Adam Schefter shares funny story on the Pat McAfee Show about Jerry Jones breaking the news on Schottenheimer.

Jerry Jones both admitted he’s taking a major risk and delivered a message to critics on Monday sitting beside his new Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has never shied away from theatrics (literally, he was an actor in a recent Landman episode ), but his answer for why the team promoted Brian Schottenheimer to be the team’s new head coach might be one of the strangest, most riveting moments of his ownership tenure.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones went to great lengths to show Adam Schefter how confident he is in Brian Schottenheimer.

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones pushed back hard on the notion that his decision to promote offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to be his next head coach was one made out of comfort.

Here’s hoping Schotty is more successful than most of his predecessors in Jerry’s great experiment. We’ll see. Like the rest, he’ll need a lot of luck. He’ll also need to be a lot better than his GM. The good news is it’s a low bar. That’s also the bad news.
