Where Brian Schottenheimer stands among NFC East head coaches

[Aven8]

All I know is he will be our HC longer than Daboll will be the Gents HC. That dude sucks.

 

[beware_d-ware]

I think Daboll is a good coach trapped in a bad situation, and Sirianni is a bad coach who inherited a good situation.

DQ's been around long enough so that we know what he is - a high energy culture guy who isn't a top dog schematically. For a team whose #1 job was cleaning the stink of Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen out of the building, I think he was a strong hire. Schotty is a proven mediocrity who would have probably fell to the college ranks 10 years ago if he had a different last name.

Ranking them, I'd say it goes DQ --> Daboll --> Sirianni --> Rowdy --> Schottenheimer.

Shott doesnt stand anywhere as an NFL HC yet, no games coached.

 

[noshame]

Right now, I'd go with a strong fourth.
End of the season I'd go with McDonalds

 

[KJJ]

Team potential, that is the only reason.

Based on the last few seasons we do have the better team or at least did. Team success does reflect on the HC. For me Schotty has to prove we can have some success with him as HC. He has to win some games before I’ll put him ahead of any of the coaches in the division. He’s starting at the bottom and has to work his way up.

You gotta love the preseason......all sunshine and rainbows. I had no idea who this guy was until he was hired.....solid 4th for me.

 

[Johannes44]

How could he not be last?

He’s done nothing, ever, at any place he’s ever coached.

Hasn’t even distinguished himself as a good OC

Brian Daboll is a good NFL HC, and a great example of how you’re screwed without a QB.

Sirianni--Quinn--Daboll--Schott. Schott has to get a year of HC'ing under his belt before he can assessed as a HC.

Sirianni: Players stick by him. He makes mistakes but doesn't let them linger--as a CEO head coach he fixes issues, takes the heat, and rolls on. He is actually a very good decision-maker in game. Rarely does he cost his team a game. Roseman gave him the closest thing I've seen to an elite roster in years, and he's not afraid to use it. He doesn't coach scared, and even his crazy decisions are based around the abilities of the team. Is he brash? Yes. Does he look like a ******-face? Yes. Does he win? Sure does, and that's all that matters. Many coaches have had excellent rosters and failed. According to a number of posters on this board, his QB sucks yet he still wins. Hmm...

Dan Quinn: Anyone who can walk into the pit of despair build by Dan Snyder and come out in one year with a NFCCG appearance deserves respect. I salute you! Sure, he got lucky a few games last year, but he made the most out of the talent he was given and exceeded expectations. I don't consider the beatdown his team took from Philly in the NFCCG a mark against him. Philly was just a better team and it showed. I'm happy for Dan Quinn and hope he continues to do well, except when he plays against us.

Brian Daboll: He looked like the next best thing in coaching his first year. Took a just above average Giants team, and with a spoonful of luck, went deep into the playoffs before getting curb stomped by a superior Philly team. But the past two years he holds a 9-25 record. Bad QB'ing, bad decisions in and out of game, and bad drafting (especially on the o-line) makes me wonder how him and Schoen weren't fired after last year. If the Giants finished under .500 this year, I am 99.5% certain they are both gone.

Schotty: Can't give him any grade or write-up because he hasn't coached an NFL game as a head coach yet. I have hopes and wish him the best. I hope Jerrah doesn't interfere too much.

For most coaches approaching their rookie year as an NFL Head Coach, just winning more games than you lose is a big win.

Maybe getting into the playoffs would be an added bonus. But winning it all in their first year?

If you said, “Inconceivable!” you, like Vizzini, are using that word, and it might not mean what you think it does.

And there’s your obscure 1980s film reference for the offseason.

Brian Schottenheimer will be a rookie head coach this fall for the Dallas Cowboys. Over the last 28 years, he has been an assistant coach in some capacity for nine NFL teams and two college teams.

The previous three years he was with the Cowboys, the last two serving as Mike McCarthy’s offensive coordinator.

The son of long-time NFL Head Coach Marty Schottenheimer, the Cowboys’ new leader has the pedigree, if not the experience.

But can that translate into quick success? Especially in the postseason where the Cowboys have struggled in the last three decades?

Thanks for waking up the haters!! They're funny as ever.
As for BS, he should be last. Dabol coaches in a tough environment and they let his best player walk. Doesn't mean that ever HC is better than every rookie....that's why HCs are fired and rookies take their place.

Plus, letting their RB walk

 

[Chuck 54]

Our coach is a first time head coach who hasn’t had his own team play a single game yet. He plans to call plays, which he hasn’t done in some time.

He has to be at the bottom for now, but I have high hopes.

Plus, letting their RB walk

True, but he probably wouldn’t have had the same impact in NY as he did in Philly. He was the final piece there.

Remember when Jerry told us that Henry wouldn’t have had the same season in Dallas as he did in Baltimore (essentially) because they arent as good? Same thing.

This after he did zero to improve a team that he said was “close.” Not sure why some are baffled over fans being pissed off.

I don't mean this as a knock on Schottenheimer, but if we are looking at things honestly he has to be at the bottom of the list. I mean honestly if the Cowboys had just let him walk would he even have landed a coordinator job? Possible, but I would doubt it.
