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.
