Fans Ready To Quit On Dallas Cowboys After Hiring Brian Schottenheimer<\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n

\"Dallas<\/p>\n

\n

A year after Jerry Jones claimed he\u2019d be \u201call-in\u201d on the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys, the owner chose to give up on the team for a few years as it heads through a bizarre rebuild with a new head coach.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Jones waited until moments before the start of the 2024 regular season to extend quarterback Dak Prescott to a new contract extension. The delay ruined the Cowboys\u2019 opportunity to add meaningful free agents in the offseason. It also meant Dallas is set to pay Prescott $60 million per year on a maximized roster.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys are stuck in mediocrity.<\/p>\n

Following a 5-12 season, Jones chose not to bring back (pay) Mike McCarthy to oversee a multi-year tank job.<\/p>\n

Per the Cowboys\u2019 website, Jones\u00a0promoted\u00a0Brian Schottenheimer from offensive coordinator to head coach on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrian Schottenheimer is all set to officially become the 10th head coach in the history of the Dallas Cowboys, the two sides agreeing to terms on Friday evening after two extensive interviews earlier in the week,\u201d per the Cowboys. \u201cThe team will hold a press conference Monday, Jan. 27 at 11 a.m. CT to formally announce the decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

At 51, Schottenheimer has no head coaching experience. He doesn\u2019t have good offensive coordinator experience. McCarthy wouldn\u2019t let the son of Marty Schottenheimer call plays for Dallas in the last two seasons.<\/p>\n

Future Houston Texans fans do not like the hire<\/h2>\n

Cowboys fans on social media have been frustrated with reports that Jones was seriously considering hiring Schottenheimer. They\u2019re about ready to be done with Dallas after the team confirmed they were hiring the former backup quarterback to Danny Wuerffel at Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere is to more years of losing !! This is getting depressing,\u201d\u00a0wrote\u00a0a fan.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespicable decision! Boycotting this organization! After 40 years!,\u201d\u00a0posted another.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the moment I might quit the fanbase,\u201d\u00a0commented\u00a0a fan.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI said the same thing- 37 yrs f conscientious cheering, 2nd generation fan and I think I\u2019m done- at least till they sell or they hire a real GM,\u201d\u00a0suggested\u00a0another.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s it I can\u2019t support this team until Jerry\u2019s out,\u201d\u00a0replied\u00a0a frustrated fan.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI give up being a Cowboys fan,\u201d\u00a0wrote\u00a0another.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cDone with the cowboys. Go Chiefs,\u201d\u00a0commented\u00a0a fan.<\/div>\n
