The rent of Jerry Jones for the new coach of the Dallas Cowboys has encountered a violent reaction, and it seems that the owner himself feels that he is betting.
The Cowboys announced a surprising option to replace Mike McCarthy on Friday night when it was revealed that the offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer had agreed to take the reins in the historical franchise.
The controversial appointment was received with Fury from the Dallas fans base, including the tastes of Skip Bayless, about the lack of training in Chief of Schottenheimer.
And Jones, who also acts as a general manager of the franchise, acknowledged that he had moved away considerably from Beaten Path in his last search for a chief coach to lead his beloved jeans.
“If you do not think it can operate outside my comfort zone, you are so wrong that it is incredible,” Jones told the journalists of Schottenheimer's presentation the presentation of Monday. 'This (hiring of Schottenheimer) is a risk as great as it can run. Without experience in chief coach
Let me share something with you. With all that, you just listened to that he refers to his osmosis, his family. If someone in this room does not believe that the apple does not fall too far from the tree, it has lost it somewhere on the road. Especially if there was an effort to do it that way. And there was an effort.

'But then you go to the innumerable number of chief coaches with whom Schotty has attended and has been present, the innumerable players, how often do you have someone who has 25 or 26 years of work through human relations, aspiring To learn, having? You are very open looking for techniques and things that coaches improve?
Jones was referring to the legendary NFL coach of Schottenheimer, father, Marty Schottenheimer, whom the new chief coach accredited for his knowledge.
Schottenheimer is the ninth coach hired by the owner Jerry Jones since Jones bought the team in 1989 and fired the only coach that the Cowboys had for their first 29 seasons, the member of the Hall of Fame of Football Football Teacher Tom Landry.
Schottenheimer is the seventh Jones employee since the last time the cowboys advanced beyond the Divisional Round of the playoffs in 1995, when the club won its fifth Super Bowl title. An introductory press conference is planned for Monday.
Jones hired McCarthy, a Super Bowl winner with Green Bay in 2010, hoping to finish what is now the longest stretch of any NFC team without reaching a conference championship game.
Dallas made three consecutive postseason trips in 2021 to 2023, but won only one playoff game.
Schottenheimer joined the cowboys as a consultant in 2022 and moved to the role of offensive coordinator when McCarthy took over the game tasks a year later.
Prescott had one of the best years of his career in the first season with that agreement, ending as a runner -up in the NFL MVP vote, but the cowboys stumbled late before an shocking loss of wild cards in Green Bay.

The second season of Schottenheimer with Prescott was a fight almost from the beginning, even before the hamlet lesion that ends the Prescott season. The cowboys were 7-10, finishing a three-year race of 12-5.
McCarthy, who had his NFL training in Kansas City staff at Marty Schottenheimer in 1993, brought the young Schottenheimer after a season as coordinator of Jacksonville's air game.
Meanwhile, Jones can have another hiring to defend himself shortly after it was reported that former Bears chief coach Eberflus will become the new offensive coordinator, indicating a return to the franchise for the 54 -year -old man .
Eberflus was previously the team's coach from 2011 to 2015 under Jason Garrett before taking care of the coordinators of the pass game until 2017.
He was then hired by Colts as his 2018 defensive coordinator to 2021, before obtaining his first, and so far, only a chief coach work in Chicago.
