Mike Pettine reports directly to Schotty!

[maryquality]

This must be an old picture. Stephen looks way OLDER now!! This is a better pic of him in his youth.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Will Pettine make a difference?

For a play or two then the usual

Don’t all coaches report to the Head Coach? I mean that’s always been the hierarchy

I agree, but tbf it’s not just been assumed: Parker’s comments (which reeked of arrogance and defensiveness tbh) indicated Pettine will be working under him.

I think Parker’s going to be in for a nasty surprise…

Thanks. I didn't see CP's comments. I can totally understand any defensiveness because it's just not a good look for him.

 

[CTcowboy203]

How is that different than any other coach? Don’t they all in someway report to schotty

 

[LouBrown]

He has had some good defenses in the past. He is more qualified to run the team then who we got now

He's...fine. His Green Bay defenses were pretty average.

I just don't think he represents some sort of magic bullet.

There is a story here.......

This is not a story.

George Edwards had the exact same role here in Dallas, reporting directly to McCarthy while he was supporting both Nolan and Zimmer

When Pettine was the Packers DC, Dom Capers came in as a defensive assistant and reported directly to McCarthy.

Jsut two years ago, in Cleveland, Vrabel was a senior assistant reporting to the HC, Stefanski.

But this is The Zone, where facts often yield to drama.

 

[jazzcat22]

Can't say I'm surprised. It's a cluster. IMO this is indicative that Shotty is on the hot seat, as is Parker.

No proof of that at this point. Fan hyperbole.

But that was with GB, it was genius of them. But it happens here, Jerry and the coaches are idiots.

 

[StylisticS]

LOL.

Jerry gonna Jerry.

And yall thought he changed

Yeah facts. A complete dysfunctional franchise right now.

 

[Kwyn]

Doubt it.

This is as dysfunctional as it gets.

The players are going to be even more confused. If that was possible.

This type of thing is a tradition in the NFL.

The Cowboys have done it many times

McCarthy and Edwards - (Quinn)
Tuna and Carthon - (Zimmer)
Kiffin and Garrett - (Marinelli)

Schottenheimer himself reported to McCarthy as an analyst brought in to help Quinn as a scout and game prep assistant.

 

[darthseinfeld]

2019 all over again

 

[thunderpimp91]

The only real issue here are the optics of it. It’s a very tough situation for CP and his humility will be tested.

If the defense shows improvement Mike Pettine is going to get the bulk of the glory right now. Cp needs to be heads down, drown out the noise, and only be focused on results.

Was he absent before the GB loss?

Regardless.

This is a bad look for a team that already is under a microscope constantly.

Get ready for the sports talk to have a field day.

Which is all Jerry cares about so. Win win for the Cowboys Marketing Team.
