The Dallas Cowboys haven't been past the second round of the playoffs since the 1995 season, but 81-year-old owner and general manager Jerry Jones believes there is nobody available who could do a better job than him.

"I've done it all," he said in an interview with Clarence Hill of DLLS that was published Monday. "So I have an ordinate amount of confidence that f--k, if anybody can figure out how to get this s--t done, I can figure out how to get it done. I've been there every which way from Sunday, and have I busted my ass a bunch, a bunch.

"And there's nobody living that's out cutting and shooting that can't give you a bunch of times they busted their ass. So hell no, there's nobody that could f--king come in here and do all the contracts … and be a GM any better than I can.

"Plus, I'm where the buck stops. When it f--ks up, I got to cover it. And so there you can't give anybody enough. Can't give. There's nobody can do it."

To Jones' credit, he has built a consistent contender that has just come up short in single-elimination playoff games far too many times.

Dallas is coming off a third consecutive postseason appearance and has finished under .500 just three times since 2004. Most NFL teams would love that type of regular-season consistency, especially in a league that often prides itself on its parity.

But the bright lights of the playoffs have been too bright since the glory days of the 1990s when Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin and Co. won three Super Bowls. And Jones was the owner of the Cowboys during that period and certainly gets to count those Lombardi Trophies on his resume.

"The reason I don't let somebody else be the GM is because I don't have anybody that I will let do it to actually do it right," he said. "And they're gonna have to come to me and because I know where it is that you're going to pay for it."

Jones was once again under the spotlight this offseason with potential contract extensions for Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons looming. While Prescott and Parsons are still waiting for theirs, the Cowboys delivered with Lamb on Monday.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the wide receiver and Dallas agreed to a four-year, $136 million deal that features a $38 million signing bonus, which is a record for a wide receiver.

Ideally for Jones, Lamb can help usher in new postseason success for the Cowboys in the future. He is arguably the best wide receiver in the league and just 25 years old, so that is certainly a possibility.

Yet even if he doesn't, don't expect to see a new general manager in Dallas anytime soon.
