The owner of the Dallas Cowboys team, Jerry Jones, crossed fans when the team announced that Brian Schottenheimer would be the next team chief coach, but they were his comments to the journalists on Monday that they raised their eyebrows.
It was not exactly Jones defending the decision that caught the attention of the NFL world. It was more how he said it.

“There is a very low percentage of this that are the smiles and glory holes. Very low percentage,” he told Fox 4 Dallas when asked about his feelings towards the reactions of cowboys fans.
The use of Jones of the phrase “Glory Hole” drew confusion and mockery. The two best known references for the term are a careful storage place or a hole in the wall used for sexual exploitation. However, Jones seemed to refer to an open quarry.
Glory Hole is also a term used in the oil and gas industry as a type of mining at sea to protect the icebergs equipment or ice packages. Jones earned money in the oil and gas industry before he decided to buy the cowboys in 1989.

Sports Illustrated said it was not the first time he referred to.
“I’ve been here when they were days of glory, and I’ve been here when it wasn’t. Having said that, I want me to want a glory hole,” he said in 2012, through Houston Chronicle.
When they were written like this, the Cowboys have not found any glory hole since the mid -1990s, when they won the Super Bowl and the United States team was considered.

The incorporation of Schottenheimer was far from the marquee that fans expected, but the cowboys were 12-5 for three consecutive seasons before they were treated with numerous injuries in 2024.
