Jerry Jones defended himself on Monday after facing backlash about hiring Brian Schottenheimer as the new head coach of the Cowboys.

Schottenheimer replaced Mike McCarthy, who recently departed after five seasons. McCarthy (49-35) led the Cowboys to the postseason three times, getting just one victory. McCarthy also produced three consecutive 12-win seasons.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was blunt as always when assessing his hire of Brian Schottenheimer as his next head coach during an introductory press conference on Monday.

Owner Jerry Jones explains why Schottenheimer was the choice to replace Mike McCarthy after disappointing 7-10 season.

Schottenheimer, who has been with Dallas for the last three seasons, served as Seattle’s offensive coordinator under Pete Carroll from 2018-2020.

The Cowboys have taken plenty of heat for their decision to delay Mike McCarthy‘s ouster only to circle back and promote his two-year OC. Brian Schottenheimer is now the Cowboys’ HC, rising to a top job despite not interviewing for one anywhere else over the past decade.

Former Bengals and Rams standout Andrew Whitworth recently gave his thoughts on Dallas’ head coaching move, reliving some of his past meetings with Schottenheimer in the NFC West. Whitworth suited up for the Rams while Schottenheimer was calling offensive plays in Seattle from 2018-20.
