Jerry Jones is still in the big chair at 83 years old, but not everyone wants that sort of longevity.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has been in the big chair for decades, and one thing we know about Jerry is that he won't be relinquishing that anytime soon.
Cowboys Nation has pleaded for years for Jerry to step down and allow a so-called "real general manager'' to run the team at The Star.
Plus, many want him to be like other NFL owners, such as the Hunt family, who own the Kansas City Chiefs. Relatively speaking? They are in the background. And we rarely hear from them on football matters, especially not on a weekly basis.
But we know Jerry, 83, is a little different.
He will be in his current role until he is mentally or physically unable to do it.
And for some, that is admirable that Mr. Jones wants both hands on the wheel of an NFL team for as long as he has.
But for others like Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, who stated that he won't be handing the team down to his family, he doesn't want to be in Jerry's shoes when he's in his 80s.
“I’ve seen families feud and get ruined over these damn teams," Bisciotti said. “When I see Jerry talking about what part of his anatomy he’d give up for a Super Bowl at 83 years old, I don’t want to be there.”
So, Bisciotti, 65, doesn't have that same ambition. ... although he did state that in an ideal world, he would win another Super Bowl or two in the next 10 years and ride off into the sunset.
Could Jerry do the same?
Possibly. But we know Jerry's Super Bowl "window" is far smaller than Bisciotti's.
The idea is that once Jerry is no longer the owner, it will be passed down to Stephen and Charlotte and Jerry Jr., and so on and so forth, so the Cowboys will likely remain in the Jones family for however many years.
There will be no Bisciotti-like transfer, and in truth, most of us knew that was never going to be something Jerry would do anyway.
To Jones supporters? Maybe it does show the hunger Jerry has for his football team, and not to say that Bisciotti doesn't, but Jerry wants to be involved at the highest level possible.
Bisciotti ... not so much. He wants to win his Super Bowl and then enjoy time with his family - as opposed to Jerry, who wants to win Super Bowls with his family.
