Dez Bryant criticizes Cowboys' Schottenheimer hire

The Dallas Cowboys' decision to hire Brian Schottenheimer as head coach has drawn mixed reactions. Former Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant criticized the hire, suggesting it indicates the organization is not serious about contending during quarterback Dak Prescott's prime. In contrast, owner Jerry Jones expressed optimism about Schottenheimer's coaching staff, praising his ability to assemble a strong group, which he believes will bring a more creative offensive approach. Stephen Jones defended the hire, asserting that the team does not need a complete overhaul and emphasizing continuity alongside change. He compared Schottenheimer to other successful coaches who were initially seen as questionable hires. The future of the Cowboys under Schottenheimer remains uncertain, but the leadership insists they have a clear plan moving forward.
