DALLAS (105.3 THE FAN) — Jerry Jones has been widely criticized for appearing on the sideline and interacting with head coach Jason Garrett during the Cowboys’ Monday Night loss to Washington.

He’s got the support of one owner in the area.

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban — who sits courtside for every Mavs home and away game — says he’d take things a step further if he owned an NFL franchise.

“If I owned a football team, you better believe it. I wouldn’t be up in the suite,” said Cuban to Ben & Skin on 105.3 The Fan. “Guys would be coming off the field after making a tackle, and I’d be head-butting their helmet; I’d be pushing them; I’d be chest-bumping them. Hell yeah!”

Cuban understands the inner workings of professional sports teams. And he’s also had success.

He rebuilt the Mavs with his “hands on” approach when he arrived in 2000, and he hasn’t changed. That approach has resulted in an NBA championship and playoff appearances in 13 of 14 seasons.

Jones is often accused of interfering or meddling with the Cowboys operations. The same descriptors are rarely associated with the highly involved Cuban.

“It’s only meddling if you’re not in charge. If it’s somebody else’s, then you meddle,” said Cuban. “If it’s yours, then you’re running the stupid thing. When it’s all said and done, I’m responsible for it.”

As Jones has found out, having a visible role within the organization lends itself to criticism — particularly when failure occurs.

Cuban believes it’s impossible to escape the culpability, which emphasis the need to make the right decisions as an owner.

“When it’s all said and done, it comes back to me and I’ve got to understand how to make the right decisions. Whether you’re hiring a general manager, whether you’re hiring a coach, whatever it may be. Who else are you going to blame? So it’s not meddling, it’s trying to get it right.”
