Dez Bryant Criticizes Cowboys' Brian Schottenheimer Promotion

The Dallas Cowboys have promoted Brian Schottenheimer from offensive coordinator to head coach, following the departure of Mike McCarthy, a move that has sparked criticism from fans and former players. Dez Bryant and Michael Irvin have voiced their discontent, with Bryant stating, 'Somebody is getting sabotaged,' and expressing a desire for an outside hire, such as Deion Sanders. Despite Schottenheimer's previous success in elevating the Cowboys' offense, many believe his promotion is a continuation of nepotistic decisions within the organization, contributing to a culture that prioritizes politics over winning. The Cowboys have not reached a conference title game since 1996, a statistic that exacerbates the frustration among supporters. The decision has drawn mixed reactions, with some urging fans to give Schottenheimer a chance, while others remain skeptical about the direction of the team. As the Cowboys prepare for a new season, the focus will be on whether Schottenheimer can break the team's long-standing playoff drought.
