Signed by Cowboys Scott Tolzien new QB coach

[Cowboys93]

McCarthy is going to live or die by his hires this year. Personally based on that idc who he hires

 

[JohnsKey19]

I love every bit of it. We have said for years that Jerry needs to get out of the way and let the Head Coach hire his own staff. Mike McCarthy is hiring his own staff. The fact is, every successful coach, in any sport, has been an "unknown" at some point.

Didn't McCarthy bring in a lot of his guys in 2020?

Light resume..........very light

I find it hard to believe MM couldn't find a QB coach with a stronger resume.........lazy hire

So can we assume that Schotthemeir will do more work with Dak than the new QB will ?

Here's his profile

He did. Nolan, Tomsula, Rob Davis

Dumpster diving on coaches now. Must be too hard to pass the concessions inflation on to the fans. Guy has NEVER been a QB coach. What the hell can he teach? Dak doesn’t have a chance.

... Joe Philibin, Scott Curley...

Hey, we got rid of all these coaches .. but let's just promote the guys that worked under them. I smell success incoming.

McCarthy apparently deciding him to be the new QB coach, ..based off personally knowing him in GB as a player,..and his current time here as a quality control coach assistant.

Just my guess work, but maybe Tolzien will help carry on the footwork, positioning, and throwing mechanics necessary for the new West Coast offense.

- just like Kellen Moore, the bulk and biggest key with be Schottenhemeir to Dak Prescott.

This is what Jerry does.

They have some success. But instead of upgrading they decide to run it back with lesser coaching / talent.

Welp, clear it's a make or break year for MM....either we get further in the playoffs or we blow it up and start over. Both are results that I'm good with

 

[beware_d-ware]

Tolzien's resume is pretty much "hanging out with McCarthy in the QB room at GB."

I think position coach hires are pretty overblown - NFL vets already know the drill there - but McCarthy's habit of hiring his friends to his staff is very concerning. That's how we got Mike Nolan in 2020.

I agree for the most part.

Chiefs had a good QB Coach in Matt Nagy. Eagles had up and coming Brian Johnson

We need to start a pool.

How many games for Big Mike and his merry men.
I'm opening with 3.

Not only is it disappointing for Dak's progress, different teaching - fundamentals, seeing the field, decision making. Job's a QB coach is usually tasked with. How is this guy who's never been any sort of QB coach before gonna teach up a low round draft pick if we take one ?
It just doesn't make much sense this staff.

I guess........after all, he's probably doing all the leg work of the game plan during the week.

Actually, I could see this.......giving Dak a coach he can lean on 24/7 regarding the WCO.

This is a lame duck year for McCarthy… no one new will come aboard!!!

 

[Rayman70]

We like our guys is universal with the entire team, I guess.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

No assistant or position coach would come here. McCarthy might be on his last year, I wouldn't leave another job to come here if I was a coach either. So we're gonna get a bunch of trash that no one else wants. I, for one think this is a good thing. McCarthy lied to get the job and now he's gonna have to really coach.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

LOL....said the same thing. He's on his own.......it appears he knows it, by surrounding himself with old coaches he knows and trusts.
