Cowboys fans seem pretty pleased with Brian Schottenheimer.
It feels like a long time ago that we were debating whether keeping Mike McCarthy made sense, and where we should turn if he didn’t come back. Jerry Jones initially wanted to keep McCarthy, but the two couldn’t come together on a deal with contract length reportedly a sticking point.
Once McCarthy decided to leave, plenty of names surfaced as a replacement. Remember the Jason Witten/Deion Sanders rumors? Or the possible return of the anointed one, Kellen Moore? Names were floated, but in the end the Cowboys decided to promote from within and moved offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer into the role, his first as a head coach in the NFL.
The move was not met with universal acclaim. In fact, many were angry about it. The reasons varied at the time, but it was hard to find fans that were enthusiastic about it.
Fast forward to now. We’ve heard Schottenheimer speak at press conferences and interviews. We’ve observed the coaching staff he has put together. We’ve seen his impact on roster building. We have been told stories of the new culture he is instituting at the Star.
Given all that has transpired since his hire, how would you grade Schottenheimer’s first half a year on the job?
