"This is a big future prediction bomb I'm going to drop. I was told, and this is from the person, who gave me the Shottenheimer news.
This person told me that when Jerry gives up the power, when Jerry's no longer in control, Will McClay is taking the wheel of this thing. That Charlotte Jones is probably going to be attending the owner meetings. And Will McClay is taking over Stephen Jones' basic role.
Like we all expect Stephen to step in, and everyone's worried and afraid of that. I was told that Will McClay is actually going to be really in that driver's seat. That's what that last contract was kind of set up for.
So if that's the case, I think we should all be pretty happy about that possibility if and when it comes. And Will McClay would obviously be happy about that too if true."
1. Pure speculation, like CowboysZone worthy pure speculation.
2. Insider knowledge about a coaching change (happening in
this franchise) is FAR from being definitive news of any actions pertaining to
this family.
3. Charlotte Jones attending owners' meetings would be a lateral move. I would guess that it would be
the smarter move because her father (a.k.a. The Mad Genius) has been attending them.
4. I respect Will McClay more than maybe most but a smart person, taking over her father's function of attendng owners' meetings (and hopefully a WHOLE lot more), will not retain him solely as her only option. She should consider upgrading his position if-and-when it is warranted.
5. As with #4, McClay's future should not be automatically and exclusively tied with Brian Schottenheimer's contract. It should be based on his results as a general manager.
6. ALL of the DNA kids are currently
co-owners and will
remain so after any transition.
7. Stephen Jones' current role is the franchise's Chief Operating Officer. I speculate he, as the chief (pun intended) sibling will take over their father's President role at some point--whether it is before or after their father leaves the mortal coil.
The elder child's move up will leave a void at COO--IF they decide to keep that position active AND fill it with another sibling. While I personally believe the sister is the most intelligent of the three, I think Jerry Jr., would likely be more qualified as COO with his flimsy professional background.
This hypothetical scenario means Charlotte would either willingly retain her title as Chief Brand Officer (unlikely since she will be representing the franchise as a co-owner)
or take over a current position or invent a new one for herself--another unoriginal possibility concerning this family. The only other current position, that would be
vacant, is
general manager. So...
What will be Charlotte's title
If-and-when McClay fills the GM role?
