FRISCO — Toward the end of a nearly 40-minute news conference, Cowboys’ owner and general manager Jerry Jones made two jokes about coach Mike McCarthy and...
McCarthy laughed after Jerry Jones made his joke. It set off fans on social media, who wondered if Jones’ comment was inappropriate or whether it was nothing to worry about., was asked why he hasn’t made McClay the GM.
“I can’t make him general manager,” Jerry Jones said smiling. “We have one. It’s tenured. If Will can write those checks, I might consider it.”and has put the draft board together since 2014. “Will is unique,” Jerry Jones said. “I don’t want anybody to know about Will. I’m teasing, but I’m not teasing. He’s very unique. He has great people skills and I mean they work for Will and the scouts, and that’s a management job, those scouts out on the road. I think we’re up over $250,000 a player that we draft on scouting expenses that we draft. That’s not going toward pro scouting.
So, Will’s got a big job, and he’s got a big job of managing, and I mean managing, because those [scouts] are out on the road most of the time, guys that are there — outstanding, best group that I’ve ever been associated with in 30 years.” Jerry Jones has also been complimentary of McCarthy, saying he’s a major reason why defensive coordinator Dan Quinn has remained with the organization the last two seasons despite potential head coaching opportunities elsewhere. Jones also praised McCarthy’s handling of the team during difficult off-the-field issues and for pushing the team into the divisional round of the postseason last year.
