Exactly how bad was the culture with the last regime?

[75boyz]

It’s just crap made up to make the Schottenheimer hire seem good.

Oh he’s gonna “change the culture”

They have to make that argument because they can’t justify the hire based on things like his past successes or his offensive scheme or anything else really.

Exactly this.

(Yes it's been beaten and talked about for so long sheesh there I said it)

With that said, how bad was our culture for it to be talked about so much in being changed? Were there guys not getting along, did Mike never spend much time trying to get to know his players better and build relationships?

Being that our head coach was here last season and was apart of the staff, gave him a clear view of what to see and change. Is there more to this, what about the culture that comes with the front office speaking before the coach speaks?? How about changing that culture?? Please give your thoughts

It was 7-10 bad. We should have kept DQ and axed MM last year. JJ made bad decisions and now he's doubled down by making BS the HC. The culture will go from bad to worse.

Not sure the team had a culture under MM. Just a dude happy to have a job. At least Schotty is going to "TRY" probably. Might not work out but I prefer that over retreads like Wade or MM.

How far we have fallen. We’re hoping the HC might try.

That’s a pretty good point. We’ve fallen pretty far when the selling point of the new HC is he’s going to try and change the culture. Not his resume or anything but he’s going to try and change the culture.

The only positive I can say is at least so far Jerry has let him pick his guys so it looks like there’s a plan. There’s a chance, albeit slim chance, that we strike gold with Schotty but probably not.

I’m willing to wait till the games start to see what happens. The draft made me a little more positive about Schotty but I’m still not super excited about him.

I do think for the culture to change we need guys on the team like we had in the 90’s. Guys that took it personal when we lost. I remember Woodson saying he couldn’t sleep for a couple days after losing a regular season game to the Niners. We need guys with more talent and that competitive edge that every game might be the last game they play. That’s what we had in the 90’s and the 70’s. That’s what we’re missing now IMHO. Now can a coach fix that? That’s debatable. You’d have the have the right coach at the right time.

My thoughts are about DLaw. I really would like to know “the tea” (I think that’s what young cool people say now) about DLaw. I wish Mr Podcast would do a podcast on that subject matter. Or at least the change in culture and how Micah sees it. Or maybe Micah is part of the bad culture. I guess I wish I could hear the undisputed truth.

These are things I think about, these different options:
1. We have the same culture as everyone else in the league, we just suck and fans use the word culture as a coping mechanism
2. Jerry is like Dan Snyder and culture is ruining everything as some fans believe.
3. We don’t have a culture problem but we also don’t have true leaders on this team. We have a bunch of want to be leaders but no one like Aikman, Irvin, Emmitt, Woodson, Haley. Guys that absolutely hated losing and took losing very personal. We as fans are being bombarded with how great a leader “insert name “ is. Is this true? I don’t remember the Dallas media trying to sell us how great the 90’s Cowboys were at being leaders. Those guys just won Super Bowls.

I can see all as being options. Those are my thoughts

I definitely don't think we have the same culture as everyone else in the league.
Reason being we have Jerry who gives us a completely unique culture but not in a good way.

Jerry unfortunately is a role model and an example for these players he teaches them how to put making money before winning a Super bowl and to keep that as your perspective throughout your career making the most out of the window of opportunity you have.

Stay relevant stay being talked about in the media make business decisions extend your career and make the most money you can.

What other franchises do with their culture is treat fans as if they were valued customers and put their wishes first that being winning a Super bowl.

Our franchise treats the fans like tools in a toolbox that are used to make our owner money and our players respond in kind. When they are used up they're discarded.

Were there to be changed we have to at least have a coaching staff and players that want to win a Super bowl and even if it's not a priority to our owner he to give the staff enough tools to do the job not continually keep them three players and a coaching staff short
