Still not sold on our HC, but starting to get some Doug Pederson vibes

Just an affable get along to get along type of coach, wasn't the first second or third consideration and kinda tripped and fell into the job much to the fanbases dismay. But just had a little something in how he related to the players and handled the big egos in the lockeroom and the front office.

Maybe we can harness a bit of the same lightning.
 
I actually heard him interview quite a few times on the Fan etc while Mike was still the HC and always came away super impressed with the guy. He’s a fantastic communicator and that is what succeeds in this league now with this new generation.

Parker seems to be doing the same thing with the defense.

Did anyone "like" Jimmy Johnson or Tom Landry or Bill Parcells?

Nice guy Mike McCarthy was run out of town.

Garrett, Campo and Switzer were plenty likeable...how'd they do?
 
I thought it was a cheapskate goofy hire, but I was wrong.
He has handled Jerry better than anyone since Parcells.
He nods at what Jerry says then quietly sets about doing things the right way.
The team culture is much improved.
It has been unfortunate he kept guys playing hard and us out of the tank TBH.

Howell as the new Foles?

Still got arguably the best defensive player in the draft.
 
No matter who the HC is, a primary skill set has to include diplomacy. Dealing with an albatross like Jerry Jones is something few coaches are willing to endure.

It's not a matter of credentials, the options are exponentially diminished by this one reality.

How many noteworthy HC candidates would be willing to tolerate Jerry's interference?

Great HCs don't come to a team empty handed. They have a specific plan based on what they have seen during their ascension to the opportunity of being an NFL HC. They are looking for a chance to implement that plan.

The plan would include the style of offense and/or defense. He would need the right assistants and coordinators that understand his plan. he would need the players with the skill sets required.

Any decision made by another that contradicts his plan would be a major step backwards and delay any potential success.

Jerry Jones is the destroyer of plans and every Super Bowl winning HC he hired over the past 30 years left after their first contract.
 
Most of this is just hope but I see some Pete Carrol in him. And I am impressed with his confidence to bring in a hot young OC and now DC unlike Garrett and his retreads. But we'll have to see it on the field.

How exactly has Schotty "handled Jerry"? He's basically Jason Garrett 2.0...without the '94 Thanksgiving game nostalgia.
