Was once reprimanded by someone about how Jerry Jones doesn't meddle as much anymore, or that it's Stephen.
Believe me when I tell you that anything that Dallas does goes through Jerry Jones. He has a hand in all personnel and FO and football decisions.
Schottenheimer's father was a very great man. His son may as well be a good man too. But at the end of the day, he is a stooge for Jerry who will do his bidding on the field.
They were never going to get any high profile coaching free agent with this structure.

definitely seems like a somewhat underwhelming hire. But the top candidates aren’t taking the Jerry job and he isn’t paying them.

Yep. Jerry is cheap. It means he's not in the market for top coaches.
This is a truly underwhelming hire. It's going to be followed by another off-season of inaction.

It's also that Jerry is the owner, president, and GM of the team and that power doesn't sit well with most coaches who want their own people in

Nah. Jerry could easily hire anyone he wants if he was willing to use the vast resources of his $10 billion monster.
These coaches are competitive. If Jerry told one of these top candidates he was going to make them the highest paid coach in football, they wouldn't care about the power stuff the same.
There is no salary cap for the coaching staff. Jerry could have the best staff, but he chooses not to. He doesn't value coaching.

Eh. This thread might have been a bit premature due to Florio jumping the gun to be the first to report something.

Jones owns the biggest cash cow in the world, is in the HOF and has multiple rings. Like he really cares to win again.
The team hasn't made a conference championship since the first Clinton administration, yet had half a billion in operating income last year.

It's all about his ego. He'd rather lose his way than win someone else's way.

No, he wants to meddle. No serious coach will allow the owner to meddle in his daily operations so Jerry will not hire a serious coach.

Eh, nobody held a gun to their heads to re-sign there, Dak, CeeDee, and Martin should have know what they were getting into by now

I seriously haven’t heard Cowboys fans this ready to check out since the late 80s.
This is such a sad give up. But it’s what you get when you set a below market coaching salary cap.
His contract is four years.

I almost feel bad for them. Things can change quickly in the nfl but can't really see that happening with this hire and Dak's extension. They probably won't be bad enough to get a top 5 ouck but not good enough to make the playoffs.

I was amazed to see McCarthy was one of the lowest paid HC's in the league at 4 mil a year, Schottenheimer has to be even less I'd think
