Coaching Philosophy

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Or the coach is an idiot.

So far that has a higher probability than anything else.

I'm just going by looking at the inconsistencies of what he said and how almost no starting quarterback in the NFL gets micromanaged like that. I'm pretty good at telling when someone is trying to con me.

Hear me out for a bit....in my experience, a HC is ultimately responsible for the team's performance....win or lose. So, when I say that Schotty needs to have his pulse on every play and every situation, some either disagree or misunderstand me. Let me explain....as a HC, you are responsible for the flow of the game....what I mean by this is, if our defense is coming off the field, tired, beaten, confused, they need time to rest and adjust....meet with the DC and position coaches. In the meantime, an OC isn't worried about that...what's to stop them from going out, three straight incomplete passes, punt and put the defense right back on the field? The HC is! An OC is on the 1 yard line and wants to dropback and throw a deep pass, risking a safety, what's to stop him from doing that? The HC is! A DC, wants to blow a TO to talk to his players because the OC went three and out....what's to stop him from blowing a TO that we made need later? The HC! Clock management, who is in charge of that, because the coordinators are to busy calling the game? The HC! Substitution, tired or banged up player needs to come out....who is in charge of that? The HC! Telling the ST coordinator, squib kick it and take a few seconds off the clock, so they don't get good field position and have time for a pass, TO and FG to win the game? The HC is! Who tells the QB, if he's open in the corner of the end zone, throw it to him for the win, if he's covered like a blanket, throw it away! The HC is! Some see it as micromanaging, it is...but, if done correctly and without undermining his staff in front of his players, it's a must...at least in my eyes. It's also a lot of fun! Even the 90 hour work weeks.
Now, that said, who thinks Schotty is doing all of these things, or who thinks he should?

Go Cowboys!

Exactly. that is why Schott is an idiot. And he is not a qualified HC in NFL. For balancing out your defense condition, you should know about the time of possession, and your condition of defense. But he doesn't have any clue.

Me neither. That's why I like to joke about people thinking the next puppet will be better than the last puppet. We won't have a good HC until Jerry or Stephen get desperate enough to do another Parcels type hire. My hopes on that aren't high.

There won’t be another Parcells as long as Jerry is alive. He said after Parcells left that was the least fun he’d had as Cowboys owner and wouldn’t do that again.

My hope is with Stephen when Jerry crosses that silent sea - that Stephen will want to follow his own path. I’m just afraid he’s been in the environment too long to do that.

Chan Gaily? Dave Campo? Wade Philips? .

Jason Garrett?

To be fair Jerry has hired 2 former Super Bowl winners (Parcells, McCarthy)

I think he only does that when even he can see how frustrated everyone is

Which means the next HC hire will probably be a big name

Because fan base morale at the moment is as low as I've seen it in a LONG time

The problem is youre right

The answer is Schottenheimer ISNT a head coach, i can tell that from my feces stained couch in Maryland

HC doesnt need to rule with an Iron fist but like what my mom said when i became a site director “everyone needs to know that the buck stops with you, no exceptions”
