So the texans fired the great OC that made stroud good after 2 years? 

No way!

I think they will find out the grass isn't always greener

Interesting choice by the Cowboys. I don’t recall Schottenheimer getting any other interviews around the league in recent seasons. After who they got linked with, I suspect it will be difficult for their fans to get excited by this hire.

From what I read the offense in year two was extremely predictable and stale, even the players, including Stroud, were complaining about it. He also apparently insisted on the C to do the line calls instead of Stroud. So it looked good on the surface to everyone on the outside, but inside the building a lot of people were unhappy.

That’s the impression I got from what I read about the Texans too. From the outside things looked ok, but it was a different atmosphere inside the building. Ultimately it’s usually only a matter of time once your QB starts to turn on a member of the coaching staff.

Slowik will get another opportunity and the Texans need to get the right replacement. It will be interesting to see if a new OC gets Stroud to bounce back to stats nearer his rookie season, or whether he’ll continue to be around the numbers of his second season.

Or maybe slowik wasn't the genius everybody claimed him to be.

The Cowboys announced their coach late Friday so nobody would notice lol.

This is a worse hire than Prime. Cowboys are doomed until Jerry is gone. They have talent but the coaching hires are so uninspiring.

And we kept the dc that had the worst scoring defense in nfl history

lions could/should hire Slowik now.

 

Dan has lost 6 coaches and more could leave...

This one can't actually be blamed on Jerry. 

From what I've read, Jerry was giving serious consideration to hiring Deion. His son Stephen though, who for the record has generally been shown to be far more football smart than his dad, pushed back against Deion and suggested hiring Schottenheimer instead.

I agree with not taking on Sanders and the circus that would have come with him, but I'm not so sure Schottenheimer is going to be a great hire either.

As for Lady Cowboy Fan, she's very "men" on this choice, but she is happy it's not Deion.

Can’t remember where i saw it, but Matt Eberflus was mentioned as DC for Dallas. Not sure how true it is.

I've seen that in a couple of places. And if I recall correctly he coached there before.

FYI: This turned out to be true...

Certainly didn't have that on my bingo card

Just more of the same with this guy, if the team stays healthy they will be in the playoffs but go home early as usual. 

Seems like they have the talent to attract some of the highly sought after coaches if it wasn't for Jerry.

He was great for them the first time, that's the gig that got him HC looks. 

I'm sure the 49ers are thrilled to have him back.
