Finally have a young staff in place will implement modern schemes!

I'd guess polarization. There is a pretty large contingent who believe the players don't matter and that it's all on coaching. Really silly stuff.
All you need is a simple analogy…

You could be a great office manager, but if your company hired a bunch of dumb slackers as your subordinates then your department isn’t going to be productive.

You might get a bit more out of them than a not-so-great manager would, but it would pale in comparison to competent, quality hires.
 
Fifteen of the last twenty-six Super bowls have been won by retreads like Bill Belichick, Andy Reid, Mike Shanahan, Dick Vermeil and Pete Carrol.

Youth doesn't automatically imply innovative success nor does age automatically exclude it.

As far as the current Cowboys defensive staff is concerned, we will let the results decide.

I'm not saying they won't be everything described, I am just tired of the annual offseason hype heaped upon us by the Cowboys propaganda department.
Well if you think about it, when was the last time Jerry hired a good coach of any kind?
 
If Dallas gets good play at offensive tackle , they should be able to run the ball at a league leading level this coming season. And the defense should be much better, these coaches have a pulse, I don't think Eberflus had much of anything innovative up his sleeve at all when it came to coaching defense . I look for this team to improve across the board .
Some of us see this, some dont.
 
The Cowboys still had a negative rush EPA and their success rate only improved 4%.

Schemes are nice but they don't matter much if you don't have the talent to execute. Quinn's defenses were excellent when everyone was healthy and his defensive playbook was basically on an index card. At the end of the day, especially on defense, you have to have players who can defeat blockers and cover.
That's it

Nicely done.

How do you define a "good" coach?

When you think about it, an owner or GM doesn't know if they hired a "good" coach at the time.

A good coach is one that has achieved his goal and in the NFL there is only one goal.

Until then, it is always pure speculation.

And anyway, who hired these coaches?

Was it Jerry Jones or was it Schottenheimer?

Technically, yes, Jerry is paying them but who is making the choices?

If Schottenheier's career with the Cowboys depends on the results, then shouldn't he be the one hiring those he will depend on to succeed?

It would be innovative of Jerry Jones if he left all football related decisions to those that know and understand the NFL game. It certainly isn't Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones is specifically excluded as well.
