I'm good man, And look, let's get this 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:47.359 thing started. It's been it's been a week, and I 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.000 think names have come up that I don't think either 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.680 of us nobody. We went around the table last last Thursday, 0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.320 and we talked about names that we thought the Cowboys 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.080 should interview. Some of those names are already off the list. 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.720 Aaron Glynn, which was myp it's gone. He's now the 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:07.200 Jets head coach. Yeah, you knew he was here at 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.720 Newly Aggie isn't. Yeah, so he's he's the Jets head coach. 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.360 Jets hire him without hiring a general manager first. But okay, 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.920 never heard, but that means he gets his say though. 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.080 I mean it's open ground. Maybe it's a spin. I'm 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:21.960 like that, it's a different spin, spin. 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:26.600 Dark spin. 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.279 You don't see if that sticks. But but the names 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.839 that have come come up and come around. You saw 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.719 Robert Salah, Leslie Frasier, all of those names, and then 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.760 all of a sudden, out of the blue, Roan Schottenhammer's. 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.760 Name, team rolling and the ticking up. 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.920 Yes, And and the weird part about it for me 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.200 is like when you let go on Mike McCarthy and 0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:52.600 you say this team needs overhauled culture, all of those things, 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.359 and Brian Schottenhammer's name comes up and he is a 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:59.080 part of the previous regime, there's a there's a conflicting 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:00.720 idea in that. 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:02.640 Yeah, for me, it definitely is. 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:06.279 Those were my settlements when I started to hear the 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:10.480 rumblings about it. But one let me let me apologize 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.080 because since we already talked about the chat. 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:15.520 I did disrespect this this man. 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.920 I said, hey, like, I'm not familiar and I actually 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.840 had the privilege of being on the same team as 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.360 him when he was at Seattle, So to say that, 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.400 I was like, Okay, let me go, you know, hit 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.360 up some former players and stuff like that, and like 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:33.440 the things that I'm hearing about him, Hey man, it sounds. 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:34.520 Like they might have made the right decision. 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:40.840 So oh go ahead, hey man, what they say you. 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:44.520 Got to leave one more? But no, I need to 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:46.440 say that one. I apologize. 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.679 But for people to say that he is a leader 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.200 amongst men anybody that was on that coach Carroll staff, 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:52.080 you couldn't just fake it. 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.800 You had to have You had to. 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:59.560 Exuperate energy from Ken Norton going at the offensive coordinator 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.000 to everybody going back at each other. 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:02.960 They have that competition fact there. 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.080 But you have to throw in that he was there 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:10.520 when Russell Wilson had his best career. Then obviously he 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.640 was here last year with Dak having an All Pro season, 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.320 and so a lot of these guys and one guy 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.880 that I can put a name on, Richard Sherman, talked 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.080 about his schemes schematic wise, he's one of the best 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:22.800 that's out there. 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:24.880 For all the players that you hear. 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.640 Nobody from Seattle saying anything negative about him and have 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.960 great things to say in a locker room that has 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.320 historically have had the brightest and the most strongest of 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:37.560 personalities from the head coach to their players. 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.880 And for him to stand on his own man. 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.960 That's that's high praises in my opinion, And so that's 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.480 the main thing we said with coming to America's team, 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.080 can you find a leader amongst men? And right now 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.520 all I'm hearing is that he's a great guy. And 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.200 then you got to remember who his dad is, the 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.920 pedigree that he had, so from the high praises him 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.200 being around ball since he was little, being raised his 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.040 dad is are you know, one of the tops in 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:02.680 his profession? 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:04.960 Man? The ceiling is right for him. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.280 And some of the players even say they're surprised that 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.199 he hasn't been a head coach already. So for players 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.480 to say stuff like that, I'm excited to hear about it. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:17.040 Brian Schottenhamer's father, Marty coach twenty one years, only had 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.720 two losing seasons as a head coach, and that is 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:20.320 big time. 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:22.520 See your thoughts on it, well. 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.000 You know, like like what you said it was you 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.080 know because like when you you know, broke it down 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.160 like that coming from Seattle, that that is huge because 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.960 that team had big personalities, you know, like you said, 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.079 from the Schirms of the world, the Bobby Wagner's, the 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:35.520 Earl Thomas and those guys. 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:40.679 Russell, he smoked, So you have. 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.360 Big personalities on that team, and you need a guy 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.320 that's can can Can I won't want to say control, 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.120 but can can kind of get everybody on the same page, 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.079 especially offensively when you had you know, the Russ Cook phase. 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:53.920 And all that good stuff. So shoddy. 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:55.560 I'm not gonna sit here and act like I know 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.520 everything when it comes to this man, but I will 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.760 say I was surprised and his name was brought up, 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.960 and it's starting to gain momentum. It's like a snowball 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.160 going down. He'll just getting bigger and bigger and bigger. 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.840 And I'm interested to see what these players think about it. 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.120 I'm talking about the Parsons of the world, the Dak 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.959 Prescott to the world, because those are the guys that 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.319 are your leaders on the team. Those are the guys 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.800 that voice really means the most when you talk about 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:22.880 what coming from that locker room. So I want to 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.040 see how those guys feel about it, you know, especially 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.559 Dak Prescott because that's gonna be basically his man's right there, 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:29.960 because you know, for the past couple of years, Dak 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.000 has been playing at a high level. You know, the 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.199 year before this one before he got injured. Second in 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.560 MVP boting, he had one of his best seasons under 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.439 Mike McCarthy. So are they going to bring that same 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:43.240 system back, like McCarthy's system back with Shotenhaimer or Schotenhaimer 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.520 gonna put a whole different spin on it. I'm not 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.280 too sure about that. We'll see what happens. But one 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.720 thing's for certain. Whatever you do offensively on this team 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.520 as the head coach, you better get. 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:54.320 Eighty eight involved early. 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.760 In fact all, you gotta find a way to make 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.480 sure your playmakers are balling at a great clip. And 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.280 that's what we need from this team. We can't have 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.000 these slow starts the past couple of years. That's exactly 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.360 what's happened. This team has been loaded, loaded as a 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.360 you know, talent wise, not really much. 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.240 This year, but in previous year, has been loaded. But 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:12.520 they start out slow. 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:15.120 They start out slow, and that's exactly what hurt them 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.920 in that Green Bay playoff game. So to me, I'm 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:19.800 interested to see what these players bring to the table. 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.960 When they talk about Shoddy, but I'm surprised overall that 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:24.600 this is this is the name that has been brought 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.400 up and getting a lot of team, especially when you 0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.400 had guys like Aaron Glenn out there, Ben Johnson who 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.040 didn't even get costs, you know, from this organization. 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:33.240 So we'll see. 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.199 That's see, I mean, that's that's where the that's where 0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.080 things start to get weird, you know, when when you 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.360 say Aaron Glenn didn't even receive a telephone call. But 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.760 still there's nothing else is official yet and probably won't 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.959 be official until all the podcasts are done, and then 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:47.319 you'll get that. 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:51.720 Dang, I can't wait till why did y'all do that? 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.000 While but what you're about to say about. 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:58.120 Trade, my my question is or I guess it's not 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.240 really a question, so we don't get to stuck on it. 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:03.360 But when you say that it's weird that certain people 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.079 didn't get a call, it's like, do you even entertain 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:09.200 certain ideas when you already hear that the front runners 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.120 and we all know, like historically the cowboys or should 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.320 we say the cowboy Jerry knows what he wants and 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.520 he knows the idea and a ballpark of it. So 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.160 it's like, do you even entertain that just so for 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.600 entertainment purposes or for the fans or do you know, 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:24.439 I guess. 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.560 I guess the confusion for me is like perception not 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.600 meet in reality from the way that the season ended 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:35.079 and what the team felt like they needed. You need 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.000 a guy to come in here that can change the 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:41.440 culture overall, because the Cowboys seem to be dysfunctional within 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:44.560 the cultural part of their football team. When you look 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:46.640 around the NFL, you start talking about other teams that 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:48.800 may not even be on the same part page as 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:49.760 the Dallas Cowboys. 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:52.880 They have a culture fit. What is that here? 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:57.319 What is that? And that was the main culture identity, 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.800 whichever one. And I'm just pointing that out all around, 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.080 and I think that a head coach bringing in a 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.360 head coach that could give you that. And it seemed 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.080 like for me, adding context to what you were saying 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:11.160 about Schottenhamer and Mike McCarthy's offense last year, forty five 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.560 hundred yards for Dak Prescott, one thousand yards for Tony Poller, 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:16.640 seventeen hundred yards for Cede Lamb. 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:20.520 You're clicking, Yeah, fourteen TD or seventeen TD, you're clicking. 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:24.559 As an offense, you have Dan Quinn as your defensive coordinator. 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.360 Defense is putting up crazy numbers and Dan in those moments, 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.160 as you're talking about, when you needed the most, and 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.280 that's where you've kind of stuck up he in and 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.920 you stayed right there even with Mike McCarthy. Those slow starts, 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.560 you get into a situation versus a Green Bay team 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:42.400 where you get shredded defensively and your offense didn't give 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.120 you much to respond. And I don't want to be 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.800 revisionists on this, but I'm saying that's just a part 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:48.880 of what it is. When I say you didn't call 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:53.440 those guys, you're not calling guys that could potentially be 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:59.920 trendsetters in the NFL. You see Kevin O'Connell in Minnesota. 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.320 There are these young coaches that are out there that 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.839 you're seeing these guys have success. It looked like to 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.280 me you had a couple of those guys on the 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:08.000 table that you. 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.800 Yeah, didn't even you didn't even ring cause like you said, 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:15.600 you let then you kind of you can't help but 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:19.040 ask yourself, like, as a fan, Okay, should we done 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.240 this a year earlier and we look at the success 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.680 that Dan quinn is having right now? Well, maybe, as 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.640 I love to play double advocate in the room because 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.400 I just love for argument purposes. But let's just say 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.200 maybe he actually learned from his mistakes and said, hey, 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:35.040 this is one young or a younger guy that hasn't 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.360 had that opportunity yet that we're not gonna let leave 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.480 because just like you said, you had an All Pro 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.400 year with the numbers that you put up with those 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.800 same players a year prior, like you're one player away. 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.000 So it's like instead of ripping it all up, that's 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.320 where it's like, hey, does he learn from that? And 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.520 as a good coach said hey, I'm going to improve 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:55.880 over what's already here. And then two, I guess it's 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.320 a double headed sword. Do you handcuff him? Because the 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.520 one thing that we before Mike left when he was 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.520 talking to Zimmerman and everything, the mistake that was made 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.320 was that he tried to make his system fit somebody 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:10.479 else's system that was already there prior because of the success. 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.680 So with that statement, this guy is going to be 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.600 the coach like, will you learn from that statement and 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.120 the breadcrumbs that are out there? But also is this 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.520 Jerry learning from his mistake to saying that we have 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.040 talent in house right now that can develop it, So 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.600 you got to ask a question. This is a very 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.520 interesting pick. It came far left, but there's so many 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:30.840 nuances that we don't know. 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:32.360 About in this front office. 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:33.640 I know we got to go to break, but in 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.120 the front office, they've got to learn from their mistakes 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.880 as well. You got to give the gardener his tools 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:40.480 yes to go out there and succeed. 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:41.800 Look at the talent. 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:45.800 Gap between the Eagles and the Cowboys, Between Washington and 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.400 the Cowboys, I mean, the talent gap is huge, and 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.440 we saw it on display this entire season. 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:52.920 So to me, you've got to be able. 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.520 To go out there and bring players in, not only 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.760 in a draft, but in free agency as well. That 0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.760 can help with that culture ship. But not only that, 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:00.520 I can help you. 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:01.440 On the football field. 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:03.880 Like we saw it when guys went down this season, 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.640 the depth just wasn't there. And like what dis goes down, 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.360 Bland comes back. We got Lewis the other cornerback. Booth 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.240 is getting destroyed out there, and then just keep it 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.160 being he's getting destroyed out there. You go through this 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.080 running back carousel, and with all due respect to Dattle, 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:21.280 there was no exposiveness out there now. 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:24.760 So this team has got to get better. You know, 0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:26.040 on the football field. 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:29.120 Talent wise, culture wise, and hopefully whoever they bring in 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.280 to be the head coach, he can get his tools, 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.320 he can fix the culture. And I'm not saying it's 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:34.840 all gonna happen in one year like that, Like Dad, 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.600 what dan Quinn was able to do in Washington outstanding, 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.280 that's amazing. I'm not gonna say it's gonna happen that quickly. 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:42.480 But you gotta do something to improve his team over 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:44.280 He did it with a less talented team. Just throwing 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:44.840 it out there, but. 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.720 He did got to break. He did absolutely. 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:49.800 And but before we go to break, the question that 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:53.520 I'm going to post to you guys is whichever coach 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:57.320 that you bring in here, should he be a DAK 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:03.280 friendly coach or Parse friendly coach?
