A lot of people are comparing Cuban to Jerry. Unfortunately, there is a fair amount of truth to that. I don't think he is as bad, but they share many of the same leanings from a meddling standpoint. I would consider Jerry much less likely to give up power for the good of the org than Cuban. But I do remember a long time ago when the Cowboys were in complete disarray. We had several bad losing seasons in a row and Jerry fired the coach. In a completely surprising move, he brought in a very strong willed, high profile coach in Parcels. This was completely out of character as Parcels had a lot of control not just running the team, but also with personnel decisions. Parcels immediately turned a dumpster fire into a competitive team.
Now the two almost immediately started to but heads and the relationship only lasted a couple of years before Parcels bailed (aided by a Romo fumbled extra point). But the point is, if Jones can have a come to Jesus moment and go totally against his nature, maybe the shit show of the last week will be enough for Cuban to get serious and bring in somebody like Ujiri to run the show.
