Prior to the draft, Michael Irvin knew that Texas Oil Mogul Jerry Jones would bid up to and take over the Dallas Cowboys franchise.

He mentions, “[Jimmy Johnson] said, ‘I’m telling you right now because I’ve got an oil buddy friend of mine who’s about to buy the Dallas Cowboys.’ I’ll be joining you next year. I knew he was coming, and Jerry bought the team the next year and brought in Jimmy.”

How effective was Jerry Jones for the Dallas Cowboys?

Jerry Jones took over the Dallas Cowboys in 1989, and the rest is history. His ability to turn a $140 million investment in a losing side in 1989 into a much more valuable company in sports propelled him out from the oil sector and into a presidential suite in one of America’s swankiest teams. According to Forbes, their valuation is around $6 billion.

At the beginning of his tenancy, Jerry Jones lorded over 3 Super Bowl victories, although they were teams mostly assembled by Jimmy Johnson. It derailed the Dallas Cowboys’ season when they let him go, but they never came close to getting the Super Bowl. Their judgment call was highly dubious. Although this year looks promising, something huge can transpire in the upcoming season.
