COWBOYS
What’s the Dallas Cowboy’s record with Jerry Jones as owner? How many Super Bowls since 1989
It’s been 35 years since Jerry Jones took over as owner of the Cowboys and though it’s been a while, there were some glory days back in the early years.
Jerry Jones bought the Dallas Cowboys in 1989 for $140 million, taking over as the owner for H.R. “Bum” Bright. He immediately took the team through some major changes, including at the head coach position. While upsetting at the time, hiring Jimmy Johnson proved not to be such a bad decision, as those were the years the Cowboys saw most of their luck turn positive.
Dallas Cowboys’ record under Jerry Jones
As we’re all well-aware, it’s been quite a while since the Dallas Cowboys have seen postseason success. Despite years of regular season success, including three consecutive 12-5 seasons in the last years, the Cowboys have not won a Super Bowl since 1996.
Under Jerry Jones, the Cowboys’ record is 312-252. Since he’s been the owner, the Cowboys have won three Super Bowls, in 1993, 1994, and 1996. Jones saw the most success in his first decade with the team, with the Cowboys making seven playoff appearances, six division titles, four conference championship games, and the first team to win three Super Bowls in four years.
Unfortunately, since then, the Cowboys have seen no postseason success. In the playoffs, the Cowboys are 16-15 under Jones. It has been nearly three decades since they even won an NFC Championship game, let alone a Super Bowl. What Jerry has done is create a $9 billion brand out of the Cowboys, and he’s had unquestionable success in that regard. But at the end of the day, this is a football team, and winning is the whole point. And for most fans, the success of the ‘90s doesn’t make up for the embarrassment and disappointment they’ve suffered for the last 28 years.
