"How,'' wonders Cowboys legend Irvin of the in-house hire of coach Brian Schottenheimer, "do you do the same damn thing and get something different?"

But not this time. No, Jerry Jones wanted to sneak the announcement of Brian Schottenheimer being named the franchise’s 10th head coach under the radar, leaking the word just before 9:45 pm eastern on a Friday night.

Many would call the Cowboys’ hiring of Brian Schottenheimer on Friday night as the next head coach a decision founded in comfort and safety. While that’s true from a football operations standpoint, it’s also perhaps the riskiest decision Jones could have made. That risk isn’t tied to wins and losses, but something Jones cares about even more.

The curious part is that Brian has been an assistant coach since 1998, and while he had the tag of “Hot Assistant Coach” for a while, it faded. He’s served as an analyst, a quarterbacks coach, a tight ends coach, and an offensive coordinator since he started his career with the St. Louis Rams, in 1997.

Jerry Jones' search to replace Mike McCarthy didn't take him far. The Cowboys are hiring Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach.

Mike Zimmer will not be returning as the defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys in 2025, and will most likely retire.

The Cowboys promoted offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to head coach, and it is "Schotty's'' plan to serve as his own play-caller.

Jerry Jones is a true master of puppets, pulling the strings and calling the shots like a pro. The post Generational Disappointment Forces Cowboys Legend to Aggressively Confront Jerry Jones’ Decision as ‘Enemies’ Near Super Bowl appeared first on EssentiallySports.
