All in all, a waste of an hour, and Jerry and Stephen continue to think they're the smartest guys in the room, while also being completely unable to pitch any hope to fans. In fact, I got the distinct impression that they think fans are stupid and shouldn't be pissed.

Brian may have good ideas and seems like a great guy, but holy ****, there's not a single soul that will succeed in the middle of that idiot sandwich

I will say Brian seemed far more intelligent and presented more of a plan than the braintrust

My takeaway - Schottenheimer seems to be a genuinely nice man who is earnest and positive. But, there may not be a worse place to be a first time head coach, given the spotlight and the two empty suits who surrounded him on the dais. Schottenheimer is the kind of person who you would want to root for, and would probably be a good person to hang out with. However, he has not been especially successful or creative in his prior haunts as a coordinator, and does not seem to have the personality that would allow him to put the Joneses in their place.

Classic hope for the best, but expect the worst with this.

Trainwreck over.

That was an unmitigated disaster.
They had all weekend (plus two weeks after the season) to come up with 'here's our 4 year plan under Schottenheimer to do XYZ better' and they couldn't do it. Because there is no plan. There never was. Never will be. No free agency, only money management. No scheme improvements, only terminology changes. No personnel changes, only continuity.
