When the Dallas Cowboys made Brian Schottenheimer the 10th head coach in franchise history after showing Mike McCarthy the door after five seasons, there were naturally some concerns from fans of America's Team.
First and foremost, of course, there's the matter of Schottenheimer never having been a head coach at any level. And truth be told, up until his hiring, there was really never any chatter about him being considered for that role, whether that be in the NFL, the collegiate level, or anywhere else.
But inexperience as the top guy aside, one major knock on Schottenheimer has been that he's far too soft on players, as he's never been seen as the most intense guy and has typically been viewed as a player-friendly kind of a coach, effectively the complete opposite of his famous father, Marty Schottenheimer.
