BREAKING: Troy Aikman weighs in on Cowboys’ hiring of Brian Schottenheimer as head coach
FRISCO, Texas — To say Troy Aikman knows a thing or two about what a winning head coach looks like would be akin to saying the moon has a great view of the Earth. So when the Dallas Cowboys’ legend and Hall of Fame quarterback was asked if Brian Schottenheimer is ready for what will be the biggest and most daunting job of his coaching career, Aikman was honest.
And, in that honesty, he made it clear this is a situation Schottenheimer, a first-time NFL head coach, will have to acclimate to quickly in order for success to arrive swiftly.
“I don’t know if you ever are ready,” Aikman said, speaking from an annual Children’s Cancer Fund event in Dallas alongside co-chair Dak Prescott. “I hear it’s one of those jobs that, until you get in that seat and really understand everything that goes into it, you’re not quite prepared, but he’s been coaching a long time; and he’s obviously watched it with his dad.
