Jerry Jones' embarrassing meltdown on Dallas radio brought joy to Cowboys fans

Sunday's loss was historically bad for the Dallas Cowboys, but they are still 3-3 and have several winnable games coming up. This is far from rock-bottom. Many fan bases would entrust a front office and coaching staff with turning things around, but Jerry Jones hasn't given Cowboys Nation any reason to think this season won't have a disappointing ending.

While bloodthirsty fans called for Mike McCarthy's job after Sunday's 47-9 defeat, what exactly would that accomplish? Firing head coaches midseason seldom works out for teams, and Dallas doesn't have an obvious successor - unless you want Mike Zimmer to take over.

There will be plenty of time to discuss McCarthy's job security. In the meantime, bigger problems need fixing. Some of those problems could have been solved in the offseason if the front office knew how to manage the salary cap.

Well, Jones was asked about not showing more aggression in the offseason during his weekly appearance on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. Jones did not take kindly to the hard-hitting questions and had a complete meltdown.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones lost it in interview with 105.3 The Fan in Dallas

"This is not your job," Jones said, via The Athletic's Jon Machota. "Your job isn't to let me go over all the reasons that I did something and I'm sorry that I did it. That's not your job. I'll get somebody else to ask these questions. I'm not kidding. You're not going to figure it out what the team is doing right or wrong. If you are, or any five or 10 like you, you need to come to this (NFL) meeting I'm going to today with 32 teams here, you're geniuses."

Here is the full audio of Jones completely losing it.

Yes, that is the Cowboys' owner seemingly threatening to fire the radio hosts on 105.3 The Fan for pressing him about what is wrong with the team. Jones even confirmed he was serious about removing the hosts.

The optics are embarrassing. Jones essentially told the hosts not to ask him pertinent questions that were all about accountability. He dodged all of them.

Jones has gotten feisty during interviews in the past. However, a variety of Cowboys reporters believe they have never heard Jones get as defensive and antagonistic in an interview. The pressure might finally be cracking the pipes.

Again, 105.3 The Fan asked Jones extremely fair questions. The Cowboys spent the least money of any team in the NFL over the offseason at $20.795 million, per Over The Cap. For comparison's sake, the rival Eagles spent $137.21 million and they ranked 19th in spending. That deserves an explanation from Jones, who is the team's de facto general manager and has final say in personnel decisions.

If Jones put as much energy into trying to improve the team as he does dodging accountability, the Cowboys would be in a better place.

Nevertheless, the mask is off with Jones and Cowboys fans thoroughly enjoyed the owner showing his true colors.
