Cowboys’ Brian Schottenheimer must eventually back up boastful declarations

Writing for The Landry Hat, Levi Dombro argues that Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer must back up his confident public declarations following a 33-30 overtime loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Despite Schottenheimer calling himself a problem solver, the writer contends that questionable conservative play-calling and game management contributed directly to the Week 8 defeat.

Dombro highlights issues including conservative third-down run calls, settling for long Brandon Aubrey field goals, and blowing a late 27-17 lead. With Dallas falling to a 10-14-1 record under Schottenheimer, the writer believes the head coach risks losing credibility with the fanbase and locker room.
