How Did It All Start?
J
erry Jones was born in Los Angeles and raised in Arkansas, North Little Rock. He finished University of Arkansas, and while on a college he was a successful football player himself.
After he finished college in 1965, he started working in Modern Security Life in Springfield, Missouri as an executive vice president. This was his dad’s company, so this is a reason for such a high position. He continued education as well, and in 1970, he received master’s title in business. He also tried out independent business ventures that were not successful at first, but he managed to achieve quite a lot of success with gas and exploration business in Arkansas.
With net worth of Jerry Jones acquired in this business, he bought Dallas Cowboys, and this is when his stellar success began.
It must be noted that Jerry Jones is not liked by many football fans that have a lot of criticism for successful club owner, despite the fact that he has evidently made this club a huge success. They don’t like the fact that he fired very much loved coach Tom Landry. They don’t like the fact that Jerry Jones is very present in media and has high media profile, very much unlike previous owner who didn’t like limelight.
When Jerry Jones started his path as a club owner, Dallas Cowboys were one of the best paid players in the entire NFL, which was a reason for critics to complain on his managerial skills, saying that he wasn’t a good manager but a good payee instead. When later on NFL changed rules about maximum payment for players, additionally regulating payments for revenues, this has limited possibility for any club to have significantly better paychecks than other. Dallas Cowboys haven’t since been very successful in their games, so critics may have had a point in this one.
Jery Jones was fined several times by the NFL for his public criticism of judges and commissioners.
