In their ‘national search’ for some new front office executives, the Lions were effectively told thanks but no thanks by Will McClay, the assistant director of player personnel for the Dallas Cowboy. Only the Lions didn’t offer McClay the job, they just wanted an interview and were pretty much given a dial tone.
#Lions requested to interview #Cowboys assistant director of player personnel Will McClay for GM, source said. But he's decided to stay put.

I have the feeling the Lions are going to be getting this a lot in the search. Considering how public the team has been about wanting to keep around Jim Caldwell, their mid first round draft status and unmovable pieces on the roster.
