LSU$$$•51 months

CanebreakCajun•51 months

Brady did not bring a spread. It’s had some spread, but it wasn’t a spread.

dchotard•51 months

do he no? SMDH.

wesman21•51 months

LSU$$$•51 months

CanebreakCajun•51 months

The kind that is going to make a million a year

Is this a joke? He's the antithesis of Brady, and was finally run out of Dallas for the same reason Les was fired. Refusal to change, and gross and obvious predictability on a very stale offensive scheme. Hopefully Coach E has got the Brady passing game/tree down, and can relegate this guy to his assistant until he's up to speed on a dynamic passing game and pace.

frick!!!!!

Da #1 Stunna•51 months

NOT A FAN!! This guy couldn't get it to work with Zeke, Dak and the best O-line in football. This is a name hire. I pray he proves me wrong, but I am not excited about this guy replacing Brady.

FireFireFireCEO•51 months

Amen to this entire post. REALLY hope this somehow works out, but this guy is about as creative as a manila folder.. - signed, Cowboys fan.

CanebreakCajun•51 months

Trust in CEO.

HoustonGumbeauxGuy•51 months

Impressive resume! .....for me to poop on.

Zeek•51 months

Elite players that executes effectively will make any coach look like a genius. Coach O told y'all that this is a players driven team. Why are you guys complaining. You guys are like Mikey you hate everything,at first anyway. Or we in Louisiana or Missouri the show me state. Because y'all don't believe nothing until you see it. And you haven't learned from your past doubts. Ol ye of little faith.

tigerpawl•51 months

2014 Cowboys comp pct: 69%. Not too shabby.

CanebreakCajun•51 months

He is not the OC guys, he is the passing game coordinator. We have Brady’s playbook. If he can add something then great, if not it’s a 2 year deal

LouisianaLonghorn•51 months

Why not promote Munoz?

BabyTac•51 months

Hopefully he’s not in charge of anything more than fixing Oeaux a ham sandwich.

tigersfan1989•51 months

No matter who they were going to pick people weren't going to be happy, well because it's not Brady.

Blind Zebras•51 months

So we hire an old guy who gets run out of every town he’s in. Well at least we will always have 2019 season

LSU FSU Grad•51 months

We'll see. No one knew Brady and that worked out well. Everyone knows Linehan has it's hard to have a more established resume. Lot's of NFL experience as OC, PGC, HC. We'll see, but you'd think O has earned the benefit of the doubt. Not so much with the perpetual melters.

NFLU7•51 months

You can give O the benefit of the doubt but this hire is pretty bizarre. Linehan flopped in Dallas.

gumbeaux10•51 months

These mf on here won't be happy even if he hired Jesus Christ himself

LSU FSU Grad•51 months

It will be interesting when this hire goes as well as the Brady hire and ALL of these NegaTigers will suddenly jump on board...again!

JustinT37•51 months

We could not have screwed this coaching hiring anymore than this. Should apologize to Myles Brennan...

gumbeaux10•51 months

I don't get you people, because Coach O didn't hire who you felt he should hire, you're questioning his decision? Didn't O just win a nc?

JustinT37•51 months

@gumbeaux10 Now, we can’t question Coach O!? I don’t like the hire’s coaching career. We went from a young man bringing a new style to the exact opposite. I’ve been wrong before...

LouisianaLonghorn•51 months

Yep. After winning the NC with the most prolific passing offense in college football history, this is the best we could do? Seriously??
