Per Dallas Cowboys vice-president Stephen Jones, their owner Jerry Jones isn't proud of his team's recent success. He told Jon Machota of the Dallas News that his father would prefer another Super Bowl before getting inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Cowboys VP Stephen Jones on @1053thefan strongly disagrees with the idea that Jerry Jones and the Cowboys are content with their recent results: "That's almost laughable if you know Jerry Jones. He'd give up the Hall of Fame in a second to have another Lombardi Trophy."

Jones has been the owner of the Cowboys since 1989. This year will mark the 30th anniversary since he bought the team from H.R. Bright for $140 million. Since then, the Cowboys have won three Super Bowl titles. The team is now worth over four billion dollars, per Forbes. Jones has turned the Cowboys into one of the NFL's elite and most successful franchises.
Over the past decade, the team has struggled to find themselves deep into the playoffs. Former quarterback Tony Romo put up some of the best regular season numbers from under center. He was so efficient and was one of the most clutch gunslingers in all of the league. However, the team collectively as a whole was never enough around Romo to win a Super Bowl, unfortunately.
Now, the Cowboys are riding their future on their young quarterback Dak Prescott. This past season he threw for 3,885 yards with 22 touchdowns and only eight interceptions. His completion rate sat at 67.7 percent, a career high, and his quarterback rating was a 58.6, the lowest of his career. Though he still has a lot of growing to do as a franchise player, Jones has banked the team's future on his improvement.
Last year, the Cowboys went 10-6 and finished first in the NFC East. They eventually lost to the Los Angeles Rams by a score of 30-22 in the second round of the playoffs.
