Jerry non commital on Will McClay future after the coming draft

[RS12]

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Gotta keep the Will man jeez all those Studs like Taco, Mazi, Guyton, and let's not forget the tons of wasted # 2 picks from Jaylon to Bossman.
Watt Watt Watt nah Jerry Taco fits our scheme better..................

 

[NDGAEDE]

Not at all reassuring. Could just be posturing, but any other time McClay had a chance to leave, Jerry gave him whatever he wanted.

McClay isn't perfect but has seemingly kept Jerry from himself for many years. I would be very scared without him in the draft room and instead have just Jerry and Stephen in control plus whatever positional coach they want to justify their predetermined, unqualified decision

 

[jazzcat22]

Interesting after the draft it expires.
so if they have no interest in keeping him. Which we do not know for sure. Why not go a different direction before the draft.
Switch him out if a new HC in brought in. And build a future team together.

I kept after the draft. We still will not know how well he did until a few years later. Especially when we need impact players now.

I prefer move on from the entire staff. Or most of them. Including changes in the scouting department, as well as the training staff and strength and conditioning guys.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Wouldn't be something for another team to hire MM and McClay as a package.....lol

 

[slick325]

The two contracts that matter most are lifetime deals. I would love for those to be a lot shorter than the people would like.

Was Taco before McClay?

 

[Jarntt]

Please keep this man. Trying to have a successful draft when Jerry's incompetence forces you to take positions over BPA is a monumental task. Without McClay I can't imagine the Cowboys are ever any better than the crap they put on the field this year

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Goodness.......The entire coaching staff and now McClay. If I didn't know better, I would think Jerry's about to sell the team, giving the new owner a clean slate.

Wouldn't be something for another team to hire MM and McClay as a package.....lol

It'd be even funnier if in 4 years they win a super bowl and that's the last thing Jerry sees before he dies.

 

[Jarntt]

So the moron who gives himself and his family lifetime contracts with no accountability prefers shorter contracts? Interesting angle...

 

[gtb1943]

McClay certainly is not perfect but the worry to me is with Big and Little Enos doing the hiring they might get someone worse

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Was Taco before McClay?

Will McClay, in his 21st season working in the Cowboys Personnel Department, was named the club's assistant director of player personnel in 2013 and senior director of pro/college scouting in 2015. He was named Vice President Player Personnel in 2017, and he will continue to oversee the club's NFL Draft process and play a key role in free agent and trade acquisitions.

Taco drafted 2017............

Was Taco before McClay?

This is completely off base. McClay doesn't make the picks.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Goodness.......The entire coaching staff and now McClay. If I didn't know better, I would think Jerry's about to sell the team, giving the new owner a clean slate.

except the rather large elephant that is still in the room, and has a place left behind centre

 

[PAPPYDOG]

It's English not Chinese unless his job description is a total Lie.
Heck, we have all heard him give his advice to Jerry before the pick is in.
Maybe you're correct and all he's good for is carrying Jerry's Bag around.
Whatever.............

 

[DasTex]

Just blow it all up
Hasn't worked with what they have...try something different
