Offensive Coordinator

[cowboyec]

I wouldn’t be shocked if Brian Schottenheimer got the job. Word is if Quinn took a HC gig Brian would have been his OC

i read that he would've brought darren beville as his o.c. had he taken a hc gig.
hadn't heard that about schottenheimer.

 

[Tabascocat]

I’ll take anyone who isn’t in any way related to the Garrett offensive stench!

 

[noshame]

The only reason hes not sure about Kellen Moore is because Kellen may be leaving to coach somewhere else. if he decides to stay I'm sure that they'll welcome him back

 

[cowboyec]

kliff kingsbury is still my #1 if the job opens.
#2...brian johnson...who was at miss state when dak was there.

True, but let's take what you said and relay it to our current Offensive team. We certainly did not have anywhere near a solid roster, massive lack of weapons at receiver, Oline was constantly injured and having to play musical chairs as to who would start and at which position, plus the pass route concepts were pretty bad along with some of the playcalling, especially during situational key times. Yet, this Offense finished top 4 or better overall the past two seasons. Makes one wonder if it's smart to get rid of Kellen Moore or instead get him more help with coaching, scheming and weapons?

Get rid of Kellen. No brainer. You actually make a good case against Moore. It's funny how "massive lack of weapons at receiver" also allows a team to lead the league in points per game. Did you actually see Prescott's performance versus the Eagles? This complete nonsense about "he only had Cee Dee" is comical. Predictable but comical. So we need a pro-bowl TE, a pro-bowl RB, a few more pro-bowl WRs and then it's straight Super Bowl?

I don't understand how you can both blame and absolve Moore simultaneously. The pass route concepts and play-calling are in his wheelhouse...not to mention situational awareness issues.

When Murray was healthy the Birds were still in a cage . Not that impressed with Kingsbury to be honest . Here’s a name to add to the list . Mike Kafka QB coach Giants .

Jones had the best year of his career and for once the Giants escaped the miserable team they’ve been forever .

 

[RonWashington]

When I hear Schottenheimer I think of MM hiring Mike Nolan for his 6-10 defense year one ..

Stop with the personal friendship hires and get the best men through the door to interview . This is the Dallas Cowboys not Wisconsin south .

I mean its the same logic as Quinn I will take the chance that he is still an elite OC and just a bad coach

Trying to act like a wise-guy while acting like a clown is not a good way to reply. So you're saying Michael Irvin, Babe Laufenberg and so many other ex-players are wrong in stating this Offense definitely needs more and better receiving weapons? You know more than them?

McCarthy's Press conference could not commit to Kellen Moore, which might tend to tell you that he is not returning to Dallas.

Brian Schottenheimer could be the new OC.

But the shocker that majority of Dallas fans have to be happy with is Dan Quinn is returning!

Where in the video does it say this get me the video

 

[Coogiguy03]

Brian Schottenheimer's last season as O-Coordinator of the Jets under Rex Ryan was horrible. The Jets finished the 2011 season as the 25th ranked team in overall offense under Schottenheimer.

. He's horrible too?? He'll be our coach

As I've suggested in a thread that I opened, I think Jaguars QB coach Mike McCoy would be an outstanding choice for us. I think that he has a great track record for offenses, his specialty is QBs, and he's a Walsh tree guy like Mike is, so they share a lot in common. So, he'd mesh well with us while providing a different style for us.

LOOOL, brother!!!

You can stow the pejoratives. Just because someone has a different opinion than yours doesn't mean you need to devolve into name-calling. I really don't care what "they" think. There were enough weapons to beat the 49ers last Sunday. What you had was a quarterback who was completely off the reservation and killed his team's chances to win the game. Kellen Moore isn't helping him be better. Probably too many choice/option routes given Prescott's continued issues with his footwork. Moore should NEVER be trusted with properly running the football...which by extension HELPS Prescott be a better player. His route concepts sometime don't leave Prescott an underneath option. Too much empty set nonsense like having Elliot out wide while having no defense against a B-gap blitz which just puts Prescott into a bad position. I've been saying since LAST YEAR that Moore and Prescott are a dysfunctional pairing. The two of them together will never deliver a championship. They are BOTH inconsistent and you can see it in the vacillating performances by the offense since Prescott came back.

At the end of the day people need to believe again and that is when the rationalizations and excuse-making begins. You are not going to tell me that Hilton, Lamb, Schultz, Ferguson, Davis, Gallup and Brown is not enough firepower to win a playoff game against a seventh round rookie reading half the damn field. Not with the defense they brought to that game. I don't buy that you can't scheme these guys open and not FORCE the ball to the Lamb. If THAT is the extent of Moore's putative prowess then he can catch the first thing smoking out of Dallas on a one-way ticket.

It may well be that not enough talent can be put around Prescott (given the salary cap) to overcome his OWN issues, let alone Moore's issues as well. I do know that one of them needs to go and since it's obviously NOT going to be Dak then do the math.

 

[Ring6]

could McCarthy be waiting on Kellen's response to hearing he won't be calling plays any longer - McCarthy may think he can do better and its all on him this year with his DC probably here only one more year, and Payton lingering in TV Land one more year.

You make some good points, but not so good on others. This team definitely needs better weapons. CeeDee for the first time proved he can be a weapon. He became a #1 WR, albeit a low 1b. He's not a legitimately proven 1a receiver yet. Gallup is a legit #2, but he's no where near to being fully recovered. Since he came back from serious knee injury halfway through the season, he has played more like a #4 WR. Noah Brown and the rest are #4s or #5s WRs. The only legit #3 WR was the very late addition of T.Y. Hilton, so don't be saying this team has legit or enough weapons at WR, because it didn't. Everyone saw that. You're right about Moore, though, he was forced to coach with the lack of talent and weapons he had at WR this year.

Interesting. I agree with you both. And I have seen issues in how KM does not give Dak the what's the point position in his plays. I am not sure they are totally in sync. Too many times this season did the qb and receivers seem like they are on two different pages. Why is that? What causes that? That is the kind of confusion that needs to end for us to get over the hump. We need weapons but we need better plays that complement what we can do. Simple things like awareness (Dak), route running (Gallup), blocking (Schultz), and follow through (just about everyone).

 

[LysleE]

I know KM has some tendencies that don’t endear him to a large number of Dallas fans, but MM is the HC, he should be conferring with the QB Coach to figure out what Dak is proficient in and what plays he feels confident running, and then coordinate with the OC to formulate the game plan. I think another poster said that it looks like MM doesn’t want to get involved in play calling or game planning, when in fact that is precisely what he should be doing.
I watch an Eagles or Niners game and see coaches and coordinators collaborating…I see none of that in the Dallas sideline.

Just pay Kliff a ton of money and be done with it

Kliff is getting paid for the next 5 years from Zona. They just extended him last Summer. Talking about a dumb Owner
