Cowboys’ Jerry Jones stands by Brian Schottenheimer amid firing speculation

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones expressed unwavering support for head coach Brian Schottenheimer following speculation of his dismissal. Despite challenges experienced in the first two years of Schottenheimer's tenure, Jones remains confident in his long-term potential. The coach, who began his NFL head coaching career with the Cowboys, aimed to steer the team back to the playoffs.

However, the team struggled initially but made strides in both offensive and defensive performances. Jones' optimism for Schottenheimer's future growth with the franchise was evident during a media appearance on Friday. With the Cowboys currently sitting at second place in the NFC East Division, trailing only the New York Giants, Jones believes the team can climb higher in the upcoming 2026 campaign if they address their defensive shortcomings.

The team remains 10th in the conference, leading the Washington Commanders and New Orleans Saints, and trailing the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks. Dallas is set to host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10, with the game kicking off on November 15th at 4:25 p.m. ET.
