Cowboys officially hire Brian Schottenheimer as Head Coach

I don't buy into that at all. Sean Payton wasn't just a successful OC. He was ready-made to be a Head Coach mentored by Bill Parcells. He sent Donte Stallworth packing and tossed Wayne Gandy's recliner in the garbage. He wasn't just drawing up cute plays. He immediately set a whole new culture.

Kellen Moore has a lot to prove in that regard. Sure, he'll need an opportunity. But I'm not ready to equate him with Payton at all.


All these guys, including Ben Johnson and Glenn, have to prove they can create a culture, hold guys to the standard, bring a team together, and do all the administrative details to keep things organized. The one exception to that is McCarthy who has proven he can do it in two different places at a high level.
