The Cowboys are reportedly thinking about hiring… Brian Schottenheimer? –

Look for the Cowboys to cross the finish line on hiring Brian Schottenheimer no later than Friday, possibly today

Now that Brian Schottenheimer has had a 2nd interview to be head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, somebody please ask Jerry why the son of a highly respected NFL head coach is 51 AND HAS NEVER ONCE BEEN OFFERED AN NFL HEAD-COACH JOB and why he has had 13 assistant jobs in 28 years???

If Jerry actually promotes Brian Schottenheimer to head coach, my wallet is staying on strike‼️

No tickets, no Cowboys gear, no tailgating, no looking forward to training camp, nothing.

Being a Cowboys fan is becoming a test of endurance.

Marty Schottenheimer’s son, as you’re probably aware. Brian is the Cowboys’ offensive coordinator and has bounced between the college and NFL ranks for something like 25 years now, but has never been a head coach. He’s been an OC for the Jets, Rams, and Seahawks in addition to the Cowboys and had a stint with Urban Meyer’s Jaguars before Urban was shitcanned. Then Doug Pederson came in, did not retain Schottenheimer, and he found his way to Dallas as an analyst. After Kellen Moore left for the Chargers, he was promoted to his current position.

Obviously this is underwhelming if you’re a Dallas fan, but perfect for everyone else in the division. Jerry Jones is a dum dum. He waits to handle business with Mike McCarthy, and they can’t agree to a new contract, so all of a sudden he’s now looking for a new head coach and is behind schedule. Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, and Mike Vrabel took new gigs already and likely weren’t interested in a Dallas team where 40% of the salary cap is dedicated to Dak coming off an injury and CeeDee Lamb. Hopefully Jerruh lives forever. I said maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybayyyyy
