Cowboys hire Brian Schottenheimer as OC

Makes sense. Can't imagine to many chomping at the bit to become a OC in name only, not calling plays and most likely looking for another job after McCarthy doesn't fix Dak either and is fired after the 2023 season.

But hey, Jobs a job!!

When your best calling card is you're not Pat Shurmur or Darrell Bevell...that's a pretty low bar.   I'm not sure how McCarthy calling plays, and less time on HC, and Schotty is an upgrade on Kellen Moore.

Im not necessarily defending the hire, but most of those criticisms are really weak.

1) I dont rememeber the 2001 Redskins,  but their starting QB was....Tony Banks.

2) Drew Brees may have not been HOF caliber immediately, but if not for his 2004 and 2005 seasons in San Diego,  he wouldnt have been one of the most sought after QBs in free agency that year and gotten a huge payday from the Saints to go play under one of he better offensive minds in football.   Im not giving Schotty credit for creating Drew Brees, but lets not act like he held him back.  Lets also remember that Marty Schottenheilmer loved running the ball and the Chargers had Ladanian Tomlinson.    Brees efficiency in 2004 and 05 were similar to his years to come, but he went to a much more pass happy system in New Orleans, which increased his bulk stats.

3) He's blaming Schottenheimer for wasting the offense with Mark Sanchez?  Seriously?     What offensive coach was going to have a ton of success with Sanchez?

4) Those Rams teams were abysmal and dysfunctional all around.   Not all on Schotty.

5) Funny how he only mentions 2017 with the Colts when Andrew Luck was out all year.   In 2016, they were top 10, even with a somewhat banged up Andrew Luck.

6) LMAO....some of Russ's best years came during those years.    Russ certainly hasnt looked much better since those years.

7)  Urban Meyer, rookie QB (even if it was an elite prospect), and one of the least talented teams in the league.  

Schottenheimer is a flawed coach, and I certainly dont think they should have fired Kellen Moore for him....but those attacks on him with zero context are utterly pathetic.

Man this has to suck if you're a Dallas fan. There is literally no upside to bringing in a failed retread like Schotty who, at this point, has to be only getting jobs because of his last name and the fact that he's a yes man.

At least you know EA Sports will value him still since the ratings guy is a cowboys fan. In the game, it’ll be like their offense doesn’t even suck

That or Madden knows how large the Cowboys market and fanbase is and jacking up their ratings will make then more money in some fashion.

One of the worst assistants of all time. Impressive. 

How many OC really want just the title and no play calling? Is he even being brought in to help game plan? Or just be a yes man figurehead?

God I love Jerry!
