Jerry Jones Jones in 2015 Jerral Wayne Jones ( 1942 - 10 - 13 ) October 13, 1942 ( age 75 ) Los Angeles, California, U.S. Occupation Owner / President / General Manager, Dallas Cowboys Net worth US $5.2 billion ( October 2016 ) Spouse ( s ) Eugenia Jones Children Jerral Wayne Jones ( born October 13, 1942 ) is an American businessman, best known for being owner of the National Football League ( NFL ) 's Dallas Cowboys since 1989. Contents 1 Early life 1.1 College football career 2 Dallas Cowboys 2.1 Criticism 2.2 NFL fines 3 Jones in popular culture 4 Awards and honors 5 Personal life 6 References 7 External links Early Life Jones was born in Los Angeles, California. His family moved to North Little Rock, Arkansas in 1945. Jones ' father J.W. `` Pat '' Jones ( 1920 - 1997 ) and mother Armenita Pearl Clark Jones ( 1922 - 2012 ) married in 1941. They owned two branches of Pat 's Super Market in the Rose City neighborhood of North Little Rock. Jones was a running back at North Little Rock High School, graduating in 1960. After his graduation, his parents moved to Springfield, Missouri, where Pat was president and chairman of Modern Security Life Insurance Co. The company, which an advertisement billed as a `` one in a million '' company, saw its assets increase from $440,299.76 in its first statement in 1961 to $6,230,607 in 1965. After graduating from the University of Arkansas, Jerral W. Jones was listed as an executive vice president. With the success of the company the couple assembled the 5,500 acre Buena Vista Ranch east of Springfield in Rogersville, Missouri in the Ozark Mountains. In 1971 after selling the insurance company, the couple carved out 400 acres of their ranch to start Buena Vista Animal Paradise, where tourists could visit exotic animals ( now Wild Animal Safari in Strafford, Missouri, just south of Interstate 44 ). College Football career He attended college at the University of Arkansas, where he was a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. He was also a co-captain of the 1964 National Championship football team. He was an all - Southwest Conference offensive lineman for Hall of Fame coach Frank Broyles and a teammate of Jimmy Johnson. Other notable teammates were Glen Ray Hines, a consensus All - American offensive tackle, Ken Hatfield, Jim Lindsey, and future Outland Trophy winner Loyd Phillips. Several future head coaches were assistant coaches for Frank Broyles and the Razorbacks during his college career in Fayetteville including Hayden Fry, future head coach at the University of Iowa, Johnny Majors, future head coach at Iowa State University, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Tennessee, and Barry Switzer, Hall of Fame coach of the University of Oklahoma. Jones is one of a very small number of NFL owners who had a significant level of success as a football player, Jerry Richardson of the Carolina Panthers being another. According to an interview with Eaglesnation on HBO, after graduating from college in 1965, he borrowed a million dollars from Jimmy Hoffa 's Teamsters union to open up a string of Shakey 's Pizza Parlor restaurants in Missouri. Jones said he offered $5.8 million to buy the San Diego Chargers in 1966 from Barron Hilton using money that had been pledged to the pizza restaurant. However his father disapproved and deal fell through. He earned his master 's degree in business in 1970. After several other unsuccessful business ventures ( including an attempt, again using Teamsters money, to purchase the American Football League 's San Diego Chargers in 1967 ), he began an oil and gas exploration business in Arkansas, Jones Oil and Land Lease, which became successful. Dallas Cowboys Jerry Jones Dallas Cowboys Position : Owner / President / General Manager Career information High school : North Little Rock ( AR ) College : Arkansas Undrafted : 1965 Career history As executive : Dallas Cowboys ( 1989 -- present ) ( Owner / GM / Team Pres. ) Career highlights and awards 3 × Super Bowl champion ( XXVII, XXVIII, XXX ) 2014 NFL Executive of the Year 1964 FWAA National Championship Pro Football Hall of Fame On February 25, 1989, Jones purchased the Cowboys from H.R. `` Bum '' Bright for $140 million. Soon after the purchase, he fired longtime coach Tom Landry, to that point the only coach in the team 's history, in favor of his old teammate at Arkansas, Jimmy Johnson. A few months later, he fired longtime general manager Tex Schramm, and assumed complete control over football matters. After a slow start under Jones and Johnson ( the first season under Jones, a 1 -- 15 finish, remains second only to the team 's inaugural season in terms of futility ), Jones quickly built a team that is often reckoned to be the best NFL franchise of the 1990s. The Cowboys won Super Bowl XXVII in the 1992 season, as well as Super Bowl XXVIII the following year in the 1993 season. Johnson then departed and was replaced by Barry Switzer, who also went on to win Super Bowl XXX in the 1995 season. At the time of the sale, the financially troubled Bright claimed to be losing $1 million per month on the franchise. During Jones ' tenure, the Cowboys have appreciated in value to an estimated $4.2 billion, turning their owner into a billionaire in the process. Much of the league 's financial success since 1989 has been credited to Jones himself. In particular, he was decisive in securing Fox as the NFC 's primary broadcaster at a time when the traditional `` Big Three '' networks were trying to convince the league into accepting a rollback in television rights fees. Increased television revenues have played a decisive role in securing the NFL 's place as the world 's richest sports league, with revenues of well over $10 billion per season. The 2018 NFL season will be Jones ' 30th as Cowboys owner - more than the number of seasons as the combined tenures of his predecessors. Criticism GULFSTREAM G-V N1DC Dallas Cowboys owners personal plane at VNY In an online poll from October 8, 2003, Jones was named the least favorite sports personality by Sports Illustrated, in three states ( Virginia, Delaware and Texas ). He is often vilified by fans who remain bitter at Jones ' unceremonious firing of fan - favorite Tom Landry. It would later emerge that Jones ' predecessor Bright had been dissatisfied with Landry for years and had even offered to relieve Jones of the inevitable criticism by dismissing the longtime coach himself prior to selling the team. Some of the fan criticism is due to Jones ' high visibility and involvement as the `` face of the team '', a marked contrast to original owner Clint Murchison Jr. Jones ' prominent role has led to fans expressing their displeasure with Jones and the lack of success of the franchise, with particular criticism focusing on Jones ' insistence on serving as his own general manager. Jones is one of two owners in the league ( the other being Cincinnati 's Mike Brown ) who have either the title or powers of general manager. Over the years of Jones 's tenure, Cowboys fans have organized a number of grassroots efforts aimed at displacing Jones from his position. Jones is the subject of the 2008 book Playing to Win by David Magee. In the book, Jones admitted he handled the firing of Landry poorly and accepted some blame for the disintegration of his relationship with Landry 's successor, Jimmy Johnson. Jones became involved in the St. Louis Rams move back to Los Angeles with Stan Kroenke in 2016. He was instrumental in brokering a deal between Kroenke, San Diego Chargers owner Dean Spanos, and Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis to ensure that Kroenke 's Inglewood Stadium plan passed, which it did, via a 30 - 2 owners vote in favor. Jones ' support and role in the negotiations has been criticized by some fans and sports media in St. Louis. The NFL 's implementation of a hard salary cap in 1994, combined with the implementation of a hard salary floor and consistently increasing television revenues have eliminated the ability of any NFL team to significantly outspend its rivals. The Cowboys went 8 -- 8 in 2011 -- 13, losing the NFC East title in Week 17 each season to a different divisional opponent. In recent seasons, Jones ' managerial ways appear to have adapted to a more conventional NFL salary cap - era style, which has earned complimentary coverage from some NFL pundits. In 2014, the Cowboys won the NFC East for the first time in five years after key drafts and free agent signings. However, the Cowboys slumped to a 4 -- 12 record in 2015 with quarterback Tony Romo missing most of the season with a broken collarbone. Following the replacement of the then - injured Romo as starter with unheralded rookie backup Dak Prescott, the Cowboys were successful in 2016, winning a franchise - record eleven consecutive games after losing their season opener. The Cowboys finished 13 -- 3 and first overall in the NFC, only to lose on the last play in the divisional playoff round to the Green Bay Packers. NFL fines Jones was fined $25,000 by the NFL for publicly criticizing referee Ed Hochuli after Hochuli made a controversial call in a game between the San Diego Chargers and the Denver Broncos on September 14, 2008. Jones made comments both to the press and on his radio show, saying Hochuli was one of the most criticized officials in the NFL. This was Jones ' first fine by the NFL. In 2009, Jones was fined $100,000 for violating a gag order on labor issues, commenting that revenue sharing was `` on its way out ''. Commissioner Roger Goodell had issued a gag order for all owners and team executives from discussing any aspect of the pending labor issues. Jones `` crossed the line '', drawing a `` six - figure '' fine, sources said, as the commissioner distributed a memo to all 32 owners, along with a reminder that the gag order remains in effect. Goodell did not disclose the specific amount of Jones ' fine in the memo. Jones in popular culture Jones was the inspiration for the character Baxter Cain ( Robert Vaughn ), owner of the Dallas Felons, in the 1998 film BASEketball. He had a brief cameo appearance as himself in the 1998 made - for - television reunion movie Dallas : War of the Ewings. Jones also appeared as himself in a 1996 episode of the TV show Coach and in a 2007 television commercial for Diet Pepsi MAX, which also featured then Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips and quarterback Tony Romo. He appeared as himself in the seventh season of the HBO series Entourage in 2010, in an episode of the TNT incarnation of Dallas titled `` Truth and Consequences '', which aired on July 4, 2012, in a series of commercials for the 2012 season of ESPN 's Monday Night Football, and in the season 4 premiere of The League. In 2013, Jones narrated a documentary film on former teammate and business partner Jim Lindsey. Jones also appears in a 2013 Pepsi commercial, walking into an elevator filled with three men wearing New York Giants apparel, who look at him with discontent. He appeared on the first episode, `` Go Fund Yourself '', of the eighteenth season of South Park, along with several other NFL team owners. In one scene, Jones is depicted as having huge, bulging chameleon - like eyes, as a young woman 's head pops up from his lap. He reappears in the season 21 episode `` Moss Piglets.
