Maybe today’s meeting was about how Schottenheimer’s kid is paid through incentives, like maybe you know, wins?

We sure were paying that last coach an awful lot of money, Mortimer.

100k per win....100k bonus for making playoffs. 250k bonus super bowl win sounds fair.

Maybe Jerry could pay our next head coach on a game by game basis. Hard to believe someone worth 10 billion gazillion dollars could be so cheap with coaches and free agents.

I think what it comes down to is Jerry and family don't want anyone getting any credit besides them. They'd rather lose with someone in the cowboy family doing the coaching, than some hotshot come in and steal the limelight. Jones et al are the only "geniuses" allowed. And when someone in their "family" of coaches does well, Jerry can swoop in and talk about how they drafted or found this person way back in the day, and Jerry is a genius blah blah blah.

Their entire family is garbage.

No I think they are cheap. It's not about Jerry anymore. It's about the kids, grandkids, great grand kids and making sure that they are all set up for life of luxury too.

If it was just about pride Jerry would mortgage the future, spend a bunch of money and then take credit for building something special before he dies. The Deion signing, is a thing of pride for Jerry.

And I sort of get it. I certainly think about stacking cash so my kiddos always have that parachute. Of course I'm on a much smaller scale. And I'll never have enough money to make sure great grandkids are wealthy. But I honestly think that's what Jerry is about these days, even though he will never admit to being cheap. That goes against the pride thing.

Sure, all that's missing for coaches to win a super bowl is more money. They just haven't been properly motivated. I wish he'd thought of this sooner we'd be swimming in championships.

I am still at diversion for having Moore and this twerp doing something with Witten as the smiling back stabber.

Otherwise, the crazy pills are kicking in.

I still think it'll be Moore, they've had two full days to hire Schottenheimer since they got done with the other interviews and unless it happens tomorrow I don't think it's happening.

They wouldn't be this far along with Schottenheimer if they didn't intend on hiring him.

It wouldn't shock me if contract details were the holdup, as per usual. It might be why they've turned to Schottenheimer in the first place if Moore balked at their offer.

What happens if the Jones are so stubborn that this falls through?

How far along are they though?

A second interview?

They can't have a second interview with Moore until after the NFCC as far as I know. Like I said, unless they hire this fool tomorrow I don't think it'll happen. If they haven't hired him by the weekend more or less I think Moore is the obvious plan.

At least Deion won't call plays. If he gets a competent offensive and defensive coordinator he might be fine as a walk around motivational dude.
That's what's I've been trying to say since the beginning.

In my opinion, Deion is the best option from that terrible list of candidates because of how things would be structured under him and his relationship with Jerry.

It's the situation that has the best chance to succeed.
