"It felt like Jerry was taking over the Cowboys as their head coach."
The Athletic's NFL insider described Jones' bizarre press conference introducing Brian Schottenheimer as a masterclass in awkwardness.
"I watched eight minutes on my phone of this thing. Because I was awestruck"
No head coaching experience!
"The definition of insanity is doing things over and over and over, in a way you see fit -- and expecting different results,"
"Schotty is freaking coaching the Cowboys. And it’s not even an Onion headline."
"I know that if he got the opportunity and if they joined forces, this would be awesome to watch."
"Who have they got to play Jerry Jones?"
Based on recent history, expect Jerry Jones' search for a new coach to drag on.
"If any of these media members question the moves I'm making, they will be fired on the spot."
"There's great respect and admiration between the two men."
Witten of course played for the Cowboys for 15 seasons before briefly retiring to become a color analyst on Monday Night Football.
"I'm not sure I would necessarily agree with that."
Daniel proposed that the Cowboys' lack of hustle to bring back McCarthy might be about waiting to see if Tomlin's on the market.
"Jerry Jones going toe to toe with Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Hamm is insane."
"I bought something I was going to do for the rest of my life. That’s what I’m doing."
"The Dallas Cowboys and Mike McCarthy has to show him something. You can't just roll over here at the end of the year."
"I feel the locker room wants him back."
"[I’m] almost feeling helpless like I can’t help him in this situation."
"Ain't one player on that team got a damn brand because you ain't won nothing -- because you don't care about winning."
"Stephen A. is a fraud in a positive sense and I’m smiling. We are friends."
"Great sources have told me that."
"I spent Friday night with Jerry Jones. I spent Saturday with Deion Sanders."
