The Dallas Cowboys have been actively searching for their new head coach after surprising fans and analysts throughout the NFL by parting ways with former head coach Mike McCarthy. Almost immediately following this news, speculation emerged regarding Deion Sanders potentially leaving his position with the Colorado Buffaloes to take the job. Although Sanders confirmed that he had been in discussions with team owner and general manager Jerry Jones, no significant developments appear to have arisen from those talks. Now, according to a prominent Cowboys insider, Dallas seems to be nearing their next head coach.
“Look for the Cowboys to cross the finish line on hiring Brian Schottenheimer no later than Friday, possibly today,” reported Clarence Hill Jr. on Friday. Fans have reacted to the news on social media, with one user stating, “If Brian Schottenheimer is any bit like Marty was, expect the Cowboys to be more detail-oriented and physical than they have been in recent years under McCarthy.” Another fan expressed, “Before you guys send hate towards Jerry Jones, remember you aren’t just attacking a Hall of Fame owner but also a father, husband, and Christian. Just because you may not like this move doesn’t diminish what he’s contributed to this team, and we should look forward to seeing him lead our Cowboys.” However, not all responses were positive, with one fan saying, “Just another reason why the Cowboys aren’t a desirable or attractive destination anymore!” Another chimed in, “Excellent news for those of us who cannot stand the Cowboys!” It’ll be interesting to see how Schottenheimer performs in his first season at the helm.
