What Pete Carroll told Jerry about Brian Schottenheimer

[Cowboysfandarin]

Like the decision or not, the man is there and he’s in the position. And we as fans need to give him the chance to prove himself. He knows what he signed up for. I think there’s a chance he may surprise us all.

Oh boy, some will not like this. And invent some negativity.


Good to hear this actually from a HC that some can respect.

I think he will be fine. My worry is not the staff, it’s the roster

Give him the talent and see what he can do. My worry is the roster, not the staff

Carroll knew Shottenheimer was so ready for a HC position that he fired him as OC.

If you love something, let it go

He was so good as an O coordinator that he was fired. He was so respected in NFL circles that he never got so much as an interview for a head coach position by any other team than the Cowboys.

He interviewed with the Jets. He was requested to interview with the Bills and turned down the interview!

I get it but it’s exactly what makes me hesitant to buy in. A play caller who was let go for becoming too passive happy? The same play caller was the OC for the cowboys last season where a major issue is they were too….pass happy? I get the run first talk sounds great, and he’s assembled a coaching staff to support it, but I need to see it in action and see this front office actually go get some guys to run the football effectively.

The only times in his career as a play caller that the QB didn’t throw 500 passes were when Rex told him to, Sanchez rookie season and when his starting QB got hurt. He relies heavily on a lot of play action… it’s basically the Coryell with some aspects of west coast!
