Just odd considering Linehan was the one that wanted Prescott.

According to Jones, Linehan was "on the table" for the Cowboys to draft Prescott. Linehan had him rated with the top quarterbacks in the draft, Wentz and Goff, and he pushed for the team to rate him higher than it did.
Linehan studied the Mississippi State offense as well as the quarterback. His impression was that Prescott was making more whole-field reads than most spread quarterbacks. But he knew three elements would be transitional for him: Playing under center, running a huddle and learning/making more expansive play calls.
Wanted him but can't call the plays to get him in rhythm.
Under Linehan and the Garrett/Linehan scheme Dak had one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history. There are valid criticisms of the coaches/system but they are wildly over-inflated.
And as for wanting to draft Dak...that was for him to be a backup.
Dak has the yips.
