Jerry Jones Says No Connection Between Paying More for Coaches and Winning
Jones claimed there is no correlation between coaching pay and winning during a radio interview, despite criticism that he avoids expensive coaches and buyouts.
- Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones defended his low-spending coaching strategy on 105.3 The Fan, claiming there is "zero correlation" between coaching pay and winning games.
- Seeking to retain full control, Jones has historically prioritized low-cost coaches, famously quipping that "any of 500 coaches could have won a Super Bowl" with his roster.
- Despite the Cowboys' $15.5 billion valuation, the team has not reached an NFC title game since the 1995 season, while the highest-paid head coaches across the NFL average $20 million annually.
- Under second-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer, the team is currently 3-5. Schottenheimer earns between $5 million and $8 million annually, reflecting Jones's budget-conscious approach.
- If Schottenheimer has guaranteed money for 2027, Jones is unlikely to pursue expensive alternatives like Mike Tomlin, as he resists costly buyouts to avoid paying multiple coaches simultaneously.
