Cowboys discuss bringing in Scott Linehan for playcalling

[Bowdown27]

@AdamSchefter: Cowboys are discussing hiring former Lions OC Scott Linehan as their play caller, per @Edwerderespn and @mortreport.

Interesting. Does Callahan stay, but in a lesser capacity? Seems odd.

 

[TheSport78]

I'd fire Callahan and keep Frank Pollack as the OL coach!

 

[SDCowboy]

Never heard of him. What's his style?

Unreal...absotutely STUNNING. I live in Michigan and this guy was drummed out of Detroit. He couldn't make it work with a very talented offense in Motown led by Calvin Johnson and Matt Stafford. What a colossal CLOWN move by JJ.

Sounds like a good idea.

seriously? He ran the LIONS into an ice berg and was a big part in the whole staff being fired. That offense was notorious for costly turnovers and penalties...LOTS of procedure penalties mainly. Clearly they were poorly coached and he was the man responsible for it.

Would rather see a new offensive coordinator, not a new play-caller who calls the same plays in this weak scheme.

 

[Zordon]

oh God....

Balty interviewed him as well three days ago I saw. Linehan said he credits Dennis Ericson for his offensive attacking style on Wikipedia.

Do we run the same offense? Don't even know. I'm for anybody outside of JG calling plays.

Chud over this guy please!!!

Wait....changed my mind. Duh he's been coaching for Detroit since 2009. Right up JG's ally. Passes 50 times per game! We should just get Mike Leach.

 

[TrailBlazer]

What's this guy all about? I don't see the point if we're still gonna use JGs crap scheme.

 

[17yearsandcounting]

Another whipping boy for Clapper to pass the blame to. Awesome.

 

[Stash]

So wait, yet another cook stirring the offensive pot?

Yeah, this'll turn out well...

 

[Future]

Would be the final nail in run game coffin

Right. We might not ever run the ball again with those three together.

 

[Stash]

Right. We might not ever run the ball again with those three together.

And how many people need to be brought in to 'help' Jason Garrett?

The secret sauce is getting older and Staler by the moment.. Jerry Davis smdh...
