Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer has received a brutal ranking.
Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer has received a brutal ranking. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer has gotten the new era at The Star off to a positive and impressive start. Advertisement Yes, not a snap has been played yet, but the vibe, energy and commitment to one another, which several Dallas legends have already lauded during OTAs and minicamp, has this Schottenheimer train pulling in the right direction. But once the football begins, that is where we can truly evaluate Schottenheimer; however, at this stage of the offseason, listicles are being made with rankings for positions, and now we have a head coach list. And in CBS Sports' ranking of all 32 head coaches, Schottenheimer comes in at No. 31. Advertisement "To say his promotion after Mike McCarthy's exit was an anticlimactic surprise would be an understatement," CBS Sports writes. "But this is Jerry Jones' show, so it's actually par for the course. Yes, Schottenheimer's name may be bigger than his resume, but this man first held a coordinator job way back in 2006; it's not like he's totally lacking in NFL chops. "Are we sure there isn't a remote possibility he makes like, say, Doug Pederson -- another former NFC East hire who was overlooked by all except his own team's powerful front office -- and proves to be just the approachable leader Dallas needs?" Brian Schottenheimer And DakBy Tony Fisher That could be seen as quite the kick to the stomach, but in truth, there is nothing to base the evaluation on. It is pure speculation, which is fine, but out of the other head coaches with limited experience in Kellen Moore (29), Aaron Glenn (28), Liam Coen (26) and Ben Johnson (24), what makes them "better" than Schottenheimer as a head coach? Advertisement We know that all have good skins on the wall as coordinators, but being a head coach? It's their first time, like Schottenheimer. Now it is up to Brian to prove the doubters wrong, and trust me, there are a lot of them, not that he concerns himself with them, though. Still being ranked 31 out of 32 NFL head coaches is a nice little motivation piece that we think, might make it across Brian's desk at some point this season. Schottenheimer has doubters everywhere, and the only way to silence them is to win football games, which we think he is hellbent on doing.

Gillies 'hopeful' of Rangers head coach appointment before season start
Rangers are "in the final stages of a great recruitment process" as they look to appoint a new head coach "in the next couple of weeks, if not sooner", confirms managing director Donald Gillies. Former England international Jo Potter departed Rangers four weeks ago after winning four cup trophies in two years at the club. "It has been going really well," Gillies told RangersTV. "The quality of the candidate has been excellent, really strong. "Probably a mark of the time that we have taken actually to get to the point that we are at right now. "I think for us it is about finding the right qualities in all those excellent candidates and resumes that we received and applying them from the context that we have. "We are in the final stages of that process and will be able to confirm what we are going to do, hopefully in the next couple of weeks if not sooner. "It has been a great process and it has really said a huge amount about where we are at as a women's club and really the strides that the women's game has made in Scotland that we are attracting some really highly qualified and impressive people." Rangers will take part in their first pre-season friendly next week and kick off their SWPL campaign on 17 August against Montrose. Gillies is hopeful of having a decision made by that point, but he will not rush the process. "Have someone in place for first pre-season game? Yes, that would be the hope but we are not held to it," he added. "That shouldn't go beyond the priority of making sure we get the right person."
