What is it with so many head coaches insisting on calling their own plays? I know it's always been around but seems way more prevalent these days (could be perception I suppose based on teams I know more about). Be a head coach and hire a coordiator you trust to call plays. Has Schottenheimer officially said that he's going to call plays? That wasn't part of his OC duties previously, right?

Jerry basically announced that Brian will call plays.  I hate HCs that call plays most of the time. Jimmy didn’t call plays.  Parcells.  Most of Garrett years.  The hc needs to manage the game and control the C’sfrom doing dumb shit.

I may have miscounted by one or two, but by this source I count 14 head coaches that were calling the plays going into 2024. Offensive coordinators called plays for 18 teams. It's not unusual. Whether it's a good idea or not is debatable. But some very good head coaches that are good at it seem to get their teams in the playoffs fairly regularly. For some teams the head coach is the real OC with a proxy up in the booth that they call the OC, which is basically what Schott is, and several others.

So if we want to find any room for hope in all that, my stance has been that Mike not calling plays next year may not be a bad thing, and we will find out if Brian is better at not only calling the plays, but with his own version of the scheme. Fans often bitched bout McCarthy's play calling. For me it was mostly how bland it was with not enough wrinkles to get receivers more open, give the qb better checkdown options, and open things up for the running game as well. Mike's game management wasn't great, either. Some new blood on the staff might bring a few ideas that Brian may be more open to using. 

We'll just have to see.

I have the sneaking suspicion that the Cowboys are really going to try and make some splashes this offseason.

Last years offseason was the most apathetic I ever felt. The whole "All In" BS, followed by a decent, not great draft, and then the worst FA period i've ever seen in my life, even for the Cowboys...it makes me think they were literally sabotaging McCarthy's last year. 

They'll want to do the opposite this year...to prove they were right to Hire Schot, and may actually make some trades/signings to improve the team.

Just enough to reel us back in again, ugh.

Mike has punted on getting a head coaching job this year and says he is focusing on the 2026 hiring cycle. Seems likely that he wasn't drawing as much enthusiasm as he had though, which isn't really surprising. Maybe another sub-NFL pro league?

It appears obvious that he made the wrong choice in not taking a short term deal to return to Dallas.

Will McClay agreed to an extension. 

He's got the perfect job. Makes good money and truly has zero pressure. Everything that happens is on Jerry so any player, or contact, or deal that is done, even if Will orchestrated it, is on Jerry. Something goes to shit, even if it's Will's fault, goes on Jerry. He'll never get credit for any good that he does, but I'm guessing he's fine just spending Jerry's money and doing the football thing. Where do I sign up.

His title doesn't have "VP" in it for nothing...
