Jerry Jones and the Cowboys are taking a lot of heat for hiring first-time head coach Brian Schottenheimer. But here's why it makes sense.

After the Cowboys parted ways with former head coach Mike McCarthy, Sanders was a name that was linked to the role, but he was never formally interviewed. Schottenheimer, who along with Robert Saleh and Kellen Moore, was the only other name on the short list of candidates and he was offered an interview.

Michael Irvin, even in retirement, loves the Dallas Cowboys. After all, he played his entire career in Dallas, so his indignation at the franchise's latest coaching decision had him weeping.

On Friday the Cowboys hired offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, who has been with the team since 2022, giving him his first-ever head coaching position. Afterward, Irvin went to his YouTube channel to show his dismay over Sanders not receiving the job.
