I don't think Schotty even saw it coming
having your interview be 10 hours split over two days there was discussion over who possibly BS wanted for his staff and I'm sure there's a list but you do realize it's a process right first of all they're not gonna tell you their list but they have to do the Rooney rule interviews they have to set up interviews and they may have guys already in mind they'd rather hire but they still have to go through the process...
And by the way ,
if this was a done deal the old faith narratives or I should say false narratives around here that Jerry already handpicked the entire staff ,which included Jason Witten, therefore it would already be put together and we would have more names..hmm
well that's been blown away, the Jason Witten story apparently was fake ,there may be a time when Jerry will want to give Jason Witten a chance, but this wasn't this time.
that narrative was absolutely false,
that that's the reason Mike McCarthy refused his new deal or they couldn't come to it wasn't years it wasn't money and it wasn't Jason Witten..
I'm betting it was the more obvious that Jerry Jones wanted Mike McCarthy to step down as the play caller and hire a new offensive staff and it didn't work out,
so it wasn't sudden, but yes it was a surprise for everyone, and I'm including Jerry..
I think he was blown away in the interviews because Kellen Moore was his favorite, I believe that who was coming here, but because he was held up on the formal interview,
Brian schottenheimer must have not only said the right things ,he impressed Jerry to a point, Jerry did research he called Pete Carroll ,he talked to some ex coaches, who were Brian schottenheimer's peers and whatever was said in all those meetings and phone calls led to this hire.
