Schottenheimer - We're building a team. We're not just collecting talent.

[MountaineerCowboy]

I don’t know any poster that is more negative than you. How do you even survive this world? Do you even go outside to the real world? Are you this negative with friends and family??

You're making a lot of assumptions based on a Dallas Cowboys message board.

You like what Lord Jerry tells you to like. I form my own opinions.

I'm not assuming anything about you outside of this forum based on you liking what you're told by Jerry Jones.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Your question is extreme and your statement is ridiculous. It is not about trusting Jerry or loving every decision He makes

All I said was let the man coach. Your reasons for condemning him, Jerry chose him and He has been around the league for a long time, are not valid

With Dak and Jerry and the Division improving He more then likely will fail but do not act like "You said it 1st"

The man obviously has a vision and is in the process of implementing it. It appears to be an emphasis on Running the Football which is evident by the high investment in a Mauler at Guard. A move I like very much

All we can do is give the guy a chance at the moment it is our only option because this team is an absolute mess until number #4 is gone

9 teams let him coach.

They dumped him or demoted him.

If you can tell me one other coach that went through a path like that and was successful then I'll give him a chance.

"Establishing cultures, building a team, not just collecting talent..." I guess newly minted HC's say things like this to satisfy the boss and impress the casual fans.
I kind of like the "You are who your record says you are. (sic)" quote from a HC. In Schottenheimer's case, the "Rome wasn't built in a day." type quote fits better.

I’m starting to love my head coach;

No other coach came from the college ranks and built a team the way Jimmy Johnson did until he did it.

Bill Belichick was fired by the Browns. Pete Carroll was fired by the Jets AND Patriots. Andy Reid was fired by the Eagles.

Brian Schottenheimer was never a head coach before because even he recognized he was not ready. At age 51 he is not that old as far as NFL head coaches go. He's paid his dues and learned a lot. Let's at least give him a chance months before he even coaches his first game.

Cool.

Now if you can tell me another coach that went through 9 other teams, basically a quarter of the league, and became a successful HC I will give him a chance.

I don't care about other coaches that got fired as HC's and went on to be great HCs. Schottenheimer has been fired or demoted by basically a quarter of the league and Dallas, where you fail up, is the only place that thinks he's HC material. When last year they didn't even think enough of him to make him a real OC. They gave him the fake title while McCarthy ran the offense.

You can't do it because it's not happened. I don't need to give him a chance. The burden of proof is on him and the Cowboys to prove that he's not a loser. It's not on me to believe in him just because Lord Jerry tells us too.

He told us what he was going to do and, so far, that’s what he’s doing.

The team may well be middle of the pack again next year but it’s nice to see that there at least appears to be a plan and a thought out coaching approach.

Jason Garrett always had a coherent plan.

 

[Jumbo075]

Didn’t you quit the board? Did you feel it was safe to stick your toe in the water again? Why don’t you run along again with your tail between your legs as usual.

Ignore the facts that contradict your argument, and attack the person proving you wrong.

Dude, you should be an activist in journalism. You qualify.

Apparently you don't know Rockport's history. After a PM, I do and it is not good, at all! I know his game now better than I thought.

 

[stilltheguru]

We'll know what he's about when a player makes a dumb mistake during the game like a personal foul. If he stats quiet like Garrett did he's the same puppet as him.

 

[Blue&Silver]

We are building a team, but so is the rest of the division. Washington had a good draft, Giants I'm just not sure. Eagles, take notice spent most of their draft on defense.. It's not going to be easy.

 

[Rockport]

lol.. at least give the guy a chance...

If he is crap then go at it.. you are writing him off before he's even HC'd a game.

Ignore him. He does nothing here but try to stir up trouble.

 

[Rockport]

What's your point?
Every off season, we see 5-7 head coaches fired. I'm sure those teams thought they had the right guy. As stated before, there's no evidence to prove Schotty will be any less successful than any other first-time rookie head coaches. For example, nothing special stood out about Andy Reid, John Harbaugh, Dan Campbell or Mike Tomlin but they have enjoyed outstanding success.

Honestly, I had my reservation about Schotty initially but after listening to some of his former head coaches ( including Pete Carroll, who fired him ) and the fact he spent his entire life around the game with Mardy, convinced me. It's early he won me over
****turned down two previous HC interviews/offers coz he didn't think he was ready.
****hired a number of outside assistnace coaches, NOT stacking his staff with former coaches he's worked with or friends ( see Kellen Moore ).
****this may seem small it appears he has excellent communication skills. It what separates Harbaugh, Campbell and Tomlin....ability to manage people on all levels, especially under pressure.

Don’t give this yahoo the time of day. He’s a troll who does nothing here but spew hate. Put him on ignore and you’ll thank me.

Easy, dude came in like a white knight to defend the board fan ref. It’s been peaceful without the drunk around and his “hater” BS. Now he’s back. lol

 

[dreghorn2]

I really dislike the nickname Schotty.

It just seems so disrespectful for a head coach.

You don't know the half of it. He/she PM me and said I don't like Micah because he is black! I told him/her to shove that crap and that if I did not like Micah because he is black I would have to not like 90% of the damn team!

But, that is not the worse he/she had to say to me and I will not belittle myself and reveal the rest like he/she did.

Oh he’s been that way since he joined this site. That’s not surprising at all. I’m sure his exchange with you is part of the reason he split as I’m confident you’re not the only he’s done it to. I’m pretty sure he’s made some horrible accusations publicly and the way he comes off as a superior fan and polices everyone else on how to fan or the whole “h8ter” BS he’s done for years is tiresome. He should’ve stayed gone, but I assume he’s probably put all of us who call his nonsense out on ignore now. I find amusing that others have come to “white knight” for him. He needs help.
