Schotty gave a Good First Impression

[Jkyle]

I don't know how successful Shott will be, but his introduction as HC went pretty well.
He displayed some sense of authority and didn't seem a Deer in the Headlights person who knew he wasn't up for the job.
He didn't seem to be wearing Rose colored glasses and just a puppet for Jerry who was more cheerleader than coach.
The players, at least the Offense, seem to support the hire displayed by their presence at the Press conference.
I'm more worried about the resources player wise available to him being his biggest hindrance than of his coaching ability.

He wasn't as strong a communicator as I expected. Seemed a little too grateful and kind of shocked he got the job. Also he isn't mean enough.
In fairness, Stephen and Jerry were very shell shocked and uncomfortable given all the criticism they are receiving. That didn't set him up well.
BTW - Stephen being not very smart is killing the organization.

Perfect candidate for the Cowboys for two reasons.

1) Willing to try and make a top level NFL QB out of Dak Prescott. (Good luck there)

2) A young inexperienced guy that Jerry Jones can easily dictate stuff to.

Yeah I agree. I came away pretty underwhelmed, but had high expectations of him as a communicator. Seemed like a lot of generic media answers, but I'm not sure I came away from the PC with any additional information we didnt already know or any new reason to be optimistic.

 

[Zekeats]

He's gonna be Dave Campo good.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

You don't get deer in the headlights until the games start.

 

[JW82]

He seems like a very pleasant man. If thats what you mean, sure.

 

[HungryLion]

To be fair. There’s absolutely nothing he could have said or done at the press conference that was going to change my mind either way.

The only thing that will is winning.

Balls in his court now.

 

[GoCowboysGo]

BS said they will win a Super Bowl, if that’s not rose colored glasses I don’t know what is. Terrible presser, a word salad with a nothing burger.

 

[The Ominous]

He reminded me of Mr. Rogers. Not sure if that's good or bad regarding a football coach.

lol he is over 50 and is hardly inexperienced

 

[rags747]

He was in a suit, what do u want?!

Jane Thinks So..

I think that's a good observation. We'll find out in training camp how far he can be pushed before he turns into The Hulk.

 

[sjmike]

Of all the Head Coaches we've ever had, he's definitely one of them

I am hoping like heck when Jerry goes they sell the team. Or at least hire someone to be the GM at the very least.

 

[TX_Yid]

Dak is going to be elite and we're built to win soon.

He says the things Jerry wants to hear, but that no-one believes. Set the over under at 5 wins, this guy will be gone before the start of the next season.

 

[MarkP88]

Jane Thinks So..

Those don't seem like things anyone with half a brain would need notes for, but okay. (Unless she's referring to not consulting her own notes taken during the presser?)

In any case, we're basically in the position of having to hope that Jerry - not known for his acumen in selecting coaches, and well known for his contempt for coaches - saw something in BS that nobody else in the NFL saw over the course of his numerous coaching stops.

 

[fivetwos]

See it how you wish….but the answer to the question “why Schottenheimer?”

Because he provides the best chance for right now to remain relevant and not have to try to sell a 3-4 win team, since Dak doesn’t have to learn a new offense.

Oh and he apparently is working for less than several coordinators in the league. That too.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I don't think he came off very well. He was much better and more confident in his weekly coordinator PCs. Frankly, he seemed kind of weak today.

Hopefully it was just first-day nerves. I just hope this stage isn't too big for him.
