My stance exactly

Around 10:30 he basically admits Jerry and Stephen hired him before they had any idea who the head coach would be.

Special advantages of this unique structure strikes again.

So what.
The staff look’s good.
Give them credit.

You don't care at all that Jerry and not the head coach hired the DC?

The head coach will love it if they win.

He didn't say that. He did say he was comfortable with the Jones family and he was all in when he met Brian and having Dak was a slam dunk.

Eberflus was hired on Jan. 28. No-Schott was hired Jan. 25. So obviously they didn't hire Eberflus before they knew who the head coach was going to be. Now, whether Eberflus was their idea or the coaches, I don't know, but I'm sure they discussed it during the process of hiring No-Schott. For all we know, No-Schott may not have had a preference while the Joneses did, or No-Schott could have suggested it.

Was that really true. Who cares if it works out.
Dang, why so critical over it.
Enjoy the change.
Many wanted him as HC years ago.
Now the change to whine over the hiring.

Fans are so hateful over it. SMH.

Surprised they didn’t give him the nickname of Easy-e

Give me a break, I'm not "hateful" over it. I'm just pointing it out.

But it is another example of why the structure here is a problem. Like Jimmy once said, Jerry thinks he's the head coach. He wants the coordinators to work for him, not the DC to work for the HC. Yes, I know Jerry signs the checks, but you should understand what I mean.

I get it. But I will at least give them credit for actually doing a good job at getting DC’s. They suck at hiring HC’s but they generally go get top DC’s.

Plus it simply has a poor history of working out....KM was forced on McCarthy. Jason Garrett was forced on Wade. Even when these both worked out to some extent its still resulted in KM being let go, and we have the famous Garrett set Wade up theories.

I certainly cant confirm, but would suspect that Zimmer was more of a Jerry choice than a McCarthy choice. Now another DC is being forced on Schottenheimer....even though I'm sure Schottenheimer signed off on it, I also imagine he really didn't have a choice as Jerry could have simply not offered him the HC job if he said no. The only time I really remember this working was the Parcells/Zimmer arrangement.

Give me a break. Jerry is not tying to be HC, nor is he calling plays.
He may influence about some players playing (supposedly), but all owners do to a degree as well.

The only time I really remember this working was the Parcells/Zimmer arrangement.

And I heard only recently from one of the local writers (can't remember which it was) that Zimmer wasn't even forced on Parcells, that Parcells genuinely liked him that much after the interview. They said the one coach Jerry really insisted Parcells keep was Wade Wilson, and Parcells fired him. Obviously Parcells had the contractual authority to do so. Today's coaches probably don't even have that.

And that very well could be. Its been so long ago the details are fuzzy. I know it was an odd arrangement as Zimmer didn't have experience with the 3-4 defense Parcells was trying to get in place, but at the same time Im sure of all our HCs over the last 20 years Parcells is the one with the biggest voice to tell jerry no if he didnt want a guy.
