Signed by Cowboys Cowboys hire Brian Schottenheimer as Offensive Coordinator

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

He’s the fake Offensive Coordinator.

They couldn’t find anyone anywhere else to come be our Eric Bienemy so they just gave Schottenheimer the job.

McCarthy wants to run and call his own offense.

We can only pray. Just shutting up and letting Andy Reid do his thing, instead of trying to be the next offensive genius seems to be working out pretty good for the guy

No! He ran him off so he could implement his offense and call the plays. This hire only reflects that.

I hate our front office more and more every year.

That said, there’s a lot of detail that he can bring to the offense, as noted by PFF’s John Owning.

Unfortunately, Schottenheimer’s offenses were often criticized due to their predictability on account of a lack of creativity as a play caller — those aren’t the kind of critiques that will inspire Cowboys fans after the team jettisoned a boy wonder for this retread candidate. Luckily for Dallas, the predictability of Schottnehimer’s play-calling shouldn’t be an issue because McCarthy will be calling plays. That could allow Schottenheimer to focus on what he does best: designing an offense that intertwines the running, play-action passing and dropback passing games at a high level.
Cowboys fans will be happy to hear that hiring Schottenheimer would likely mean a move away from the hitch/curl routes that were so frequently leaned on during Moore’s tenure as offensive coordinator. The Cowboys targeted hitch routes the fourth most in the NFL; however, Schottenheimer appears to favor routes where his receivers are on the move rather than a stationary target, as his offenses are littered with drive, shallow-cross, spear and “China” passing game concepts — none of which have a stop, curl or hitch route baked into the basic play.

Per Jane - where are you goobers that told me those OC interviews last week were legitimate? Hahahaha

Same song and dance from this organization for 30 years - we like our guys - goes for players and coaches

They were, but doesn't mean they had to hire them

 

[Hawkeye19]

Not surprised at the hire. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[Bigrandrn]

Just draft another rb back and you don't even need to use our 1st rd pick to get a good one.

Agree, we can get a better back than Zeke in the middle rounds, maybe even late….Zeke washed, and too expensive tor a washed player.

Well this sucks, but Mike is calling the plays which is a plus.

Schottenheimer's role isn't likely an influential one

 

[Stash]

I just cannot understand for the life of me how proven mediocre coaches like Schottenheimer keep getting jobs.

The good old boy system really works.

 

[rambo2]

He will be fired after 2023

Only if he haves a bad season. If he has another good year, he probably keeps the job.

Why would it suck?

divisional round and out or less and he’s gone

 

[5Stars]

Like any reasonable, level headed intelligent human being I will give him a chance. Unlike the majority of you miserable loser Karen’s.

lol...oh, my man! Dude! A level headed intelligent human would not call others miserable losers.

B S they aren't cheap. You guys complain no matter what they do.

 

[reddyuta]

Mccarthy is on the hook for this one,if it all comes crashing down he will be the first to go.

Schottenheimer isn't noted for his creativity.
