Wolchuk pans potential Brian Schottenheimer hire: "A slap in the face to your fans"

KRLD-FM / 105.3 The Fan

The Cowboys are interviewing Brian Schottenheimer, their offensive coordinator of the last two seasons, for their head coaching position today. If they're to move forward with Schotty as the head coach, it would not please one Zach Wolchuk. He goes on a rant about why this hire would be a slap in the face to Cowboys fans in today's NFL News of the Day.

00:00Yep, that's the latest, so the Cowboys will have interviewed Kellen Moore, then you get

00:21Robert Sala and Leslie Frazier, so now you're Rooney Rule compliant, and then you get the

00:25Brian Schottenheimer interview.

00:28So if they were to hire Brian Schottenheimer, you're now hiring a head coach, nobody else

00:32in the NFL with a head coaching offering even asked to interview him, nobody interviewed

00:36him, a guy who's been 14 seasons as a play caller, been in the top 10 in yards per game

00:43a shocking two times, and then been top scoring in offense five times, only top five once.

00:49So historically, when he's been just an offensive coordinator, average to below average.

00:55And I think Cowboy fans, if you go back to 2018, the one wild card home playoff game

01:00DAC won, it was probably because Brian Schottenheimer led to the let Russ Cook theme, because he

01:08just ran the damn ball and allowed the Cowboys a great opportunity to win that football game.

01:12I know, I remember coming out of that game in 2018 thinking, Brian Schottenheimer was

01:15a big reason Seattle lost that football game, and thank you to him.

01:19So great dude, we got to interview him at training camp, I loved talking with him, maybe

01:24if he's not calling the plays, that could be the case here.

01:26I don't imagine that he wouldn't be, even if he's the head coach, Jane had reported

01:30last week that wherever he goes, he wants to be able to call the plays.

01:34But this just seems like a completely, utterly ridiculous potential hiring, and it makes

01:40it very, very difficult, pretty much you're on the verge of like zero faith as a Cowboy

01:45fan.

01:46I mean, I'm one that is very usually optimistic, I search for reasons to try and be hopeful.

01:53I think at this point, honest to God, the only reason Cowboy fans would gather any hope

02:00is if the Jones family sold the team.

02:01I really do.

02:03This is, they are going ahead right now and putting themselves in a position where they're

02:07acting like they don't care about who the head coach is, which is in line with everything

02:10you said in the opening segment, with Jerry.

02:12Because he said, I could get how many, a hundred, thousands of coaches to come in here and coach

02:16football team.

02:17You had Jimmy Johnson, best thing he's ever done was hire Jimmy.

02:21He put together those teams and since then he's been trying to get the same type of success

02:26where he gets the credit and it's gotten you nowhere.

02:29It's now got you the biggest NFC championship drought in the entire conference.

02:33It's disgraceful.

02:34And he's still going to make his money because schmucks like me that don't love the Cowboys

02:37for the Joneses, you love the Cowboys because you grew up going to games with your family

02:42members and you fall in love with the sport.

02:45And I love the Cowboys because of the Dallas Cowboys, not because of the names on the back

02:49of the jerseys or who owns the team.

02:51It's because of the team.

02:52But unfortunately now it's just depression.

02:56That's what it is being a Cowboy fan.

02:57It's utter depression and anger and where the hell do I go from here?

03:02And a hire like this, even if it's Kellen Moore, maybe it's not shoddy and I'm not trying

03:07to crap on him.

03:08Good dude.

03:09Family's awesome.

03:10They walk by us all the time, Brian, in post games.

03:12But this is an utterly crap hiring if that's what you're going to do.

03:15It's disgraceful and it's a slap in the face to your fans.

03:18It's like you're doing a bit.

03:19Do you give a damn?

03:20The answer is no, right now you don't.

03:22You don't care about winning a championship and all you care about is printing money.
