NFL Trade Rumors
Dak Prescott gave his thoughts on the Cowboys hiring Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach, pointing out he’s an “old fashioned” type of person being the son of former NFL head coach of 21 years, Marty Schottenheimer.
“Understanding the type of coach he is, the type of man he is, the way that he approaches the game, I think the best way to exemplify that is the son of a legendary football coach,” Prescott said, via Tommy Yarrish of the team’s site. “He’s not going to take anything about this game lightly. He enjoys the work in it, kind of old fashioned. I’m looking forward to the grind and some things that we’re going to do and he’s going to add, excited for him, I know he’s ready for it, he’s been in the system a long time.”‘
Prescott praised Schottenheimer for his diligence in putting together his coaching staff.
“For him to go through the due diligence of getting the guys in, interviewing them, and then taking it amongst the other guys that are there and making final decisions, I think speaks highly of his approach and the way that he’s going to take care of things,” Prescott said.
Although Schottenheimer did not call plays last season, Prescott mentioned how he was a “big part” of their offense.
“He was a big part in the on-game process, which call was being made,” Prescott said. “I was on the headsets the latter part of the year [after being injured], so I heard all of that. Very professional guy who is ready and deserves every bit of this opportunity.”
