The Dallas Cowboys made the surprising decision to hire the offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as a team chief coach after the team separated from Mike McCarthy and rumors emerged on the interest of Deion Sanders in the position.
Schottenheimer is the son of the legendary Marty Schottenheimer and spent the last two seasons as Dallas offensive coordinator under McCarthy. He was also offensive coordinator of the New York Jets from 2006 to 2011, the St. Louis Rams from 2012 to 2014 and the Seattle Seahawks from 2018 to 2020. The cowboys will be the first team in which he will serve as a chief coach.

Not everyone was excited with the team’s owner’s decision, Jerry Jones, about Schottenheimer. Fans announced their opinions on social networks.
The legend of the cowboys and member of the Hall of Fame, Michael Irvin, was not happy either.
“Here is my problem. We lost a chance here. I don’t know what happened to coach Schottenheimer and Cowboys, but Jerry is a cunning and cunning businessman, and I’m surprised that I haven’t seen this opportunity. I was pressing.” That Deion Sanders is the next chief coach, and I am still 10 fingers away from that push, “he said in a video posted on his YouTube channel.
He pointed out that the NFC championship will be played between two NFC East teams: the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders.
“Let me break it up,” he said. “We have two NFC teams in the NFC championship game that will be played tomorrow. All eyes put on them. Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders. Our enemies on all fronts. And they are in a position that does not We have kept in 30 damn years, the longest drought for any NFC Este team, 30 years … you bring someone who is already inside as a chief coach and you lose things that you cannot recover and that worry me. “
Irvin expressed concern that the cowboys lose their position at the conference.

“We are losing ground in the NFC … it was time to bring someone here who could change things and seize this last stage of the Cowboys nation,” he added. “If we have 30 years at this time, and life expectancy is 100 years, that means, mathematically, that one third of the Cowboys nation has never felt or lived the glory of a championship story. I don’t even know it .
“Worse yet, that generation has seen the total domain of a team called Kansas City Chiefs, which in that period is approaching to win three in a row. So you are not only losing football matches here and opportunities here and divisions” here, you are About that we snatch our nickname. “
It is not clear how serious the conversations between the Cowboys and Sanders were. He won interest among fans, but Sanders made clear his love for the Colorado football program.
