Cowboys fans are having a change of heart around head coach Brian Schottenheimer - Blogging The Boys
Brian Schottenheimer came in and immediately sounded like a head coach. His first press conference was a little bit of an eye-opener for the fans as we heard a confident and somewhat inspirational coach speaking. He followed that up by bonding with the players and putting his own stamp on the culture. That was fine, but what has really moved the needle are the moves the Cowboys have made since his hire. The roster of assistant coaches he put together looks extremely promising. The Cowboys also made more roster acquisitions through free agency and trades, and by all accounts had a strong draft. The Cowboys under Schottenheimer, seem, dare I say, competent. The head coach seems to have a plan that is being executed, and he seems to have the full buy-in of the players. And maybe the fans, too. We asked you to grade the job Schottenheimer has done since his appointment as head coach. 88% of respondents gave him either an ‘a’ or ‘b’ grade. That’s high praise.

Surely just a coincidence for a franchise that has allowed their previous two head coaches to walk on expired contracts in lame duck seasons rather than fire them and pay for two coaches at once.

The Cowboys reportedly only interviewed Kellen Moore, Leslie Frazier, Robert Saleh, and Brian Schottenheimer for the job. They landed on Schottenheimer, an inexpensive warm body who was already in the building. They also “Friday news dumped” the hire, announcing it at around 8:40 p.m. CST, on Friday, January 24, the weekend of the Conference Championship Round of the playoffs. “Brian Schottenheimer is known as a career assistant,” Jerry Jones told ESPN after the hire was announced. “He ain’t Brian no more. He is now known as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.” I didn’t make up that quote, lol. Schottenheimer has 14 years of NFL experience as an offensive coordinator, but has never produced impressive results. [...] Dak Prescott suffered season-ending injuries in each of McCarthy’s two losing seasons. In his three other seasons, McCarthy presided over a lot of regular season wins, only to have Super Bowl hopes quickly extinguished in the playoffs in spectacular fashion. Still, the Cowboys won the NFC East in 2021 and 2023 under McCarthy. While perhaps not a coach likely to win a Super Bowl (he did win one with Green Bay, but only one despite 13 years...
