If Shottenheimer is named the head coach of the Cowboys, I am out

[kskboys]

If Shottenheimer is named the head coach of the Cowboys, I am out.

I know no one cares if I am in or out, but after 65 years of being a Cowboys fan, I believe it is telling that a lifelong fan will call it quits with his team. I glommed on to the Cowboys when they were competing with the Dallas Texans. I especially imprinted on No. 17, Dandy Don Meredith. He was and remains my favorite player of all time. That is not meant to say that he was the best player, even at his position, it was his humanity, cool, and humor. Who is the best player at his position on the Cowboys all the time? Hands down, Troy Aikman. I have seen every QB, up close and personal. No one threw the ball with such precision. When he targeted Irwin, the ball was placed right between the 8s. His long ball was also a thing of beauty. He also had fire in his belly and never backed down. Many folks would say Roger. As much as Roger was a great representative of the organization, his passing abilities were nowhere close to Aikman's. I remember going to many games and watching Staubach's first few passes. If his down and outs to Pearson sailed well above his head, as it often did, then we were in for a long day. And it happened a lot. Roger was a great leader and athlete. His Roger Dogger abilities were impressive. But if you had to pick one Cowboys' QB, it has to be Troy.

But I regress. I was at the last Super Bowl that Dallas played in. It was against Pittsburgh in Tempe. Cowboys won. Because of Cowher, the game was closer than it should have been. Since then we have endured 30 years of ineptitude. I don't need to discuss this, we all know the reasons why.

This leads to my declaration. If Shottenheimer is named head coach I am out. If this is Jerry's move it says that he does not care about winning. I have suspected that for a long time. This would be my final straw.

About 5 years ago I stopped buying anything Cowboys and I refused to go to a game either at Jerry World or on the road. I was done giving the Jones family any of my hard-earned money. I have advised other Cowboys fans to do the same thing. Jerry only cares about two things; Jerry and money. He is a narcissist and a money grubber of the worst kind.

Shottenheimer is a person who got his job because of his father. He was so negatively regarded that McCarthy decided he would call plays instead of leaving that to his offensive coordinator. Shottenheimer has shown nothing to indicate that he is any more than a position coach. Making him the HC is expedient for Jerry. Shotty will not rock the boat, will let Jerry interfere in all decisions and most importantly won't cost Jerry money. My guess is that he would take less money than Big Mike. That will make Jerry a very happy guy.

The only thing wrong with this equation is that the team will not improve, the Cowboys will continue their mediocrity and the fan base, including me, will continue to be frustrated.

I have seen this movie before. It has repeated for 30 years. It is the same BS every year. I always joke about the Cowboys always winning the Super Bowl twice a year. Once, right after the draft and the other in training camp. In those two moments, Jerry is waxing his complete bull **** and we the fans somehow buy into it even as our minds know better. Jerry is the ultimate P.T. Barnum and I have been the ultimate sucker for now going on 3 decades. That will end immediately after the coronation of the next Head Coach Flunky. Fool me 30 times shame on me.

If this is the eventuality, I will watch the NFL with dispassion. I will not care who wins or who loses. The league has become a shadow of its former self. The league declared itself as "entertainment" to obtain a waiver from anti-trust regulation and with that declaration the honesty of the league came into serious question. Now that the league endorsed gambling and is profiting from the same, the credibility of the outcome of games, especially the big ones is seriously in question, at least with me. (See the last three SBs. In each, the team that won, was referee aided in their winning drive, not just once, but several times for infractions of the rules that no one else saw.

So it is all up to Jerry. Name Shotty as the next head coach and I am out of here. So, Jerry what is it going to be?

We were done when we paid a WR and a CB a huge chunk of the cap.

 

[kskboys]

Im not saying "Give him a chance" but lets state the obvious...does it matter who the HC is if the clown is still pulling the strings? He turned two SB winning HC's into losers...the next HC's name could be Bob from Pokenstien and it wouldn't matter...Is the GM still Jerry, well it will be more of the same except now its Bob's fault...

Nope.

 

[kskboys]

Why wait? There is not a head coach out there that can fix this team. Good coach might win 8 games, a bad one maybe only 3 but the results are the same. No playoffs, not even a chance at a ring.

Yup, x gadzillions. This team is not fixable as is. Especially w/ Jerry in charge.

Let me guess, a CB in the 1st, or maybe a WR. And fans will support the pick by saying "Oh, yes, we needed one." Meanwhile, back in the real world, we get run over on D and our LBs keep getting hurt because the O has a free run at them and multiple blockers because our DLine isn't good enough. Same old story.

 

[Pokes12]

Has this helped? We're worse off now.....

It has helped my mental condition. I have advocated for others to boycott the Pokes, but it seems like no matter what Jerry says or does, there are fans who continue to part with their money and enrich the Jones family.

 

[Pokes12]

OK, but why? Appointing Schott is pretty much 'the bunker scenario' for Jerry. He's just surrounding himself with the desperate and needy sycophants.
We all know that nothing changes until Jerry goes, appointing Schott (especially when there were ample younger innovative candidates available), further backs him into the corner and highlights his real ambition....making money and showing he can run and influence everything in his world.
It's not the greatest future, but the end is coming, thanks to Mike it's probably going to be quicker than we hoped for.

Nothing will change when Jerry goes. Stephen is worse because he is entirely focused on reducing costs. He is supposed to be a cap expert for this team but in reality he is Jerry's flunky son who will further erode the goodwill of this team. Others created the goodwill; Tex Schram, Tom Landry, Don Meredith, Bob Lily, Roger, and many more players and staff who engineered "America's Team. Jerry had the opportunity to add to the legacy but his narcissism got in the way.and now he is on the brink of destroying it all. The Cowboys are the laughing stock of the NFL. Have you told anyone outside of Dallas that you are a Cowboys fan? The immediate response is a laugh or an eye roll.

I haven't bought anything for probably about 15 years....but, my daughter buys me a shirt, hoodie or cap every Christmas, Bday or father's day.....I wear them proudly....albeit it, for different reasons. Lol

 

[chuck520]

I get it but at this point I'm just hoping for a decision

 

[TRUTH87]

it’ll happen soon.

sounds like cowboys are working on putting a staff together now for Shotty.

If he's trying to save money then he's not in the correct job
This is an entertainment based business that you spend money to make money

There is one and i mean only one thing we cant argue with this owner on...thats how to make money...

You can make money even if you spend money its based on TV deals so the pie expands every year

How do you know that?

 

[CarolinaFathead]

I understand your grievance, but there is nothing this team can do to get me out. They can hire my neighbor Herb (who is an orthodontist that I refuse to go to) for the job and I’ll still be a fan.

You can still be a fan and join those of us who wish it all to burn down over here in Camp Apathy. Being apathetic AND a fan are not mutually exclusive from one another. In fact, at this point of Cowboys’s history, someone continuing to fervently support a failed, stagnant, and utterly incompetent regime like the Jones’s have created could be classified as less of a fan than me, who wants Jerry’s Team to go from “dumpster fire” setting to “uncontrollable wildfire” setting as fast as possible. He’s got to go and so do his nepotistic runts.

yeah and he pretty much has the biggest rating no matter the product on the field...i agree its a problem but he has seemed to master marketing..

Nice knowing you my man. I hate it too but it’s like a pig that likes slope, it’s happening unfortunately.

I'm already 90% out. I won't go to another game, buy any merch and last season was the first time I missed a few games or kept the game on in the background. I'm not giving up my time or money any longer on this fraud ownership who just takes from the fan base and cares more about their egos than actually winning. As a fan since 85 this is first time I could care less about the Cowboys thanks to the Jones family. Horrible ownership that destroyed a once great sports name. The Dallas Cowboys are a sports joke now.
