Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed a recent report that he plans to continue serving as owner and general manager of the team for the next 15 or 20 years, which would take him through his 91st birthday. Jones, who recently turned 71, told KRLD-FM he considers his recent years to be “some of the best work that I’ve done.”

When asked about the CBS report of his future plans, Jones was clear.

“Of course, I said it, and I really meant that and just think about that a minute: Why wouldn’t you? One of the reasons that I to some degree have taken the risks that I have over the years and kind of had the professional life that I followed is so that I get to decide when enough is enough. God willing. So I do get to decide that. It’s a certain part of working for yourself if you still are standing when the time comes. So I get to really make that decision, and I want to make it in a way that I think is in the best interest of the team, franchise and really our fans.”

The Cowboys are 127-127 since the 1997 season and have infamously won just one playoff game in the past 16 years.

So, as someone who likes seeing people defying the slow march of time and continuing to work into their twilight years, I fully support Jones’ plan to stay on for 20 more seasons. And the Redskins fan in me appreciates Jones’ plan just as much.
