It seems like everyone was expecting Brian Schottenheimer to be named Cowboys head coach either today or tomorrow, but could a late wrench have been thrown into things? Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that Jerry Jones has talked to former Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll about the open position. GBag discusses this news and what it means for the now fluid coaching search.

00:00If you were fired up and disappointed by the idea of Schottenheimer being the head coach,
00:20I think you have a lifeline here, you know, maybe to somebody.
00:24And Brian, you're reporting that this is probably a split jury behind the scenes?
00:27Yeah, I think that Steven and Jerry Jr. are involved in this one,
00:32and they're trying to convince dad to hire Schottenheimer.
00:36And dad is having some resistance.
00:38Now, dad could step back and say, yes, you're right.
00:42They did this before.
00:43It sounds like when they did it with Mike McCarthy, hiring a Mike McCarthy.
00:47So a little bit of some push from the sons about, hey, let's get Schottie going.
00:53He's going to help dad.
00:54This is the reasons why, dad.
00:55We've talked about this going forward, da, da, da, da, da.
00:59And Jerry is actually having some resentment about the potential hire.
01:03Yeah.
01:04And so Jerry's going to do what he needs to do to maybe hold things off.
01:09I don't know how long he can hold off his sons on this one.
01:13We'll see.
01:15But that seems to be the direction this thing has been taken.
01:20And I don't know how to exactly feel about that.
01:23I think it is a sign that maybe when Steven and Jerry Jr.
01:26take over with more autonomy or authority, I don't know exactly how to phrase that.
01:32But when Jerry's time as the GM is over, no matter what that looks like, I think that
01:37would suggest it'll be more about substance than about the sex appeal of a hiring.
01:43I think Jerry Jones is looking at the fan base and looking at the headlines right now
01:46and understands that many Cowboys fans feel the same way Wolchuk does about the potential
01:51of hiring Schottenheimer.
01:52Nothing to it.
01:54I would like Pete Carroll and Schottenheimer together because I think they would get through
02:01to the organization.
02:03We can't treat Dak Prescott like he's Patrick Mahomes.
02:05And even with Patrick Mahomes, he only threw for 178 yards in the division around.
02:10It's the running game.
02:12And whether that's Rico Dattle or whoever we come across, we need to put a great offensive
02:19line together if we want to get the most out of Dak Prescott.
02:23Another wide receiver and hoping he can get the job done with the mediocre offensive line
02:28play.
