Even the Jones inbreds had to give themselves the weekend to puff themselves up with this amount of bullshit for this hire.

In case anyone is interested. Jerry held an interview after the press conference because obviously he doesn't get enough camera time.

MAN IN THE MIRROR ALERT @ 4:00

At least the media did ask some tougher question. Next step, follow up when he talks in circles and refuses to answer.

I can’t even bring myself to listen or watch and of that shit.

I stopped listening to sports radio years ago, but turned it on today just to hear reactions.

Omg, everyone knows this shit is going to be a disaster. Rich Eisen is probably the only voice I heard that took the “well, nobody really knows the future” approach, which is bullshit.

It's a shame they didn't cut ties with McCarthy after the playoff exit against GB. They could have talked to Vrabel, Harbaugh, Belichick at a minimum. Not that they would have hired any of them, but it would have felt better than this "thorough, thorough process" they went through to hire the guy down the hall.

Seriously though, I've always argued that Jerry isn't losing it, that he's always been this same football idiot. But now I think he is losing it. Every answer to every question is about when he bought the Cowboys. They always said he could sell ice to eskimos, etc, but now he can't keep it together long enough to even try to do that.

One other thing in that post PC scrum he said again, several times, that he's taken more risk the last five years than when he bought the team. And he loves talking about how the Cowboys were "too expensive" for him to buy when he did it. Makes me wonder if there really could be some financial issues with him? It is possible no matter how rich you are to push the envelope too much and get in trouble.

Sports Illustrated: What was the point of moving on from McCarthy to promote his offensive coordinator? Is something going to change schematically with another branch off the West Coast tree? Is game management supposed to improve with a first-time head coach? I'm sure Schottenheimer has some new ideas and can modernize in some ways, but there's a reason he has been a lifelong offensive coordinator. Schottenheimer is not viewed as a frontier-pushing head coaching candidate.

I was starting to think that was possibly true until I saw that he contributed $200 million to the inauguration. That could buy the salary of the entire team for a year.

Is that right? I thought it said he contributed to the 200 mil inauguration, as in that was the cost of the whole thing. Not that he contributed that much.

But maybe I saw it wrong.

I mean based on the part of the PC I watched today he isn't an x's and o's guy at all. He is a touchy feely coach. Now I will say, WCO, Texas Coast Offense, McVay, Shannahan or whoever, they all have the same plays anymore. There isn't really an innovation in that. But it's all about how you call them and when you call them. Like Shannahan runs a ton of motion and misdirection with those plays. I really have no idea what Shannahan is going to do, but he was an OC long before he was the OC for McCarthy. So I don't think the offense will necessarily look the same. But I don't think you'll see him do anything revolutionary either. This is a guy who may work hard but he isn't going to outsmart people either.

Ultimately, the PC made me feel worse about BS as a play caller and as a head coach. I don't think he has the personality to push players. I don't think he is going to demand excellence. It sounds like a guy who is just thankful to have this job, he is going to love everyone and he is going to work hard. I just don't think that's going to get the job done. But I guess we will see.
