Michael Irvin, a Hall of Fame Cowboys wide receiver, expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Dallas Cowboys’ hiring of Brian Schottenheimer as head coach. Irvin, who spent 12 years in Dallas, criticized the decision for missing an opportunity to hire Deion Sanders, another former Cowboy.
“I don’t know what happened,” Irvin said, highlighting the team’s lack of discipline within its ranks. “We were fourth in penalties this season and still lost an opportunity.” He emphasized that bringing in someone familiar with the team structure could prevent potential issues down the line.
The Cowboys currently face a 30-year drought in Super Bowl victories, with Jones reportedly passing on Sanders during his decision-making process. Irvin also touched on the team’s struggles against the Chiefs and the importance of earning their moniker again.
Irvin’s comments underscore his belief that internal hiring limits the team’s ability to address systemic issues without external expertise. His criticism comes amid interest in Sanders, who has experience as a college head coach but hasn’t been considered for the Cowboys’ role yet.
