Clarence Hill - Cowboys to cross the finish line on hiring Brian Schottenheimer no later than Friday

[Floatyworm]

If this truly is the hire....then this cements the Jones legacy....Not just Jerry....that no one in that family knows a damn thing about football....and the only reason why they are hiring the guy is because they recognize his name. Sadly they haven't looked @ his track record because he's been let go everywhere he's been...except for here. All I can think is maybe they are looking for a fall guy in 2025....and the plan is tank for Manning.

This could be the worst hiring in my time as following the Cowboys. Hope I’m wrong, but I’m not happy about it. This is settling for sure.

Dave Campo EASILY by a mile is.

 

[Rayman70]

How do they even try to sell the fanbase that they are seriously trying to win?

 

[exciter]

Yes because it obviously takes 2 interviews and an additional 48 hours to make a decision on someone you have years of firsthand experience with.

2 seasons qualifies as “years” now?

Rex Ryan will be the new DC

No imminent bs HIRING NEWS WITH SHOTTY NOT CLOSE ACCORDING TO ANOTHER REPORT SAYING THERES CONFLICTING NEWS.

NOT CLOSE STAY TUNED

11 of 14 years as a offensive coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer offenses have been no better than the bottom half of the NFL.

This may be part of a master plan for the #1 pick next year.

If so it is genius by the Jones.

That's interesting, and imaginative too. If this somehow is Jerry Genius's plan, you can bet that that #1 pick would have Goodell saying,
"and with the Number 1 pick of the 2026 draft, the Cowboys select ______________ " (a Tight End from an FCS Div. 1-AA school)
(The third round pick would be for a punter)

Jones clan showing the rest of league how it's done

i dont care, shot is better than more MM !
I didnt care for any that they interviewed. So shot is ok with me.

Thing is till they actually announce it , I dont believe it!!

Seems too soon to me. I would think jerry would milk it till SB week.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Please give your thoughts.

feels so good, if you want to be like me just say it

 

[CommonCents]

The most unserious franchise in sports.

This. Perfect. Yes. Well said.

 

[Texasfootball21]

Why not just wait till Monday morning and hire Texas native Kliff Kingsbury as head coach? No need to rush things as this is a big decision!

 

[unionjack8]

HAHAHAHA
WHAT AN EMBARRASSING FRANCHISE.

 

[Cowboys5217]

Rex Ryan will be the new DC

As bad as a hire as that would be it would still be an improvement over Zimmer. So therefor, no way it happens.

 

[Pass2Run]

Yeah, so, I can't say I like this one. We didn't even get to see him call plays or anything. I just don't know a whole lot about him.

 

[Whiskey Cowboy]

Tanking for Arch? Can't find a legitimate coach willing to put his reputation on the line? That's the only way this makes any sense. This front office, man. They value what they value, and it isn't championships. Absolutely absurd if true.

Worse than Campo?

LOL that’s even better. Take another two weeks into the off season before you decide on a mediocre hire.
