones Should Sell 'Poorly-Run' Cowboys, Says Terrell Owens
FRISCO - Terrell Owens may not be the most stable judge of how to run an NFL franchise, let alone an NFL life. But the Dallas Cowboys' most recent playoff failure is bringing out the "critic'' and the "expert'' in everybody ...
So along comes the standout-but-controversial former Cowboys receiver, bolstered by his Hall of Fame career, with a "hot take'' on Jerry Jones and "America's Team.''
T.O. is calling for "change'' at the top at The Star. As is, not only a new GM (which is doable in theory) but also ... a new owner?
Owens believes that after three straight 12-5 seasons followed by playoff losses that changes needed to be made, "probably starting with the owner and maybe the GM,'' he said in an appearance on 95.7 The Game's The Morning Roast.
"With the Cowboys, honestly, I kind of expected that and that's just me being honest," Owens said following the playoff blowout at the hands of the Green Bay Packers.
Most people, of course, anticipated a Dallas win - thus the status as seven-point favorites. And the Cowboys themselves considered this a Super Bowl-worthy roster.
But Owens is joining many fans who think that Jones - as the one constant in 28 years of the team failing to return to its Super Bowl glory of the 1990's - is "the'' problem.
Owens indicates that he believes the Cowboys won't win as long as Jones is making personnel decisions; of course, as most Cowboys fans so, this is a semi-uniformed opinion; from inside The Star, we can tell you that Jerry, 81, doesn't really run the personnel department in a hands-on manner.
Jones could in theory remove himself from holding the title of GM. The only way he could pacify Owens' other urging, of course, would be to sell the Cowboys.
Do not hold your breath.
Nevertheless, Owens is not alone in his fan-like opinion - even though he's claiming that his view is much more educated than that - that "it's Jerry's fault.''
"I kind of take myself out of being a fan, I try and take myself out of the biases,'' he said. "But that organization is just not really run well."
