Why Dallas Cowboys elected to make Brian Schottenheimer head coach | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

SEE IF IT WORKS. MEANWHILE, MEANWHILE. IS CLOSING IN ON. THAT STRAIGHT YEARS. WITHOUT MAKING IT TO THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP. I HAVEN’T HEARD THAT A NEW COACH THAT WE NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED A YEAR AGO. NO. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE BECAUSE WE KNEW MIKE MCCARTHY WAS IN. GRAVE DANGER. IS THERE ANOTHER KIND WE KNEW WE KNEW IF WE WOULD HAVE STARTED MAKING A LIST OF POTENTIAL REPLACEMENTS, NO WAY, MCCARTHY. YEAH. KNOW HOW MANY IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN. BEFORE BRIAN SCHOTTENHEIMER WOULD HAVE HIT THE LIST, 20, 30 WRIGHT 40 50 AND NOW HE’S THE HEAD COACH IT REALLY IS IT’S 1 OF THOSE THINGS. YOU GET CAUGHT UP IN THE DAY-TO-DAY WHEN YOU TAKE A STEP BACK, IT’S LIKE YEAH I MEAN I’LL DO RESPECT SEEMS LIKE A NICE GUY RIGHT? AND WHAT’S HE GONNA DO IS SAY NO BUT YOU TAKE A STEP BACK AND YOU’RE LIKE HOW THE HELL DOES BRIAN OF THE DALLAS COWBOYS. TOTALLY. I MEAN YES IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WAY DOWN THE LIST. THAT’S FOR SURE, WITHOUT A DOUBT. AND AND AGAIN, IT GOES INTO A LITTLE BIT OF THE THE SAME THING WE’VE TALKED ABOUT FOR THE COWBOYS THE WHOLE OFF SEASON, IT JUST JUST DOESN’T SEEM WELL PLANNED. WELL, THOUGHT OUT A LOT OF THE TIMES, WHETHER IT’S HANDLING, THE COACHING SITUATION AND MIKE MCCARTHY AND OH WAIT, WE’RE GOING TO GET HIM TO DO A 1-YEAR DEAL TO GET THEM TO COME BACK AND HE’S LIKE, OH NO, SCREW, YOU KNOW, YOU’RE NOT. AND THEN IT’S LIKE, OH WAIT, WHAT? WE THOUGHT HE WOULD, JUST LISTEN TO WHAT WE SAID, OR WHAT DO WE DO NOW? I MEAN THAT THAT’S A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT THE COWBOYS HAVE YOU KNOW? OH WE WE’RE GOING TO TRADE MICAH ALL I GAVE HIM A HANDSHAKE DEAL TO SAY YEAH, WE WANT YOU BUT WE WERE GOING TO REALLY TRADE HIM. OH OKAY. SO WAIT, YOU WANTED THE HANDSHAKE DEAL THAT I’M GOING TO HONOR IT BUT YET NOW YOU’RE TELLING ME YOU WERE GOING TO TRADE HIM ALL OFFSEASON. YOU WERE THINKING ABOUT THAT. IT’S JUST IT’S THE THEME OF THE COWBOYS. IT’S THE CIRCUS. WHO THE HELL KNOWS? WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN THERE? SO, YEAH, HERE WE ARE BRIAN. SCHOTTENHEIMER IN A SPOT WHERE YEAH, I DIDN’T SEE IT COMING. YOU DIDN’T SEE IT COMING AND WE’LL SEE WHAT HE CAN DO WITH IT. BUT YES, THIS IS NOT A GUY THAT I THINK WAS LOOKED AT THROUGHOUT THE LEAGUE AS FAR AS, OH, FUTURE HEAD COACH CANDIDATE, HOT NAME OUT THERE, NO WAY. AND THEN THERE WASN’T LIKE THAT IN, IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM. SO, UH, WE’RE GOING TO SEE WHAT THE COWBOYS HAVE. THEY GOT SOME TALENT, THEY DO, THEY’RE BETTER THAN PEOPLE REALIZE, BUT WE KNOW IT’S BEEN DISTRACTIONS AND WE’RE GOING TO SEE WHAT HE CAN DO TO BRING SOME DIFFERENT X’S AND O’S TO THE FOOTBALL TEAM HERE AS WE GO FORWARD. AND, YOU KNOW, THE HIRING OF SEAN HYMER TRACES AT LEAST WITH A DOTTED LINE TO THE WAY THE COWBOYS PAINTED THEMSELVES INTO A CORNER, NOT ONCE BUT TWICE WITH DAK PRESCOTT BECAUSE THEY’RE COMMITTED TO PRESS CAUGHT FOR SO MANY YEARS INTO THE FUTURE, THEY NEEDED A A COACH. YEAH, WHO WOULD GET THE MOST OUT OF PRESCOTT BECAUSE THEY CAN’T CHANGE QUARTERBACKS. THEY JUST CAN’T THEY CAN TALK ABOUT IT. WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT. I MEAN, THE COWBOYS WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY GAVE THE WRONG GUY, 60 MILLION A YEAR, BUT IT WAS EITHER SHOT AND HAMMER OR KELLEN MOORE BY THE WAY, KELLEN MOORE JOINS US AT 8:35 AM EASTERN TODAY. I HADN’T EVEN. YEAH, YOU BURIED THE LEAD. I WAS THINKING THIS THROUGH, BUT IT WAS BRIAN, SEAN HIM OR KELLEN MOORE. AND I THINK IT WAS OH HEY WAIT. THERE’S OTHER TEAMS INTERESTED IN KELLEN MOORE. IT’S GOING TO COST MORE TO GET HIM. LET’S GO WITH THE GUY. NOBODY’S INTERESTED IN THAT WE CAN GET CHEAP I BECAUSE BECAUSE AT HIS CORE I I’M I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY, I’M SORRY. AND I MAY HEAR THIS TOMORROW NIGHT AS WE’RE OUT ON THE SIDELINES BEFORE THE GAMES, I DON’T KNOW BUT BUT THE 1 THING THAT JERRY JONES HAS IN COMMON WITH MIKE BROWN IS WHEN IT COMES TO PAYING MONEY TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THEIR FOOTBALL TEAM, THEY ARE CHEAP. AND I KNOW. OH, YOU’D BE SURPRISED BY THE SIZE OF THE CHECKOUT, RIGHT. JUICE IN THE YOU’D BE SURPRISED BY THE IF IT. WOULD GUARANTEE ME A SUPER BOWL WIN AND IT DAWNED ON ME A YEAR OR SO AGO. YEAH, WE’D IT WOULD BE. BECAUSE THERE IS A GRIFT INVOLVED. IT’S ABOUT MAKING THE MOST MONEY YOU CAN, AND PAYING THE LEAST MONEY, YOU CAN, AND THAT CREATES THE KIND OF PROFIT WHERE YOU CAN HAVE A FLOATING CITY, LIKE SO MANY OF THE OWNERS NOW, DO. SO I DON’T BUY IT. I THINK THEY WENT WITH THE CHEAPEST OPTION PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE AND THEY LANDED ON BRANCH SEIMER. HOW THERE’S A REASON HIS NAME HADN’T EVEN BEEN WHISPERED AS A HEAD COACHING CANDIDATE SINCE THAT MOMENT LIKE 16 YEARS AGO WHEN HE WAS HOT FOR A LITTLE WHILE, RIGHT? 16 YEARS AGO. THAT WAS IT LIKE HE’S COMPLETELY OUT OF THE LOOP. HIS NAME NEVER COMES UP AND I’M SORRY AND HE SEEMS LIKE A NICE GUY. I MET HIM IN MARCH WHEN WE WERE IN FLORIDA. SEEMS. AND AGAIN, WHAT DO YOU SAY? NAH, I’M REALLY NOT THE GUY FOR THIS JOB YOU’RE GOING TO SAY YES I WANT TO BE THE HEAD COACH AT THE DALLAS COWBOYS. OF COURSE HE’S GOING TO SAY YES AND HE MAY BE GREAT AND AND IF HE DOES IT’S AN IT’S AN INCREDIBLE STORY BECAUSE THIS IS A GUY THAT WAS ON NO 1’S RADAR SCREEN. HE’S ON JERRY’S BECAUSE THEY NEEDED CONTINUITY WITH DAC AND HE WAS CHEAP AND THAT’S WHY HE’S THE HEAD COACH OF THE TEAM. YEAH, I I MEAN, I DON’T DISAGREE WITH A LOT OF WHAT YOU SAID AND AND I MEAN THE BOTTOM LINE IS TOO THE CANDIDATES WITH OPTIONS, LIKE, NOBODY WANTS TO DEAL WITH DALLAS. SORRY, THEY JUST DON’T, I KNOW IT’S THE COWBOYS, THE LAND OF TOM, LANDRY, AND THE GREAT DALLAS STAR, AND AMERICA’S TEAM, KNOW EVERYBODY 16 YEARS AGO. THAT WAS IT AND AMERICA’S TEAM, KNOW PEOPLE THAT HAVE A LOT OF TO GO TO DALLAS. SO, I GOT TO ANSWER TO JERRY EVERY DAY AND HE CAN SAY A BUNCH OF CRAZY CRAP TO THE MEDIA AND THEN I GOT TO ANSWER IT AND CLEAN IT ALL UP. YEAH, I WANT TO GO THERE FOR MY FIRST JOB. RIGHT? SO YEAH, THEY’RE IN, THEY’RE IN A LITTLE BIT OF A WEIRD SPOT AS AN ORGANIZATION. WE’RE GOING TO SEE WHAT BRIAN SHOT AT THE 1 THING. I’VE ALWAYS LIKED ABOUT SHOT NIMER, HIS ABILITY TO RUN THE FOOTBALL, HE IS CREATIVE IN THE RUN GAME THAT WAY AND MAYBE THAT’S SOMETHING HE CAN BRING TO DALLAS HERE. SOMETHING WE QUESTION BECAUSE WE, WE’RE NOT NECESSARILY LOOKING AT THE RUNNING BACK GROUP GOING. OH, WOW, THAT’S SPECIAL THERE BUT THEY GOT AN O LINE THAT’S PRETTY DAMN GOOD. AND CERTAINLY GOT SOME HIGH ROUND PICKS THERE THAT YOU THINK HEY THERE’S SOME POTENTIAL THEY COULD MOVE

  3. Florio is so disrespectful. Anybody ask how a low level journalist like yourself gets to cover the NFL? What made you so qualified over the thousands of content guys out there to get the position at NBC? Humble yourself bro

  7. He is no worse than the guy the Patriots had last year. He has been an OC for a long time with a few small holes, and other than not getting anything out of Sam Bradford and getting a high draft pick for a guy with 3rd round talent, he has done well with top half offensive outputs and not a bad, you need an offensive coach, pick. Also, Jerry's average coaching tenure over the last 30 years is above average for the lower half of the league and therefore against the average hire, 5 years may be the low.

  8. I love coach Schotty.

    This guy crying about Dallas everyday is getting on my nerves.
    He shits on Jerry
    He shits on Dak
    He shits on our coach

    I dont know why they cant just stop talking about Dallas if they are gonna cry everyday.

    Its almost like CNN/MSNBC talking about Trump🤦‍♂️ its like dang find a new angle

    ***these goofballs prolly said Dallas should have gotten Bill before he went to UNC. Yea that is working out great for them.

    Nobody wants to coach in Dallas but magically they have 100 people lined up begging everytime the spots open😂 These two are professional yappers. Not in a good omg they are smart. More of a are they slow in the head kinda yapping?

  16. Mike why don’t you do something different and maybe invite the guy on your show, talking about Schotty, also on the Micah crap you and every other talking head would be bashing Jerry if he paid Micah $47 million over paying him not once have you guys taken that stance on the Packers.

  20. rooting for dal-loss vs filly on this one. having said that, thank goodness filly stopped KC 3 pete. oh yea, dakota on the hot seat this year before just fading away and hope no one brings it up

  21. When Jerry Jones fired Jimmy Johnson back in the day, he (in)famously said that, “anybody can coach the Cowboys”. Thirty some odd years later, I guess we’re about to find out whether or not that’s true.

  22. jerry jones is basically donald trump except jerry is at least good at business. they both only want spineless yes men around them to tell them they are good and perfect at everything.

  23. Gotta love that even after the Micah Parsons trade the bootlicking sports media is still desperate to talk about the Cowboys. You guys whine about Jerry and then give him what he wants. Y'all are the problem too, and I'm a part of it for giving you engagement. Sick world we live in these days.
