Football fans are teeing off on Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys over his surprise choice as the team’s next head coach.
On Friday night, the Cowboys announced that they have named Brian Schottenheimer their new head coach. Schottenheimer spent the last two seasons as the offensive coordinator under then-head coach Mike McCarthy, though the latter was the offensive play-caller.
Schottenheimer joined the Cowboys’ coaching staff in 2022, starting out as a coaching analyst. Schottenheimer, who has nearly 30 years of football coaching experience, has never been a head coach before.
Needless to say, social media wasted no time ripping on Jerry Jones and the Cowboys for the curious decision to promote Schottenheimer to HC duties.
“Been a fan for 30 years. Even named my son Landry. This might be the breaking point of giving up as a Cowboys fan. What an embarrassment of an organization,” quipped a fan.

“I never used to understand why so many people turned their back on the cowboys as fans but now I’ve never understood it more. Joke of a franchise,” said another.

“Lifelong fan here you have alienated me to the point that I no longer have an interest in the performance of this team. Don’t care about winning? Now, neither do I,” wrote a fan.

“The only people who will tune in are other NFC East teams. I’m sure this is exciting getting a guaranteed two wins each next year. After 52 years, most embarrassing time I’ve had being a fan,” remarked another.
