Is Brian Schottenhiemer willing to be great?

[leeblair]

Is Brian Schottenhiemer willing to stand up to Jerry and make the change that will probably be needed this season?
I get that it's his turn to turn Dak Prescott into a winner. If Schottenheimer is for real, he knows this is his test. Assuming he is for real, I imagine that he believes that he can coach Dak and make him into the elite quarterback he has been paid to be for the past four years, but hasn't.
He probably feels that he can instill the traits into Dak that others have failed at. Any real coach would want to believe that he could. He probably thinks he can turn up the pressure and discipline on Dak during camp and end his tendency to choke under pressure when the game gets too big. It's what I would do if I was saddled with Dak as a quarterback. I would put him in very uncomfortable game type situations and demand that he step up and perform. I would ride him to the point that he dreaded hearing my voice, trying to instill discipline that would not allow him to give way to fear.
But will Jerry allow it?
And if that fails, as it likely will, is Schottenheimer willing to make a stand against Jerry and replace him?
That is the test that Schottenheimer faces.
His legacy and the success of the Cowboys hinges on how this one battle is decided.

 

[ShortRound]

I’ll have what he’s having

 

[Bullflop]

I’ll have what he’s having

No telling what that is, but it must be pretty potent.

 

[DallasEast]

This is fantastical thinking in a narcissist's world.

Schotty wants to be loved and thought of as a football guru without the credentials.
He had no chance of becoming an NFL coach until that hick, Yoda, came along.
Shotty was a desperation pick when no other credible coach would take on the job as Yoda's subordinate.
Of course, he won't stand up to Yoda. Schotty is not altogether stoopid. He needs the job and the title of HC when no one else would bite.

I have to believe that some of Marty is in Brian.
Marty was a good coach. If Brian wants to be great, he will have to make a stand.
Otherwise he'll just be another waste of a position.

Right now it looks as though all he cares about is being every ones best bud

 

[Coogiguy03]

Stopped at the first sentence

 

[leeblair]

Right now it looks as though all he cares about is being every ones best bud

I wonder if he is just getting them accustomed to him as a head coach but will turn up the intensity when it matters.
Sometimes a new coach has to ease into his role but when the lights come on he is a different person.
Unless he intends to babysit, he will have to assert himself at some point.

Yeah I'd say 50%.

How would I answer your question? Opened ended questions are a waste of time.

You really believe there was not a coach that wanted to be the Dallas Cowboys Head Coach? Come on man!!!

 

[ShiningStar]

Not only this but to add on, why do some fans still think its the coveted seat? any self respected HC is NOT coming here, they know the deal.

Jerry and Shotty.

 

[KJJ]

I’ll have what he’s having

I wouldn’t advice it.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I wouldn’t advice it.

Could you imagine Coog if he did?

 

[KJJ]

Could you imagine Coog if he did?

With as much as he posts it’s a scary thought.

It is too soon to post this, maybe next season.
Good grief lets see this first shotty season 1st lol.

Let me add, there is no way any HC would be allowed to bench a QB they just signed to a 60mil per year contact !!
The only way another QB plays in this season or next is if dak gets hurt.
They cant cut or trade dak until 2027 is just isnt feasible money wise.

People keep saying get rid of dak, when is just isnt possible not until 2027.
You guys need to accept that, and quit whining about dak, your stuck with him unless he gets hurt again.

Marty was a good coach. But he had the Dak effect: regular season success but wilting in the big games.
