Brian Schottenheimer: It's An Open Competition Across the Roster whole PC

[kskboys]

bellichick was never confronted with the same situation.
Brady always except 1 time took team friendly deals so he could have good players around him.
He was also GM of the team so he could have, but most coaches cant.

Belly would sit anyone if he thought it was the best thing.

yes he might have, but sitting dak isnt best for dallas. He isnt that bad.

He’s made “accountability” a meaningful word again.

Does Junior pay you to say these things?

That’s not true. Sometimes it’s frustrating when people make up their own version of events. The Cowboys never set out to hire Brian Schottenheimer as head coach. They gave him a respectful interview, and while they were impressed in the first round, they still weren’t convinced. So they did their due diligence—talking to everyone he had worked with, including players he coached—and ended up even more impressed than when they originally brought him on as an assistant a few years back. After a second interview, they were sold. They didn’t just hand the job to an inexperienced coach to save money or avoid hiring others.

I’ll say this one last time: there were some coaches the overly optimistic fan base thought we had a chance at, and that Jerry Jones supposedly should’ve interviewed, but they were never coming here. Vrabel and Ben Johnson were always going where they ended up,

it was a done deal long before it happened. Any other interviews or talk about being open to them were just for appearances.

In hindsight, Bill Belichick, Glenn, and Pete Carroll weren’t all that impressive, so cross them off the list. That would leave Brian Schottenheimer in the mix against someone like Liam Cohen, who was just as green and unknown, maybe even less so, since Schottenheimer has the name recognition of his dad, a Super Bowl appearance, and a track record as an offensive coordinator with Russell Wilson’s best three years and top league rankings in some categories. Then there’s a very inexperienced Kellen Moore, who honestly wanted him back?

I’m missing someone, but looking back at the coaching pool that season, it really seemed to come out of nowhere. It wasn’t because they were lazy or cheap, that bad narrative just isn’t true. They were blown away in an interview, which is exactly what’s supposed to happen. The interview was so strong they immediately put you at the top of the list, dug deeper, brought you back for another round to clarify, and were completely impressed again, leading to the hire.

Last year, one of the worst defensive coordinators and defenses to ever take the field actually did an admirable job. I don’t think even Ben Johnson or Aaron Glenn, oh yeah, I forgot about him, could’ve done as well with the Jets either. The real options were Aaron Glenn, Kellen Moore, and Cohen, and in hindsight, they were probably the only ones who could’ve truly challenged Brian Schottenheimer in that hiring pool.

In my opinion, Brian Schottenheimer earned the job,

it wasn’t a lazy hire made just to avoid more interviews. I think they saw what I saw and didn’t find a big gap between him and the other candidates, especially once you take Ben Johnson and Vrabel out of the mix. Looking at what he did last year, it wasn’t a bad hire. I like him,

he’s growing, still has a lot to learn, but seems to be handling the pressure from the Cowboys’ front office, the fan base, and the intense media attention that comes with the job. For a first-timer, I thought he managed it really well, especially considering he was coaching with one hand tied behind his back and that hand was named Matt Eberflus.

Junior's hire was a last-minute, desperation move.
Junior Schottenheimer is the template for the Peter Principle.

Yes, quite handsomely.

Agree.

If Dak were making Darnold money(Around 32-33 mil), I'd be all on his side and for him.

so lamb should make more than dak? lol or does his salary need to come down too?
There is no organization when it comes to player salarys. These owners need to start letting some walk, and pay the little guys more.
