He\u2019d been around the best staffs \u2014 all that osmosis. It\u2019s like having a coach who\u2019s been a head coach five times, but never got the title. That gives him juice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones did not stop there. The longtime iconoclast compared Schottenheimer\u2019s drive to that of former Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s glorious after the game when you\u2019ve won and you\u2019re having that beer,\u201d he said, smiling. \u201cBut to get there, it\u2019s hard. Competitive. Those big highs? You live off those forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson famously led the Cowboys to victories in Super Bowl XXVII and Super Bowl XXVIII, and was a key part of why the franchise was able to experience a renaissance in the 90s.<\/p>\n<p>Like Schottenheimer, Johnson\u2019s first NFL head coaching job was with the Cowboys, but he had already built significant experience at the helm of the University of Miami\u2019s powerhouse program. Schottenheimer had not been responsible for an entire team or program prior to this season.<\/p>\n<p>A win against Denver could place the Cowboys in the playoff conversation, but the team will have to continue to improve its defensive output if they have designs on making a legitimate run. Entering Sunday\u2019s games, the Cowboys\u2019 defense has surrendered the most yards in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo some degree, we didn\u2019t have no way to go but up on defense,\u201d Jones told Jon Machota of The Athletic after the team\u2019s 44-22 Week 7 win over the Washington Commanders. \u201cBut I didn\u2019t expect this kind of performance from our defense. So, kudos to (defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus) and certainly Brian Schottenheimer. He had a lot of fingerprints on this. \u2026 He\u2019s the head coach, obviously he calls the (offensive) plays, and there he is spending a lot of (last) week working with the defensive coordinator. That\u2019s a coach. That is a coach right there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a big day for Brian. A lot of people would say there\u2019s not enough minutes to go around to cover all that ground. He\u2019s so engaged and he\u2019s so appreciative of his chance to be doing this that I believe he would spend 36 hours a day if he needed to, do a little work back in the equipment room (if needed). Give him a lot of credit here.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones recently dropped a nostalgic take on first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":113203,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[872,54,264,485,9],"class_list":["post-113202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl","tag-brian-schottenheimer","tag-dallas-cowboys","tag-jerry-jones","tag-jimmy-johnson","tag-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
