You don't care about last night's Super Bowl score, right? Neither do we. Let's instead talk about the coaching hire Brian Schottenheimer has made for his first Cowboys coaching staff, including an interesting trend of taking college position coaches instead of guys with previous NFL experience.

00:00And then they made their wide receiver coach hire.
00:17And I had heard a little rumbling about, they were considering two different names, both
00:22of them from the college ranks.
00:24And they ended up hiring Oregon's wide receiver coach, junior Adams, which is interesting
00:29for a couple of reasons.
00:30First off, and the one that I didn't see a lot of chatter about yesterday, he coached
00:34receivers at Prosser high school in Washington in 2007, which is Kellen Moore's alma mater.
00:41He was an assistant for Kellen Moore's dad at Prosser high school in 2007 as the wide
00:46receivers coach.
00:47That was Kellen's first year at a Boise state when he red shirted.
00:51But the other aspect of this, that's interesting for a lot of people, how many times are you
00:54going to say interesting and where's the, where's the bell right over here.
01:00He was the receiver's coach for Cooper cup at Eastern Washington and with Cooper cup
01:05freshly on the block, people are now digging up old quotes from Cooper cup where he starts
01:09talking about nobody's better at getting the most out of you than junior Adams.
01:14I love him.
01:15Oh my gosh.
01:16He's, he's one of my favorite coaches of all time.
01:18Cooper cup is a massive fan of junior Adams.
01:22Are we connecting unnecessary dots here?
01:24Yes.
01:25Could it be, we need a number two receiver.
01:27We need, we need a number two receiver.
01:29It seems to make sense.
01:30Wouldn't Cooper cup be willing to have one of my favorite coaches.
01:33I'm willing to, to sacrifice this.
01:35I don't know if that's going to override the finances.
01:38Probably is not going to, but regardless, the question here about he'll go where Matt
01:42Stafford goes.
01:43If Sean McVay finally pushes him off the cliff, the interesting aspect here, the interesting
01:49aspect here is the fact that the Schottenheimer hires on offense.
01:55He has never worked with Clayton Adams.
01:57Junior Adams is a college coach that they're not connected to.
01:59Uh, you know, Riley is a coach who he coached BB, but the staff doesn't really have connections
02:04to whenever we talk about, Oh, this, this buddy system and Oh, it's the good old boys
02:09network.
02:10And Oh, I know this guy.
02:11So I'm going to hire him or, Oh, he was, I worked with his dad, so I'm going to hire
02:14him.
02:15Schottenheimer to his credit is looks like is filling out the offensive staff exclusively
02:19with just people that he thinks are, Oh, I'm hearing good recommendations about this guy.
02:24Let's hire him or let's do this or do that.
02:26There is a bit of a challenge.
02:28It seems like he's challenging his own comfort zone and saying, all right, I'm going to hire
02:32people that I'm not familiar with just because I've heard they're good coaches.
