Signed by Cowboys Mike Solari new OL coach

[big dog cowboy]

Does it make me sound old if I said I remember him from his first stint with the Cowboys?

 

[Stash]

Yep. Here's a man who inspires confidence. (insert sarcasm)

I think you’d feel better if you looked at his resume.

 

[pansophy]

They are interviewing OC's though. Mike will be the playcaller I thought.

OC's that don't call plays don't get to install their own offense. They are more assistants to the HC.

This reinforces my belief that Brian Schottenheimer will be the new offensive coordinator.

 

[Jarntt]

The rest of the league is hiring guys in their 30's and 40's. Jerry knows the sweet spot is social security eligible

Looking at the numbers holistically, the Seahawks were consistently average in the run blocking department under Solari's tutelage. Outstanding play at the running back position as well as Wilson's legs elevated the team's rushing yardage totals more than blocking by the offensive line did and considering the investments made by the front office, the group didn't quite perform up to standard and couldn't quite get over the hump of mediocrity.

Fascinating that he served under Landry. Full circle after all this time that we have an old Landry coach from just before Jerry bought the team.

 

[XXLMike]

He was terrible in Seattle - moves like this will see MM as a guest on CBS game day week 12 after Dan Quinn is named interim HC.

OL coach in Seattle when Brian Schottenheimer was their OC from 2018-2020.

There are worse choices I guess. He was OC when RW had his best seasons and his NFL stints ended with team overhauls and dysfunction - after Urban Meyer, after Rex Ryan and in Seattle after Wilson seemed to start sucking he was blamed.

 

[Vinnie2u]

He’s 68 years old

AARP discount?

Fascinating also, curious. Very curious. Not only did he coach under Landry, but he was also the oline coach in the 90s with SFO including the Slant game and the one where we lost to them in the NFCC. *shrugs* must be good to be still coaching after all these years.

Bingo. This is the answer why

 

[Tussinman]

Unless im remembering wrong, i thought Seattles oline was garbage during this time and saw Wilson running for his life quite often

They where okay against the run but spotty at best in pass protection.

Some of it was no talent (Duane Brown who was pushing mid 30s at the time was by far their best lineman). That's why Wilson was vocal in the 2020 season about how they needed to better at the line (front office wasn't using day 1 or day 2 picks on o-line and they weren't signing legit o-line talent in free agency)

That statement is just hilarious.

Thanks, saves me the time it takes to look it up. Yeah, Schottenheimer seems to be the guy since they brought his buddy in.

Yeah. I’m thinking he took the fall for that goal line pass in the Super Bowl but I’ll have to recheck.

Nah. Just checked, that was Bevell.

I was being facetious, hence the sarcasm insert.

 

[Cowboyny]

I hate this hire, they should of gotten more of a modern OL coach who excels in today's concepts, not one 30 years ago. Solari has always been a good coach, but he is totally old schooled.
