2026 Season | Week 6 | Gameday Chatter Thread | Cowboys @ Packers | 10/18/2026

I said it last week, but at this point I'd settle for Zimmer as HC and every coordinator and assistant a crotchty old fucker who's been in the league 30 years and doesn't give the tiniest shit if the players love them or not.

This idea of hiring a bunch of rookie and noob NFL coaches because of "youth" and "energy" has been an abject failure. These guys have no idea what they're doing.

I don't blame them for the Parker hire, there have been plenty of other hires that had a similar profile as him who worked out and went on to become HC's. Others don't work out and go back to being position coaches, it's a roll of the dice.

Plus they went the "established" route with Eberflus last year and we saw how that went.

My issue is more that you can just tell that Schottenheimer is a bullshit HC who is in way over his head, and that it's just a continuation of the bullshit we've seen out of Jerry for decades.

It's possible, I guess, that Parker turns to one day to be a decent NFL coordinator. But bringing in an entire staff of assistant coaches even younger than him on his first go was a terrible idea. I'm guessing he hasn't been around long enough to know people. Five years ago he was a QC coach getting coffee and doing cut-ups, for God's sake.

But yeah, Schottenheimer has lost everyone also. Nuke it all.
 
Also, I do wonder what Jerry is thinking. By all accounts he had to be convinced to go this route and let the head coach lead the coaching search, etc. Supposedly this was mostly Goof Son and McClay. Hopefully Jerry's lesson from this isn't to take back control and hire old cronies again.
