The Dallas Cowboys filled their open head coaching vacancy Friday, hiring offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to replace Mike McCarthy as the head man in Dallas. Former Cowboys wide receiver and longtime NFL Network analyst Michael Irvin talked about the hire on his YouTube channel on Saturday,

Kellen Moore helped the Philadelphia Eagles over the Washington Commanders as they racked up 459 yards of offense in a record-setting 55-23 victory. ... while Dallas Cowboys fans could only sit and watch.

Former Cowboys WR Michael Irvin did not hold back when unloading on his former team for their disappointing 2024 season.

Jones made the comfortable move that likely won't cost too much to replace Mike McCarthy as the Cowboys head coach

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.

Here comes the gossip that would have Jerry Jones already forfeiting the 2025 season, tanking so his Cowboys can select University of Texas QB Arch Manning in the 2026 NFL Draft.

But not this time. No, Jerry Jones wanted to sneak the announcement of Brian Schottenheimer being named the franchise’s 10th head coach under the radar, leaking the word just before 9:45 pm eastern on a Friday night.

That’s what happened on Friday night. In making perhaps the most uninspired head-coaching hire in team history (Dave Campo might have a case otherwise), Jerry knew to not pound on the front door but to slip through a basement window.

The late Jan. 24 announcement that Brian Schottenheimer will be the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys has elicited reaction from a wide variety of pundits and football experts.

"I don't know what will happen with coach Schottenheimer and the Dallas Cowboys, but Jerry Jones is a shrewd, shrewd businessman, and this (Deion Sanders) opportunity, I'm shocked he did not see." - Michael Irvin.

Dallas Cowboys legend Michael Irvin said owner Jerry Jones made a mistake by not hiring Deion Sanders to be the franchise's next head coach."We lost an opportunity here," Irvin said in a video posted to his YouTube channel.
