He is currently the VP of Player Personnel. Could they not offer him a higher title, like President, and that would prevent Jerry from blocking the move? . Reading the narrative over the years about Dallas and McClay is they get how instrumental he's been to their success and never want to lose him. So losing him to this team within the division I'd presume would drive Jerry nuts. I'd gather it was forced his hand to something. What? I don't know. Ironically I was just telling my wife las Sunday while rooting for Dallas to beat this team for the draft pick -- its tough for me to watch Dallas in part because they have so many players I've liked before those drafts including below the radar guys like Jake Ferguson. Dallas Cowboys vice president of player personnel Will McClay is expected to garner significant interest from rival teams, but the Cowboys would "likely spend big" to retain the prized executive. ESPN's Dan Graziano reported the biggest potential snag in McClay returning to Dallas is if he seeks a general manager title, which belongs to owner Jerry Jones. It's considered highly unlikely that Jones would relinquish that title, as he's long had a strong hand in football decisions. McClay joined the Cowboys as a scout in 2003 and has been working his way up the organization for the past two decades. He was hired for his current role, which makes him Jones' right-hand man on football-related matters, in 2017. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10103418-cowboys-rumors-will-mcclay-valued-by-dal-would-likely-spend-big-to-keep-exec 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbaugh --he doesn't think so but a slimmer of a chance He's been saying that for a while on Belichick. I don't think there was a chance EB was going to get an interview after the way the season ended. If the offense had ended top-10, and Howell looked like a legitimate starter, he would have been the favorite for the job. Neither thing happened. He's out. My guess is he's going back to the Chiefs. He's a good ying to Reid's yang. Mahomes and Kelce have both brought up, unsolicited, that they miss the accountability he brought to their team, and their offense has been a bit of a mess this year. EB should give up on the HC dream and go back to the Chiefs. They're going to win a few more SBs. This off-season, they're going to sign 25 WRs and then see which ones of them can catch footballs, which seems to be the thing their current crop of WRs can't do. Which is somewhat part of the job description of a WR. If I was the Chief's, I'd call the Commanders and offer a second for Terry. If I was the Commanders I'd turn that down. But I would offer it. Terry already knows the system, he's better than any WR they have, and Mahomes would make him a 1500 yard receiver. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrFan Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 How Texans OC Bobby Slowik has helped C.J. Stroud excel as a rookie HOUSTON -- In the waning seconds against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9, Houston Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik had a hunch. The Texans were on the Buccaneers' 15-yard line trailing 37-33 with 10 seconds remaining. Based on his analytical data, Slowik knew Bucs coach Todd Bowles would be in Cover 4. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans, who's also the defensive playcaller, runs a similar Cover 4-based defensive approach, so Slowik knew how to attack what he had seen countless times in practice. Slowik dialed up a double post concept with receivers Noah Brown and Tank Dell lined up close to each other. Brown's objective was to occupy the safety and have Dell one-on-one with cornerback Carlton Davis III. When quarterback C.J. Stroud caught the snap, the defensive coverage unfolded precisely how Slowik anticipated, and Dell quickly got open for the winning touchdown. Stroud's final throw capped a historic afternoon. He set a rookie record for passing yards with 470 -- passing Andrew Luck (433). That was one of Stroud's most memorable throws in his rookie season, but it signified a playcaller and a player in lockstep........................................ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I haven't resorted to name calling just yet. Hindsight is 20/20. They should have hired one of the retread boring OCs who was going to keep the offense the same as Turners rather than trying to install a new offense in a must win season with a 23 year old 5th round QB. Just give the job to Zampese and hope he can do the same thing Turner did just a tad better. And they probably should have signed some more competent OL players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bantu Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 44 minutes ago, Skinsinparadise said: McClay would exceed even Peters with me. He's been quietly a legend whenever you read about personnel-scouting guys. He's the unsung hero for saviing that franchise from Jerry. From what I've heard Jerry stopped interferring much in their drafts because McClay was so good at his job. Well, Cowboys recent run of competence has also coincided with Stephen (Jerry's son) taking on a much more prominent role with running the ops over there. He and McClay seem to be able to repel Jerry enough to run things well in the front office. I hope McClay gets the $$$ there or gets a huge GM gig elsewhere. Very deserving executive from all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turner was a complete and total fool. He needed to be fired. The players saw that he had about 1/8th of the family genes. He was a bad leader, bad play caller, bad play designer, had no energy, and the players lost faith in him. He needed gone. He lasted 2 seasons too long, as it turned out. Frankly, he should never have been hired, they should have kept Kevin O'Connell, as it turns out. As down as you are on EB, I am as down on Turner. Total fraud. I was a defender of his for a while because he had to deal with peg-leg, water pistol and big beard. But in the end, he was a no-nothing idiot. EDIT: I agree, fire Jack, promote Harris.

The problem with that is even if you find an offensive genius they will get poached in a year or two for a head coaching gig. It happens all over the league. Then you are constantly having to start over on the offensive side of the ball. We meed a QB guru offensive head coach for our incoming rookie QB. We need the two of them to grow together. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
