Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer ranked among the worst NFL coaches
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is heading into his first season at the helm, but according to CBS Sports, he’s already one of the league’s worst coaches.
In a ranking of the best coaches in the NFL, they ranked Schottenheimer as the second worst, despite him having yet to coach a game for the team.
What was their reasoning?
To say his promotion after Mike McCarthy’s exit was an anticlimactic surprise would be an understatement. But this is Jerry Jones’ show, so it’s actually par for the course. Yes, Schottenheimer’s name may be bigger than his resume, but this man first held a coordinator job way back in 2006; it’s not like he’s totally lacking in NFL chops. Are we sure there isn’t a remote possibility he makes like, say, Doug Pederson -- another former NFC East hire who was overlooked by all except his own team’s powerful front office -- and proves to be just the approachable leader Dallas needs?
Schottenheimer’s lack of head coaching experience has been a topic of conversation since his hiring, but players have spoken about the culture and competition he’s brought to the team.
Running back Deuce Vaughn said the coach’s energy has made players want to come in and push themselves every day while praising Schottenheimer for empowering the team.
