CRAP!

Please please please do not let another franchise poach away the main, sane, logical front office stability from Dallas.

 

[DoctorChicken]

I hope Will stays away from that franchise for his own sanity.

Jerry is not going anywhere my dude

....WM, is Dallas loyalty. Dude is a king around DC headquarters.

Who would give that up?

EXACTLY.

I doubt they can out pay Jerry for McClay's services.

WM would be crazy to go there. He’s a king in Dallas and is treated as such.

I do not know what his reasoning would be. Perhaps the opportunity for a proper title and recognition for what he can do and has done..? It is a mystery.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

He isn't leaving stop worrying

True but it is not necessary for someone else to outbid Jones. People take other jobs offered to them for less if it matters that much to them.

Will is not going anywhere. Jerry would match any offer besides he's already GM. He doesn't have to answer to anyone but Jerry who's the owner.

He is not treated that way within the front office's hierarchy.

Yes, but I'm guessing Will's pretty happy here. Otherwise, he probably would have sought out another team. Who knows? Maybe he dropped a seed in someone's ear (Get your minds out of the gutter, people!) and that's why they're asking...May e did so, but just to get more money out of JJ!

 

[jazzcat22]

Will does not care about a GM title. He loves it here and the area. It would have to be some really great $$$ for him to leave.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

I am guessing it will be for GM. McClay is basically one of several vice-GMs here. McClay just doesn’t have final say. Jerry has final say.

The vice GMs are Stephen, McCarthy, and McClay.

If McClay doesn’t like where he is now or wants more money, then he will likely leave. If not, then he stays.

I am sure McClay doesn’t do all the scouting and player recommendations by himself. There are many under him. It is a group effort. I am sure there are some under him who are quite capable themselves.

 

[TNCowboy]

If they offer him GM and autonomy over player personnel, why wouldn't he leave? Managing a roster without Jerry and Stephen Jones looking over your shoulder, having a draft war room that didn't double as a Jones family reunion....hard to imagine McClay won't bolt if they make him a great offer.

Trust me. No one hopes Will McClay is content to stay more than me. To me, he has been a godsend. I would elaborate more on how I feel on the subject but that would clearly violate site rule #6. Big time, lol.

It is a possibly. Different people have ambitions that other people may not understand or accept as important to someone else.

 

[fivetwos]

McClay isn’t perfect but it beats the crap out of when Jerry and his drinking buddies made the draft board.

Hey…we had our window with these guys. This is how things work.

It won’t be about money. If Quinn leaves it’s about him getting a second shot. If McClay leaves it’s about being tired of his Milli Vanilli role and Jerry’s ego not giving him the title even though everyone pretty much knows it ain’t Jerry who is running the day to day.
