Jones broke into the league by firing an NFL coaching icon in Tom Landry and replacing him with a college coach. Jimmy Johnson was a successful college coach, but that rarely translated into being a successful NFL coach in the late ’80s and early ’90s.

The curious part is that Brian has been an assistant coach since 1998, and while he had the tag of “Hot Assistant Coach” for a while, it faded. He’s served as an analyst, a quarterbacks coach, a tight ends coach, and an offensive coordinator since he started his career with the St. Louis Rams, in 1997.

We thought we'd take a look back at all the coaches that have led "America's Team" into competition since that very first year of action in 1960.

Jerry Jones once famously said 500 coaches could have won Super Bowls with those early 1990s Dallas Cowboys teams. The owner and general manager has made six hires since winning two Super Bowls with Jimmy Johnson and one with Barry Switzer. None that have followed have been able to get the Cowboys past the divisional round of the playoffs.

The Cowboys parted ways with coach Mike McCarthy after a rough season. The next candidate better be ready for what it's really like to work for Jerry Jones.

Many would call the Cowboys’ hiring of Brian Schottenheimer on Friday night as the next head coach a decision founded in comfort and safety. While that’s true from a football operations standpoint, it’s also perhaps the riskiest decision Jones could have made. That risk isn’t tied to wins and losses, but something Jones cares about even more.

Jerry Jones is a true master of puppets, pulling the strings and calling the shots like a pro. The post Generational Disappointment Forces Cowboys Legend to Aggressively Confront Jerry Jones’ Decision as ‘Enemies’ Near Super Bowl appeared first on EssentiallySports.
