Will this be the end of the Schottenheimer Experiment?

had the Irsay daughter scribbling furiously on her note pad.

Schotty picking on female, non-combatants is not a high bar.

Now there's a blast from the past. I'm sure the younger members have no idea who that is!! I remember Fran would scramble A LOT, and then throw a pass down the field for 60 yards!! LOL

Took them to what 4 SB’s and him and Bud Grant lost all 4

Yeah....Minny was the Buffalo Bills of the NFC with no Super Bowl wins and 4 appearances!! LOL

Only if he fails to make the playoffs. Jerry hates paying coaches that are no longer working for him. That contract runs through the 2028 season.

Im assuming they miss but if they make the playoffs that would increase his chances but it would depend on how they do lose by 50 he's still fired.

 

[OGSixshooter]

Which will win: Jerry's stubborn pride or his gambling ways to do the unconventional? Or is the unconventional keeping the coach and satisfying his stubborn pride?

Ask yourselves: What did Jerry do after the GB debacle? He wasted an entire season with MM. ENTIRE SEASON.

Exactly

You trads guys to improve your draft picks and gain more picks. I get we dont have our first but we still have our 2nd and that could improve.

I don't recall Jerry ever selling and at 80 years old I dont know why he would now a few weeks after trading for Porter.

Jerry isn't selling because he thinks this roster is good enough to fight for the division. We know Jerry at this point.

I think the mistake is when people assume Jerry prioritizes winning. Hes not here to fight for the division, hes fighting just to keep the Cowboys marketable and appear to be in the race. This is why I thought he might go get a couple of lower end guys like he typically does....Maybe a mingo type for a mid round pick or a logan wilson type for a late pick. Him not even making an attempt to sell the fans/media on the Cowboys chances just feels different to me....especially with a couple winnable games right after SF.

I think Jerry knows its a longshot to win this Sunday and a loss may put the Cowboys back 3.5 games in the division. Anything is possible, but 3+ back with 7 games to go leave for extemely slim odds.

I think after the season, if the Cowboys fail to make the playoffs, Jerry's only choice will be either full rebuild mode (which he won't do) or hire an entire new coaching staff.

Like most fans, I am not overly optimistic he will bring in someone with the power and authority to do what needs to be done to fix this team.

To answer your question, I think the Schottenheimer experiment is over if they fail to make the playoffs.

I think we have seen...it doesn't matter who the coaches are....this is just a toxic environment. Everything Jerry has built just needs to burn. This entire franchise needs to be blown up. How the business is run...How the stadium is a problem ..the hierarchy of the front office...McClay has to go....Dak....all of it...Just needs to be flushed...And start over. If I was running this...it's a fire sale...Just like Jimmy did. You would have to start from scratch...get rid of all the guys here that are just collecting paychecks ...and there is just a bunch of them. That's the only way...There is no saving this mess.

The offense put up 500 yards plus and 27 what does it take to put a team to sleep 600 yards and 45 points ……

One more first down in crunch time would have done it.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Anyways back to the original point, if this team comes out flat again, and get destroyed by 20 plus points. Does Jerry put Schotty out of his misery?

No. He waits until Black Monday.

There is no point firing him in November.

 

[RonWashington]

One more first down in crunch time would have done it.

Baltimore game 30 points . Arizona plenty of points & yards . 37 points against Wash . And if you look at the Tampa game wasn’t that a Thurs game after a Sunday in Brazil ? Who makes this schedule Edgar Allen Poe ?

 

[thunderpimp91]

My take.
He wants to keep Parker and his system, but needs to keep seeing improvement. He does not want to change scheme again.
I think Schotty will be gone unless a division win.

I almost think that could be worse. I really hope they don't go get a new HC to immediately force a DC on them.

Really you can keep a similar system in place while getting rid of Parker. I'm not sure hes doing anything half the league isnt right now.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Hes firing Shotty after this year. They aren't waiting around for him.

I hope youre right, but I think jerry is looking for any excuse to keep Schottenheimer. Any late season run or glimpse of hope will make jerry keep him. Personally id be so detached from this team if hes retained.

 

[jazzcat22]

Will revisit it at the end of the season.
If they end up with a losing record, yes he should be gone.

If they are anywhere close to winning the division, or do win it. Jerry will keep him, saying they are all in in 2027.
They are a few players away.

 

[RonWashington]

SF might be gruesome i hope Porter doesn’t get sick on the way to the game and misses another one .

 

[StarBoyz83]

I have no doubt he will be hc all 4 years of his contract

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Just once, I'd love to see the Cowboys go out there and win one of these games that they're "supposed" to lose.

We haven't really seen that much since the occasional times Garrett's teams would pull it off.

 

[Surfguy]

what is schotty's favorite line now..."it wasn't perfect and we got some stuff to clean up!"?

well...no ****, Sherlock.

 

[john van brocklin]

I know it probably wont be so lets get that out of the way.

However.

If this team shows up the way it has in the past especially after a win. Flat, uninterested, uninspired, and no effort, they are going to get utterly destroyed.

Will that be enough to finally get Jerry to see that Schotty isnt it? Another embarrassment on national television?

Schottys record after a win is enough to tell me that our chances of winning this game are slim.

To everyone who thinks this defense has improved...Well. Get yo popcorn ready.

Anyways back to the original point, if this team comes out flat again, and get destroyed by 20 plus points. Does Jerry put Schotty out of his misery?

Honestly, as long as Jerry is the GM and setting the tone for this franchise does it matter who the HC is?
We are just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic until he's gone.

Who knows?

Only his hairdresser knows for sure....
