FWIW, Broaddus just said he is hearing that Jerry prefers Carroll as HC, and both idiot Spawns want Schottenheimer.

I have to be honest, if they hire Schottenheimer it really doesn't change anything about what I expect from them in 2025 or 2026 (if he were still coach then). I certainly don't think he's a strong candidate and probably not even a decent one, but McCarthy proved he really wasn't any good either. He had 5 yrs to get the team past the divisional round and couldn't do it. I really don't think anything will change. We were 7-10 this yr, we'll probably be 6-11 or 7-10 next yr if they stay healthy. We know they almost assuredly won't do anything in free agency (as usual) so there's no reason to expect a better record.

His dad never won the Super Bowl (or got to one) but he won a lot of regular season games and playoff games. His teams were fundamentally sound and typically ran the ball well and played good defense. If 'lil Schotty sticks to that formula and tries to deemphasize the mediocre QB, maybe they have an average to above average season.

I dont know much about him except his dad and that he's been a coordinator in the NFL for 20 years (IIUC). Like you said, it doesnt matter and maybe its my apathy talking but at least he's got 20 years in the league vs the Insta-hires with so little experience like Moore or Klingsbury

Maybe he can bring back the Cowboys Gleam, he's got it in his DNA!

“It is almost like football is an afterthought. ... Jerry and Stephen are all about the money and monetizing every aspect of the Cowboys. That gets frustrating. That gets distracting to get your job done."



almost???

Might be why they are spending so much "time" with Schottenheimer, perhaps speaking jointly with him and Pete Carroll.

Schottenheimer was Carroll's OC for 3 yrs in Seattle and if the plan is to have a bridge HC to Jason Witten, this makes much more sense than people like Kellen Moore or even Schottenheimer.
This is insightful and thoughtful. And if true do we apologize?

Um, didn't Pete fire Schottenheimer years ago?
Supposedly the people above him (Carroll) forced him to move on. I don't recall if he was actually "fired" with time left on his contract or if they just decided to move on from him after his contract expired.

If Pete Carroll were to end up as HC, Gus Bradley might be the new DC.

Bradley was Carroll 1st DC in Seattle and also worked with Monte Kiffin in Tampa.
