Could it be Jerry has now stepped back enough to allow the football guys to take charge?
I'll keep pinching myself just to make sure I'm not dreaming. It seems too good to be true!
Jerry’s stepped back for a while. Need proof:
1) He wasn’t even at DLaws press conference last year. He was remoted in
2) Zeke said he hadn’t talked to Jerry from April-August last year.
3) I’ve tried to point this out for a year. Will McClay was offered the GM job in his hometown with the Texans. No true NFL guy is going to turn down the opportunity to build the team that is a couple pieces away from being a contender unless he’s already doing so where he is.
Here’s how the Cowboys front office works.
Jerry: Final approval on all BIG decisions like head coach, tradings first round picks, etc. Not involved in day to day. Oversees business operations for Cowboys and his 75-80 other companies like oil, real estate, etc.
Stephen: Handles cap. Is one who settles and reports to Jerry day to day issues like the fight between Richard and Bloom Fish reported yesterday.
McClay: Handles all player personnel from talent perspective. He picks the players that fit and Stephen decides if it works within the cap.
Stephen even has guys that do more day to day stuff. I forget name of the guy who actually did the final negotiations with Zekes agent when Stephen and Jerry were in New York.
