In Order to Turn Around Dallas Cowboys …Schottenheimer Needs God
Forget about a new left tackle and some improved QB play … Michael Irvin says Brian Schottenheimer‘s going to need some holy water and crucifixes to turn around the Cowboys — telling TMZ Sports he’s convinced the only way the new head coach succeeds in Dallas is through an act of God.The Playmaker went on a diatribe about Jerry Jones‘ newest hire while in New Orleans last week … making it 100 percent clear he doesn’t think Schottenheimer has much of a chance at wins without God’s help.
In the middle of a crowded Bourbon Street … Irvin yelled at the top of his lungs that a higher power is going to be necessary in order to make the Schottenheimer move ultimately make sense for the Cowboys.“When He takes a Brian Schottenheimer, the least likely of them all, and then He gives him that position, and He does something great, you yourself will say it must’ve been God,” Irvin said. “Because we damn well know it wasn’t Brian Schottenheimer!”
Irvin, of course, has not been shy about the Cowboys’ head coaching position in the wake of Mike McCarthy‘s departure … as he was adamant that Deion Sanders would have been the best choice.
Doesn’t seem his mind’s changed much in the ensuing days … because Irvin added, “There are great odds against Brian Schottenheimer in turning around the Cowboys in a great way.”Schottenheimer will nonetheless get on the road to turning around Dallas soon — organized team activities begin in just a few weeks … with or without rosary beads.As the Dallas Cowboys go through a transition period with Brian Schottenheimer taking over as head coach, one of the more respected voices as it pertains to NFL and Cowboys dialogue, Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, is one that was heard this week. On Tuesday, he was on hand alongside quarterback Dak Prescott for the Children’s Cancer Fund event in Dallas to help raise awareness and funds for research, as he spoke on the current state of the franchise with Schottenheimer taking over ahead of a critical offseason for the team.
