Is Brian Schottenhiemer willing to be great?

This has to be a parody account.

Charles Schultz would have sued a long time ago if, you know, he hadn't already died 25 years ago, lol.

Actually, the point is for Brian Schottenhiemer to answer it.
I know it's a long shot, but the hope is that somehow someone makes him aware of the question, and that the answer he gives will determine his fate.

#Shotty is a career back bencher. Due to nepotism he was anointed a coaching star only to suck at every stop. Now at 50ish he gets his first crack at head coaching because our drunken old codger needs a yes man. No other team would even consider #Shotty a HC candidate. There is ZERO chance he will be anything other than a pandering lap dog for Jerry and his fatso Nepo baby.

For the love of God stop getting sucked.

Another one who doesn’t know that football is a team sport.

I see you continue to repeat this without the sense to understand that we are talking about someone who is part of said team and plays a position that is the fulcrum of said team all the while claiming that he is some incredible leader of men.

 

[Johannes44]

When you say 'on Jones' payroll' do you mean Garrett as a player?

No. I mean Jason Garrett as a coach. He was a QB coach, then an OC with Tony Sporano when Parcells was HC. Then OC under Wade before being given the HC gig.

 

[fivetwos]

If he were inclined to “stand up to Jerry” he wouldn’t have the job in the first place.

I understand. I have already referenced Garrett's coaching resume. He was the Dolphins' quarterback coach for barely two years. It was at that time Jones hired him as his offensive coordinator.

Garrett's time from his initial hiring to elevation, through his interim head coaching stint, to his promotion to head coach was his incubation period in Jones' head. Jones put Garrett through his planned head coach-in-training session that existed from the moment he hired someone as a COORDINATOR with basically no experience in being a coordinator.

^ That was a huge commitment made by Jones. He has not done the same for Schottenheimer, who, again, was an afterthought in his head when he initially let Mike McCarthy's contract expire.

Jones never hyped Schottenheimer as the next big thing in NFL history. On the other hand, Jones hyped Garrett as the next Tom Landry from jump. That is a big difference in commitment from the pretend GM.

 

[Rockport]

Oh, I know it well.
And it is a pathetic coach that allows the entire team to suffer because of one player.
It's bad enough when it's any other position, but to allow incompetence at the most important position to sabotage the effort of the rest of the players- that is unacceptable.

 

[Rockport]

I see you continue to believe that the team is made up of only 1 person.

See, as obtuse as ever.

All standing up to Jerry gets you in Dallas is fired.

Jerry suŕrounds himself with yes men ...... if you do not kiss his arse ....... your unemployed

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.

The minute Schotty stands up to Jerry he will suddenly find himself standing in the unemployment line.

 

[Ranching]

I’ll have what he’s having

Prune juice? That's a lot of crap being flushed! Lol

Yep, much like the real world....he's got to pay his bills.

 

[Bullflop]

I will buy you an Earth Wind and Fire ticket if you share.

I'm just as confused as you are, but I'll venture a guess that it's either something alcoholic or illegal.

 

[Rockport]

See, as obtuse as ever.

See, as ignorant as ever.

 

[plasticman]

You are what your record says you are.

Schotty is 0-0 as an NFL Head Coach.

He will not be judged by his regular season record. Fair or unfair, it will all come down to getting the Cowboys into the NFC championship game.....for starters.

Since the NFL merger in 1970, 277 head coaches have been hired. 29 of them have won a Super Bowl. That is 10.5%.

This doesn't mean that 89.5% of all NFL HCs were bad HCs. Head coach of a professional sports team is probably one of the least secure careers in the world.

Every NFL HC goes into their new job knowing that the odds are stacked against them. Just accepting the job is proof that they are willing to be great despite the low success rate.

This is by far one of the most childish and uninformed posts ever. Do you seriously think coaches think like that?

Utterly stupid. Not even up for debate.

But hey you are an attention where with limited football knowledge who knows leadership since as you claim you led a bunch of 6 year old to baseball championship of your neighborhood league

Speaking of first-time ever head coaches like Brian Schottenheimer... I believe there have only been a dozen to coach their teams to an AFC or NFC conference championship game during their rookie season:

• Don McCafferty (Colts/1971)
• Red Miller (Broncos/1977)
• George Seifert (49ers/1989)
• Barry Switzer (Cowboys/1994)
• Steve Mariucci (49ers/1997)
• Bill Callahan (Raiders/2002)
• Sean Payton (Saints/2006)
• John Harbaugh (Ravens/2008)
• Rex Ryan (Jets/2009)
• Jim Caldwell (Colts/2009)
• Jim Harbaugh (49ers/2011)
• Matt Lafleur (Packers/2019)

I have to believe that some of Marty is in Brian.

There is, they’re both cryers. Brian admitted that at his introductory PC. Marty was a great coach but he never even reached a SB. He had a number of real good teams that kept coming up short. The Cowboys biggest problem the past 30 years is getting over the hump. Good luck getting over the hump with a Schottenheimer.

I think Brian could be more than we think, but if he lays down for Jerry he will be blamed.
Jerry isn't about to admit his $400 million dollar baby is the biggest bust in NFL history.
If he trashed McCarthy, he won't have any problem letting Brian be next.
