00:00Shotty is not as good of a coach as McCarthy, but a better fit for this team.

00:22Not an overreaction.

00:24Everything on paper tells you that you upgraded at head coach, and the league tells you you

00:31didn't upgrade a head coach because no one went close to Brian Schottenheimer to lead

00:35their organization.

00:37But I do believe he could be a better fit, so not an overreaction.

00:43It's an overreaction to say Shotty's not as good as Mike McCarthy.

00:49That's just a flat-out overreaction, RJ.

00:51It's not an overreaction to say that he's a better fit for this team.

00:54He absolutely is a better fit for this team.

00:56That 100% is the case.

00:58If you just want to talk about culture and...

01:01You don't know that it's 100%.

01:04The players loved Mike.

01:05No, but it is 100% set.

01:08Regardless of what ends up happening, the Mike McCarthy style was not what this team

01:14needs.

01:15Does it work out?

01:16Does it do it?

01:17No.

01:18But the absolute, hey, we need toughness, and we need this, and the things that Schottenheimer's

01:20willing to do, that is a better fit.

01:22Does it equal better results?

01:23Not necessarily.

01:24Do they like him more?

01:25Not necessarily.

01:26But that is more what they need right now.

01:28That is a better fit right now.

01:29Yeah, I think Mike's a great...

01:32I love Mike.

01:33I think Mike's a fantastic coach.

01:34I think him and Schottenheimer, I'm angry.

01:38I'm angered by the lack of PR, good PR that he has.

01:42He needs a better PR person.

01:43Blame Laura Oakman.

01:44Yeah, he needs a better PR person.

01:45And Tom Palacero.

01:46I think he's had a hell of a PR person that he's hung around as long as he did.

01:51And Jay Glazer.

01:52He's got a pretty nice PR team.

01:54He does, but the perception of him is that he's this bumbling boob, and Sean Payton can't

01:58do no wrong.

02:00And they're the same guy.

02:01They have the same resume.

02:03But Schottie dealt with the Jets.

02:06The Jets were a circus with Rex Ryan, a complete circus.

02:11And this is a circus.

02:13Mike doesn't want to deal.

02:15Mike's Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon.

02:16I'm too old for this ass.

02:17And that's what he is.

02:20I think the other day, he's like, yeah, he probably wanted to stay as the head coach

02:23because he wanted the job to stay as the head coach, his family's here.

02:26But he doesn't need this crap.

02:27And he probably didn't love it.

02:30I don't think he loved being the coach of the Cowboys.

02:31He can go take Jimmy's spot.

02:33He can go be the Fox Studio guy, make his jokes there.

02:38He'll have fun.

02:39I think Mike loved being employed more than he loved being with the Cowboys.

02:41Oh, yeah, he definitely did not like being the Dallas Cowboy head coach.

02:44No way.

02:45I don't think so.

02:46I think it is a better fit.
