Cowboys are hiring offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach, Jerrry Jones tells ESPN. “Brian Schottenheimer is known as a career assistant,” Jones said. “He ain’t Brian no more. He is now known as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.” pic.twitter.com/JtGoltP1mC

Just like Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, and Bill Parcells, Brian Schottenheimer is the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Just like Chan Gailey, Dave Campo and Wade Phillips. Unlike with every previous hire Jerry has made since he bought the Cowboys in 1989, there is no good way to spin something that reeks of Campo 2.0.

This was the biggest “who cares” hire the team has ever made. In other words, this was Jerry Jones at his best which, for Cowboys fans, generally means the worst. To him, the hiring of a head coach ranks alongside announcing last summer that Michaels is the team’s official creative store sponsor.
