I’m not concerned about it, just never heard of a team opening OTA’s with a game of paintball. There’s others questioning Schotty’s approach. He’s never been a head coach at any level prior to this job. That’s concerning!
I don’t keep up with what other teams do during their OTA’s, so I wouldn’t know. What I do know is other teams do these type of things quite often. And it seems to me if you are going to do it, it makes sense to do so during the voluntary, non-contact portion before the serious business starts.
You just said you don’t keep up with what other teams during their OTA’s, then said you do know other teams do these type of things quite often. You just contradicted yourself.
No one has to grasp for reasons to be concerned with Schotty as the HC. Even Jerry admitted hiring him was a risk. He was one of the last people the fanbase wanted at head coach. Many in the media questioned it. Even Michael Irvin didn’t like the hire and he’s a huge Cowboys homer.
Well, that should put this to bed … but it won’t.
No contradiction. All you have to do is check my earlier post where after a 2 minute search, I included articles of other teams doing paintball, escape rooms, and even Pilates.You just said you don’t keep up with what other teams during their OTA’s, then said you do know other teams do these type of things quite often. You just contradicted yourself.
If you are concerned about Irvin’s feelings, why not also consider the newest feelings he expressed after visiting OTA’s? Is it because the newest feelings expressed don’t fit a narrative?
Your gut is wrong. My mind won’t be made up on Schotty until we see how we look this season. We have no choice but to give him a chance. I take it you were on board hiring him?
I don’t care about Irvin’s feelings, he’s a homer. I really don’t enjoy listening to him. We’re just wasting our time with this. I wasn’t happy about Schotty being hired but he might end up being a good HC. I wouldn’t bank on but anything is possible.
If you are withholding judgement, why are you so critical? Has there been anything he has done so far that you feel could potentially be positive?
I’m a critical fan. I’ve been critical of a lot of things. I was critical of things Jimmy did after we went 1-15. You can’t make a final judgement until we see what kind of team we field this season. Nothing about Schotty makes me feel real positive. No head coaching experience at any level. He seems pretty low key which makes you wonder if the players will buy in and fight for him. There’s really nothing about his friendly, easy going, laid back demeanor that makes me feel confident that he can build a tough, physical team.
There really isn’t any point continuing to discuss it. Everyone has an opinion of Schotty. Like I’ve said we’ll see how it goes this season.
Irvin’s feelings isn’t justification for anything. I mentioned him because he’s a homer. His feelings often fluctuate. He’s predicting the Cowboys will go 12-5 with a 3 game losing streak later in the season.
He wanted Deion as the HC. I’m thankful he’s not part of management. Loved him as a player but put much stock into a lot of what he says.
There were reasons to be critical after going from 3-13 to 1-15. No one expected that. It made many question everything Jimmy was doing. I thought we would at least win 5-6 games in 89. To go from real bad to even worse was totally unexpected. Why would I stop watching after the loss in SB X? The Cowboys weren’t expected to be very good that season. They had just missed the playoffs the previous season for the first time since the mid 60s.
Sure you did.
