## Resource

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer is under mounting pressure after a dismal 7-9-1 start, with his struggling defense driving the criticism. Despite bringing in new defensive coordinator Christian Parker, the unit’s performance—especially in Week One against the Giants—shows little improvement. Analysts warn that without a drastic turnaround, Schottenheimer could face another losing season and a precarious future. While the Jones family has historically been patient with coaches—even giving Jason Garrett multiple eight-win seasons—Schottenheimer’s record now stands at 7-10-1. Though blame can’t be solely placed on the coordinators, the ultimate responsibility falls on Schottenheimer. Jerry Jones may be showing signs of impatience, but history suggests he’ll give Schottenheimer time… for now. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
