If there’s one thing NFL fans love to do, no matter what time of year, it’s rant and rave about anything and anyone involved with the League. Dallas Cowboys owner and recent Landman guest star Jerry Jones has certainly heard and earned his share of armchair-quarterback commentary over the years,
Adam Schefter shares funny story on the Pat McAfee Show about Jerry Jones breaking the news on Schottenheimer.
It’s been one heck of a week for Jerry Jones. The Cowboys’ owner had himself a day on Monday during Brian Schottenheimer’s introductory press conference when he began talking about “Schotty Shots” and noting that he got his hiring advice from Steve Spurrier — now he’s out here talking about glory holes for some reason.
Though it dominated the news cycle for quite some time after they split with Mike McCarthy, Deion Sanders was never actually a serious candidate for the Dallas Cowboys job.
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.
The first question was about why Jones hired Schottenheimer as head coach. Ten minutes of emotional rambling later, the tone was set, and it felt familiar to anyone who's followed the Cowboys in recent decades.
Jones: 'He's had 25 years being around the kinds of things that he's gonna have to draw on to be a coach of the Dallas Cowboys."
During a post-press conference media scrum on Monday, Cowboys owner and G.M. Jerry Jones played one of his greatest hits. With a twist. “There’s a very low percentage of this that is smiles and gloryholes ,” Jones said. Jones originally coined the gem during training camp in 2012.
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.
Jones said after introducing Brian Schottenheimer as the Cowboys' head coach that he only talked with Sanders.
Jerry Jones was widely criticized for the decision to hire Brian Schottenheimer and the process that led to the move. The Cowboys owner pushed back.
