I would rather give No-Schott a shot than retread failed head coaches. If they failed elsewhere, I don't think they could win here with the way the Joneses run the team. I like the staff that is being assembled overall. I don't like the special teams coordinator selection as it seems like this is more a friend of No-Schott hiring than one that was done based on accomplishments. Eberflus makes sense because of his connections to the team and his success as a DC in Indy. Adams makes sense if we want to run the ball because he's an up-and-coming coach who shows some acumen in that area. Sorenson is a headscratcher.
I think they have done a good job on getting a staff that can work. They seem to have a good plan on running the football. Now we will need to see it take shape on the field.
I agree, for as poor as the hc process was I'm feeling optimistic about whwre they are overall now
I think most had an issue with the process or lack there of vs the guy, shotty is a ceo type coach and is going to have more accountability than MM...most would have rather had another coach but I think the majority of us will give him a chance but are still irritated at how terrible the hiring process was
Outside the process of hiring our head coach, I am pretty satisfied.
I'm glad it worked out the way it did.
Of course its positive lolMy view of the new coaches is pretty positive.
They all come to the Cowboys with one thing in mind:
It's hard to say. Most staffs seem to be a combination of what the GM wants and what the coaches want. For example, with this one No-Schott has no ties to Eberflus, but the Joneses do. However, the Joneses have no ties to Sorenson, but No-Schott does. Same goes for McCarthy. At first, he brought in Nolan as his defensive coordinator based on his past relationship with the coach. The Joneses had no relationship with Nolan. However, it would be hard to say that McCarthy wanted Moore when he came aboard. He may have actually wanted to install his offense immediately, but the Joneses "talked him into" keeping Moore because the offense had been successful
Look at his words. He did not promise to change his ways in vet FA. He promised to look at how they are doing it. That could mean they talk about it and decide they have been doing what they believe is in the best interest of the team.If the Cowboys are truly destined to find success in 2025, Stephen will be required to keep his word about changing his ways in vet FA. He has yet to prove that claim, although, this is a new year and the opportunity to keep his word will be required for chances for this year's version of the Cowboys to have any decent chances of success.
The old ways of relying upon 3rd-tier veteran free agents must end. Let's hope it does. A new staff can only do so much if Stephen doesn't improve his veteran free agent ways and acquire better talent in 2025.
Let's put it this way -- it's definitely high time for veteran FA changes to occur. Will SJ keep his word? Let's hope so . . . we'll see.
I always would prefer new coaches coming off bad seasons. They feel like they have something to prove being new on the team. Running it back with the same old coaches who don't feel challenged isn't a great scenario.
If it's his decision to stay as is, the team will continue to do what they've done with veteran free agency. That's anything but encouraging. SJ would be well advised to upgrade his policy of welcoming 3rd-tier veteran free agents and instead, adopt a more effective vet free agency hiring agenda.
