Dan Quinn on Brian Schottenheimer

[Brax]

All these hate responses. Can’t these cute hate posts stop. And take these respected coaches comments at face value to be a positive thing. Without creating negativity.

I am a wait and see guy, I’m glad he’s not a retread, no one knows what he’s going to be until a season or two down the road. Maybe he’s a great hire only time will tell give us the answer

In all seriousness it was obvious when he was DC here and in Wash the players are ecstatic about him as HC , Quinn overall is a decent man.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn worked with new Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer in New York (2007-2008) and Dallas (2022-2023). Quinn said when they were with the Jets that he saw how “excellent” Schottenheimer was. “I knew then that he had rare things about him.”

Quinn said Schottenheimer helped him “a lot” in his role as a coaching analyst in 2022 in Dallas.

“He’s gonna do a fantastic job. He has high-level coaching and high-level relatability. When you put those two things together, that’s a really rare combination. And he’s got them both.”

I’m so pumped about this endorsement I’m running around my house with my Prescott jersey screaming “HERE WE GO!!!!!!!”

I wonder why Quinn never gave such a good coach a job on one of his staffs?

Didn't Quinn have Kyle Shanahan as an offensive coordinator on his staff when he was the HC of the Atlanta Falcons?

Kyle Shanahan has coached the 49ers to Superbowl status, so isn't he considered a "good coach" that came from Quinn's staff?

Coaches never know when they are going to be unemployed. As such they are loathe to bad mouth other coaches. You never know who you are going to bump into during the hiring process down the road.

This.

Even if he thinks Schottenheimer is an awful coach, would it be smart as the representative of a billion dollar organization, yourself being paid millions of dollars to take much of the heat, say so?

It’s always a fantastic sign when your biggest rival praises you for a hire.
