Jerry Jones Considering a Controversial Choice as Cowboys HC

Jerry Jones is a controversial man. Well, this might take the cake. Following the vacancy in their head coaching post, the Dallas Cowboys are at a turning point, and rumors about possible successors have been circulating.

Given the abundance of creative, dynamic offensive thinkers in the NFL, supporters anticipated that team owner Jerry Jones would consider every possibility. Several names had been mentioned as potential candidates, including Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady, and Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.

Recent events, however, have taken an unexpected turn. According to a report by Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Brian Schottenheimer has become the clear favorite to be hired, which has caused both bewilderment and outrage among fans and analysts.

How can Brian Schottenheimer help Jerry Jones?

Having been the offensive coordinator for the Cowboys for the last two seasons, Schottenheimer hails from a football-loving family. His last name is significant because he is the son of renowned coach Marty Schottenheimer. His professional resume, however, presents a different image.

Schottenheimer has been an offensive coordinator in the NFL for 14 seasons, but his teams haven’t always been impressive. Even though his teams just twice placed in the top 10 in yards per game, they frequently failed to hold up against more formidable opponents. Even though Dallas’ offensive was in the top five in terms of yards and points per game the previous season, a large portion of that success was against inferior opponents. Frequently, Schottenheimer’s plans failed to adjust to elite defenses.

Despite these drawbacks, his affinity for the Jones family appears to be what motivated him to apply for the position. Being a well-known figure in the Cowboys organization, Schottenheimer would probably have little trouble embracing Jerry Jones’ plans for the team as a new head coach.
