Stephen addresses the thought of Will McClay as future GM

[Reality]

But McClay’s checking account is very respectable.

Most likely

 

[Asklesko]

Just give him the damn title.

 

[Tabascocat]

I don’t like titles either. Can I oversee the cheerleaders aspect? Just call me Nelson, keep it simple

 

[Ranching]

With all this success, no sense in fixing what isn't broken.

Maybe he's part of the problem.....

 

[Ranching]

This is a very disrespectful and ignorant comment by Stephen Jones.

Of course it is easy to not be a "title guy" when you are at the top.

I mean, if he's not a "title guy" then why not give McClay the GM title since it does not matter to him.

Not up to him....it's Jerry's call. McClay gets paid handsomely. If he wanted the title he would have left a long time ago.

They're not football guys.

They're sports entertainment businessmen.

 

[Jumbo075]

McClay signed a huge contract extension in 2022, and doesn't seem to have any interest in leaving the Cowboys. I don't understand why so many "fans" are hung up on McClay having the title of GM, as if that would mean any less involvement from the Jones family.

 

[Blitzen]

The gall to say it's working.

You should be livid.

I think he is telling the truth. The business model is making the playoffs routinely. Postseason success not needed. Just get in.

It’s not nearly as hard to make the playoffs. As long as the team consistently wins against the worst squads and takes very few, if any, big risks that could lead to full scale rebuild-the model works. It’s not a model that leads to championships. If you think that is in their business model, you drowned in koolaid a long time ago.

I would generally like to agree with your sarcasm, I find this team is starting to give me hope again that we can make it this year. I haven't felt that in quite a while. If they fail to deliver, I reserve the right to go back to expecting them figure out a way to lose a game instead figuring out a way to win a game when it really matters.

 

[starman22]

When you top the Forbes list of most valuable sports franchises, you have reached the pinnacle of all accolades. Why mess with that? All other awards and trophies are just symptoms of that success.

You articulated this better than I could have, but I agree 100%.

 

[Ranching]

Just give him the damn title.

Obviously he doesn't care to have. He has had plenty of opportunities to have it and he's still here.

Wow, what a successful Cowboys team! Remind me how many SUper Bowl games Dallas has won since 2000.

 

[SoCalBoy]

God is there anyone more worthless in an NFL front office then Stephen Jones.

If I hated the ownership of the this football team as much as some of you guys do I think I would just go root for another team it would make life easier. Life's too short.

Well good thing you aren't me then.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

This is not an insult, but man, use a comma. I’m distracted and was very confused how God being there made a difference…lol.

Lol I was driving when I wrote this.

 

[DCwarrior]

Y’all can cry and moan all you want about ownership but WM is free to leave whenever he chooses and he is still here. So maybe he is not concerned with name titles as well.

Last 25 years have shown us were a force to not be messed with.

 

[Walker]

Stephen Jones comment about not being a title guy is pretty messed up. Maybe he should give the title position of owner to someone in the office who wouldn't mind it since its just a title!

 

[Coogiguy03]

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones on @1053thefan on VP of player personnel Will McClay staying in Dallas: “It’s something that comes up every year because obviously he’s a guy who does an amazing job for us. … Obviously we think the world of Will. Always want him to be a Cowboy, but everything is always a work in progress.

“We’d love for Will to be here as long as we can keep him here.”

Any chance they eventually give him a different title (like GM)?

“I’m not into titles or anything like that. I’ve never been a title guy. We’re just gonna keep doing what we do, it’s working.”

in another words, it's not happening captain

That's what I'm saying. What the hell is his definition of working because it's been 25 years of not working.
