00:00I
00:15Was just gonna go that for and then against but would you like me to reverse would you like me to list the case against
00:20first or the case for first
00:22Let's go with the case against cuz that's what people probably want the most
00:26Okay, so this is this is generally my overview of why I think you have to be critical of the higher
00:31There's reasons to be critical of it. There's reasons to be positive about it critical
00:35Whether he's a good coach or not
00:37We talked about the about this whether he turns out to be a good or bad coach is kind of irrelevant because the hiring process
00:42The cowboys used was really flawed and and you know a problem
00:47I think overall like we mentioned Dak Prescott good quarterback became an MVP candidate one year
00:53But you picked him at the back end of the fourth after three guys that you were interested in like Paxton Lynch and you know
00:59Connor cook and different guys like that
01:01Got snatched right before you and then you ended up with him. You didn't know he was going to be that guy
01:07So it's not like oh we knew is gonna do this all along. You don't get credit for that
01:10It just happened to turn out that way. That's the thing. I can't give you props for stumbling wall Chuck and
01:17Chia follow had said it like two weeks ago. Who are you gonna fall into if you fall into it again?
01:23If you had interviewed Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson and done your due diligence everyone you're like, you know what?
01:27We really think we have a feeling about Schottenheimer then I can give you some credit
01:32I cannot give you credit for
01:36Seemingly not doing work. Yeah, and sorry
01:39This is once more an incredibly narrow search that they did and it calls him a question how the Cowboys can have certainty about his qualifications
01:46How can you be sure he is the best candidate when you don't?
01:49Expand the search at all
