Video: Schottenheimer Press Conference

[gimmesix]

I think the OC was brought in to run his scheme. Schotty doesn't have a scheme from this decade.

Guy hasn't run a top 5 offense in his career. So I actually hope its Adams and not Schotty to be honest.

He's had the top-ranked rushing offense a few times and No. 1 red zone offense at least once. In his last stop before coming here, he had the sixth-, ninth and eighth-ranked scoring offenses in Seattle, but yeah, not top five. Those teams were top 10 in rushing and red zone but in the teens in or lower in passing yards and third-down efficiency. It will be interesting to see what Adams is allowed to add to the mix.

Looking forward to yours.

What was your season prediction last year again?

What is it this year? Let me guess. Playoff bound?

What was it the year before last? What did that clown predict that year?

How miserable must eagle fandom be to spend it here being a cowboy fan

 

[BHendri5]

You’d be comfortable too if you’re getting paid handsomely to not make any decisions or have any control.

He was fake OC last year. He’s fake HC next year.

Nothing fake about any of it

This is correct. He's like the kid who gets admitted to a top university because his dad in the oil business donates to the school. So-called legacy admissions.

He wouldn't have the job if his last name wasn't Shottenheimer.

That said, I'm gonna give him a shot before I ream him too hard.

 

[rambo2]

Shout out to Hunter. Not so much for Deuce…

Glad to see that Luepke has a shot at making the team.

 

[Rayman70]

Shotty is using the mental mindset aspect of what it takes to enstill a belief in what we are doing to win. Speaking it into existence, unafraid to go there .

 

[KJJ]

Schotty is well spoken and sounds like a nice guy, maybe too nice. He says all the right things but doesn’t sound like someone real demanding. He doesn’t sound like the type of coach that’s going to build a tough, physical team. Listening to him doesn’t fire me up.

 

[NDGAEDE]

He was the OC last year though.

Are you saying he...... was...a....fake OC?

Mike called the plays last year. Not every OC calls the plays. Did you watch any games or do you just come in here to mess with people?

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

The feeling isn’t mutual.

Haha!

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

He's not afraid to say he wants us to be the best in the league. That's a lot better than the standard "Well, we're taking it one day at a time." type of talk

It's the same thing every new coach says everywhere.

You put this guy in a time machine and make him the head coach of last years team, do we win a single game more? No

We need better players, we need a GM, and we need a new culture (which will never happen with our current "GM")

Everything else is a waste

Great job reading a speech from a paper though and answering rehearsed questions. I'm sure that will help come Novembe, December and January

 

[ScipioCowboy]

So I really wanted him gone after last season, and now he's the HC. We'll see I guess. I will say I enjoyed the press conference, and he seems smarter than MM for what it's worth. Though not holding my breath. He was a mediocre journeyman. Fingers crossed he somehow makes a better HC.

MM was playing a character. All schtick.

Why don’t you answer the question?

What was your perfection last year and what is it this year?

 

[phildadon86]

He has said from day 1 that he is calling plays.

He’s calling plays. Doesn’t mean they are his.

 

[KingCorcoran]

Looking forward to your future posts once the season starts.

Few head coaches have ever won Super Bowls with a quarterback they “inherited”. Sirianni notwithstanding.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Mike called the plays last year. Not every OC calls the plays. Did you watch any games or do you just come in here to mess with people?

So he was a fake OC?

Got it.

 

[rambo2]

Few head coaches have ever won Super Bowls with a quarterback they “inherited”. Sirianni notwithstanding.

What's that got to do with this season?

 

[rambo2]

Why don’t you answer the question?

This year I see 10 wins.

 

[KingCorcoran]

What's that got to do with this season?

New head coaches to a team, particularly first time head coaches, tend to start making progress when they have a quarterback they select to be their QB1.

Is Schottenheimer going to spend his first season as HC adapting to his QB1 or is his 10th year QB1 going to adapt to him. Fair question. Either way this is not a Super Bowl year for Dallas. In light of the Cowboys’ division and schedule, the playoffs are very unlikely.

 

[NDGAEDE]

So he was a fake OC?

Got it.

It's like talking to a wall.
