The  front office has long been viewed as a family-run operation, as Jerry Jones three children, Stephen, Charlotte, and Jerry Jr. occupy nearly every major executive role. There has never really been an opening for someone like Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman to step into a prominent leadership position within the organization.  Those front-office titles represent more than just executive jobs, as they are tied closely to the Jones family legacy, and Aikman also admitted he never truly expected the Cowboys leadership role.  I Grayson Allen Jersey  didnt expect that type of opportunity with the Cowboys, Troy Aikman told , referring to the Jones family having front-office positions. So Im not surprised it hasnt come.  Stephen Jones currently serves as the teams Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President, and Director of Player Personnel. Charlotte Jones holds the positions of Chief Brand Officer and Executive Vice President, while Jerry Jones Jr. works as the organizations Chief Sales and Marketing Officer.  As for Aikman's fit in the Cowboys front office, he retired with the most regular-season wins by any quarterback during the 1990s, totaling 90 victories. He became one of the NFLs top broadcasters after his playing career, giving him years of experience evaluating rosters, coaching systems, and organizational philosophies acro s the league.  Meanwhile, one of the biggest challenges within the Cowboys organization has long been the internal dynamics of the Jones family. Aikman is seen as one of the rare figures with enough credibility and stature in Dallas to challenge Jerry directly without risking his standing.  Its where Ive played, Aikman said. I have a 12-year history with the organization. And then its right in my backyard; obviously, that would have been ideal. Ive only played for one team. Its not one of these situations where my allegiances have been split as a player. I always root for the Cowboys, and I want to see the Cowboys do well.  Dallas hasn't called, but other teams have, as the three-time Super Bowl champion actually joined the as a special consultant to owner Stephen Ro s in January.  More NFL news:  Karl Malone Jersey
