If Schottenheimer Is The Choice Would It Change Your Fandom?

[MountaineerCowboy]

Schottenherimer seems to somehow not only be in the mix, but the betting favorite to be the next head coach.

The guy they didn't have enough faith in to be anything more than an assistant OC to McCarthy.

The guy that if he left Dallas right now would not get any attention at all for an OC job and would probably get demoted to a position coach somewhere IF somebody wanted him.

I can't think of a more "we don't care at all" hire than Schottenheimer. This is basically just a tiny step above Jerry naming Stephen the HC.

No it would not. Just another head scratcher on the long list of ... WTH is Jerry doing / thinking ... debacle.

But I will still be a fan.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

If I can handle Garret and McCartthy I can handle anything

 

[MikeT22]

Just more of the same while bidding my time waiting for Jerry to leave.

Garrett was the early 2000s Ben Johnson. The young OC that was destined to be a head coach. It didn't work out, but at least it made sense.

McCarthy was a Super Bowl champion that, at the time he was hired, was only behind Belichick in playoff wins for an active coach.

Schottenheimer is literally a position coach, at best, if he hit the open market right now.

.....We have to hope that one of these days Jerry gets it right. Other than that, we run Blue n white in our blood.

 

[Pabst]

I'd still be a fan, I would just continue to care less and less.

But, hey, maybe we're shooting for such gross incompetence we draft Archie Manning next year without actually "tanking."

This. No HC is going to change enough for it to matter. The problem is still there. Not that I won't still cheer and root for the Cowboys even knowing it's a lost cause until Jerry is gone.

 

[JBS]

Yes.

And he’s not alone. Moore, Frazier, Lynn, and a few others would as well.

Norv Turner was a position coach for the Rams when he was recommended for the OC job replacing David Shula. Who was himself supposed to have been a whiz kid.
I think it was Ernie Zampese that recommended Norv.

 

[Centex]

No. Most Dallas fans have known for decades that the team was owned and managed by a disfunctional family which prioritises their own control over winning. This is just more of the same. But I would be disappointed.

 

[Polkton31]

I'd be pissed off and sick to my stomach, but that comes with being a Cowboys fan. I'll root for the Cowboys till the day I die. No matter who the HC is, that will never change.

 

[kumizi]

Nah

I’ve already given up on the Cowboys. Jerry and Stephen have made it crystal clear they don’t care about anything other than increasing their wealth.

I watch football on Sundays either way. If the Cowboys are on, I’ll watch if it’s a competitive game. Otherwise, I’ll switch to another game.

This entire season was a spit in the face of fans. Jerry barely deigned to give an explanation as to why he sat on his hands in free agency, didn't sign Henry, signed Dak/CeeDee late, brought MM back...etc...

Jerry does not respect the collective intelligence of his fan base. He does what we might do for "the kids" or our co-workers: Set a bar for their intelligence and then move accordingly. Jerry's "kids" - his fans - are dumb enough to buy Dave Campo... so why wouldn't they buy Schottenheimer?

I'm calling for the PUBLIC HUMILIATION of Jerry. Any time he is out in public people should "boo", "hiss" and call him out his name.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

I'm not telling anyone how they should fan, but judging from the first few responses I can now see why someone like Schottenheimer is even being considered for this job.

Jerry operates with almost zero repercussions from the fanbase.

Surprised you are surprised.

This is the same front office you wanted to draft a QB to replace the guy at QB now.

They cant even leave the building to do interviews, you expect them to nail a QB pick? LOL.

 

[JW82]

Yup. My fandom is hanging by a thread at this point. I need something to be excited about.

I don't think anybody thought McCarthy's assistant would even be considered for the head coaching job, let alone become the favorite for it.

Even I am surprised at the amount of "I don't care" that takes from Jerry.

 

[RodeoJake]

I'd hope Schotts would succeed and if he doesn't, life goes onto the next coach.

 

[Cowboys=SuperBowl]

I am trying so hard to remain a fan.
