00:00What's your reaction, Gabe, to Schottenheimer's hire?

00:04They went from Deion Sanders and a lot of attention for 48 hours to Brian Schottenheimer.

00:12Well, another yes, man, right?

00:15And, you know, I remember something I want to correct myself.

00:18I remember I didn't like the Knicks and the T-Wolves trade at the time, Scott.

00:20I was like, I don't know.

00:21I don't know.

00:22Carl Anthony Towns is a good fit for New York.

00:25And I said, no, I always say you can't judge a trade until like two years later.

00:30You can't judge a draft pick until a couple of years later.

00:33You can't judge a coaching hire until we actually see it, right?

00:38But, you know, what's the difference here?

00:41Is he going to light the room on fire?

00:43All right.

00:44The offense will be good.

00:45The offense is already good.

00:46I mean, the Cowboys, to me, the Cowboys are going to win double-digit games if they're

00:50healthy and they're going to get bounced.

00:52But I don't see Schottenheimer putting them over the top.

00:54It's funny, though.

00:55I couldn't help but think.

00:56I brought up McDermott, Scott, and I was thinking about Sean McDermott and the Bills and then

01:01Brian Schottenheimer.

01:02And I can't help but think that Sean McDermott's become Marty Schottenheimer, right?

01:06It was the same thing.

01:07Remember, Marty Schottenheimer used to be a 16-game schedule, guys, but 13-3, you know,

01:1112-4 every year, it's like, you know, really, really good, really, really good, and losing

01:17the playoffs, losing the playoffs, losing the playoffs.

01:20People got frustrated.

01:21You look back, you're like, yeah, dude, the guy won 12 games every year.

01:24And, you know, he got thrown out of the bus.

01:26So that's why I don't like getting overreacting and firing coaches.

01:29But McDermott reminds me of Marty Schottenheimer a lot, to be honest with you.

01:33But as far as the Cowboys, you're right.

01:35Like, you know, think outside the box a little bit.

01:38Let's just be real, bro.

01:39I don't know.

01:40You watch the show Landman.

01:41Jerry Jones is on Landman with Billy Bob Thornton.

01:45And I think it was like people were like, oh, he's a pretty good actor.

01:48He wasn't acting, right?

01:51Like, he literally was telling his life story in that scene when he said, you know, I bought

01:55this company, I bought the team so I could work.

01:57He goes, not really about the Cowboys, it's about working with my kids.

02:01And, dude, that's all it is to him, right?

02:03It's not about like winning the Super Bowl and stuff.

02:06It's just about, you know, owning the Cowboys and working with his kids.

02:10And yeah, he's having fun, but Cowboy fans aren't having much fun right now.

02:14I would have hired Deion, Scott, personally.

02:17I would have brought some fire into this thing, bro.

02:19Those players would have played hard for him.

02:21People always thought he was an X and O guy.

02:22Shut up.

02:23The X and O guy.

02:24Adam Gase is an X and O guy.

02:26How'd that work out?

02:27When he won though, Gabe.

02:28When he won.

02:29Damn right.

02:30He's a Hall of Famer.

02:31He's a winner.

02:32But when they were winning, like when they were winning with Aikman and Emmitt Smith

02:36and Michael Irvin and Deion, he was into winning.

02:41Like, he really wanted to win every single Super Bowl.

02:45And like he fired Jerry or he fired Jimmy Johnson, I almost fell over.

02:50Nowadays, he's so much different than that guy.

02:52Obviously, he's a lot older, but now I think he's become more of what you're talking about,

02:57right?

02:58Like he's just this guy that has this toy and he gets to work and stay vibrant with

03:03his family and his kids.

03:04I agree with that.

03:05That's a great point though, Scott.

03:06Like Jimmy Johnson at the time was a risky hire.

03:09It was a bold hire.

03:10It was like, wow, Jimmy's a college coach and he's kind of crazy.

03:13How's this?

03:15And then what happened?

03:16They clashed.

03:17And what was the second hire after that?

03:20Really wild, Scott.

03:21Barry Switzer.

03:22Right.

03:23I know people that played for Barry Switzer on Oklahoma.

03:26I said, what's Coach Switzer like?

03:27He goes, he parties harder than any player on the team does.

03:31Point blank.

03:32Like they love him.

03:33He's crazy.

03:34Yeah, they're crazy.

03:35He goes to Dallas.

03:36They're all doing blow.

03:37They're partying.

03:38They're walking around with loaded guns and stuff.

03:39And Switzer's right along there for the ride.

03:41They win a Super Bowl with him, right?

03:43And along the way, I remember that Switzer got credit for that.

03:47They were like, yeah, it's Jimmy's team.

03:48He still won.

03:50He won.

03:51You know what I mean?

03:52It's not that easy.

03:53He took over and they just kept going.

03:54He won.

03:55But he was bat crap crazy.

03:58Like Barry Switzer's the coach.

04:00He got arrested at the airport for having a loaded gun.

04:02Not a player.

04:03It's like, God damn, I forgot to take that out of my suitcase.

04:07But now just to the total, you know, McCarthy's not a yes man, but McCarthy was looking for

04:12a job.

04:13Like he wanted to back in the league.

04:14You know, Schottenheimer to me is yes sir, no sir.

04:17You know what I mean?

04:18He's not going to rock the boat.

04:19He's not going to tell him.

04:20Do you think he gets the Saints job or not, McCarthy?

04:21Yes or no on the Saints?

04:22Yeah, I'll say yes because no one else wants it.

04:25Who wants that Saints job?
