Jones broke into the league by firing an NFL coaching icon in Tom Landry and replacing him with a college coach. Jimmy Johnson was a successful college coach, but that rarely translated into being a successful NFL coach in the late ’80s and early ’90s.

On-field success matters, but so does off-field success—and that’s a competition Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is clearly winning.

Sanders confirmed that he spoke with Jones last week after reports surfaced connecting him to the Cowboys job.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is getting called out for his handling of Mike McCarthy and the team's head coaching search.
