Schottenheimer: 'We moved some guys around. There's a method to the madness.'

FRISCO, Texas — The Brian Schottenheimer era has started in Dallas.

A new page has been flipped in the Cowboys organization, and with Schottenheimer at the helm, the team will continue to start with a blank slate every season.

During Saturday's media availability, the Cowboys' new head coach shared how he's already shaken things up: Starting with the locker room seating chart.

"We moved some guys around, this year, I did, along with the help of the staff," Schottenheimer said. "[The players] don't really get a say in that. But there's a method to the madness."

Schottenheimer said he let the players sit down in the team room, then made them stand up and change to their new seats.

Schottenheimer said he will continue to shake up the locker room seating, annually, for as long as he's coaching the Dallas Cowboys.

Re-arranging the chairs on the Titanic hoping for a different outcome probably won't work.

We all know what the single-most biggest problem with the Dallas Cowboys is.

He needs to move Parsons to MLB and Overshown to safety..........

Maybe re-seat Jerry Jones on a Greyhound headed out of town.

He should plant microphones in the lockerroom to monitor the guys with opinions, otherwise known as "troublemakers."

He should probably switch lockers around every 3-4 weeks. That should prevent them from forming cliques.

By keeping the players unbalanced in this way, they should be incapable of mounting a rebellion.

I believe that this particular culture was attempted before. It should be noted that they failed to build a winning tradition.

Sounds like Shotty is staying busy with inconsequential actions instead of focusing on important things. We used to call that stuff "Busy Work" in the Army.

I was in the military you didn’t need busy stuff , you were in the field. Don’t know what you were doing.

Pretty slow time of year, I guess.

R U saying the captain of the Titanic was responsible when it hit the iceberg?

Shocked, I tell you, just shocked !

12 gauge shotty is a breath of fresh air.

Reminds me of assigned seating in elementary school. Sit where you want then the teacher moves you after

Lol,
Brilliant!
Let’s move a generational pass rusher to be an average off the ball LB!
I don’t even think the great Monty Python could have come up with a concept so ridiculously silly!

 

[fivetwos]

No silly, you put UDFA safeties at MLB and smaller guys who can rush the passer at DT on early downs.

Then cry because you got beat so bad, although I’d figure the Sam Williams bash made Jerry feel a little better that night.

Oh and then do nothing to fix it in the off-season. Then claim no one can do what he can.

Yeah. No better way to say "Hey, look, Im a leader" like coming up with a third grade seating chart.

Whats next, having to raise your hand to talk? Designated nap time?

Hows it possible that this guy has never been a head coach? He is sooooo innovative.

 

[Carson]

Miles Sanders? That’s confusing to be in the leader role already

 

[Kwyn]

Doesn’t every team do this?

People are acting like this is some sort of mind control conspiracy or childish game.

Did Jimmy or Parcells allow players to run the locker room?

I kinda doubt it.
