Jerry Jones

As a Dallas Cowboys fan, I love Jerry Jones and think he is a wonderful owner.

However, Jones committed a sin as far as I am concerned at his last game on Christmas Eve.

Jones is known as someone who puts his hand in too many different places. He loves his team and is very involved, almost too involved.

Owners own, and can set culture, help run the business operations of a team, and set what kind of team they want to have on the field based on who they hire, and promote etc.

Owners need to let go of player decisions after they hire others to take care of player decisions.

During the middle of the game Jones went down to the sideline to talk to head coach Jason Garrett about not playing injured players since the Cowboys needed players to be healthy for their next game.

Talk about showing up your head coach. On National TV you leave your suite and run down on to the field to talk to your head coach and tell him what to do. How on earth is that not conveying the idea that you don't have full confidence in your head coach, or not conveying that you the owner is the person who is in charge of all decisions, including ones involving the game itself?

What head coach, or what employee would want their boss (who is unfamiliar with the job you do) to come to them during the middle of a project to tell them what to do?

The mayor shouldn't be coming to a fire to tell the fireman how to put out the fire.
