There seems to be a new energy surrounding the Cowboys.
Quite a few fans around Cowboys Nation wasn't exactly thrilled with the Dallas Cowboys decision to replace Mike McCarthy with Brian Schottenheimer as the new head coach. Schottenheimer really wasn't on anybody's radar as a head coach candidate in the league, and yet, that is the direction Jerry Jones decided to go.
As a first time head coach, Schottenheimer has a lot to prove and will have to do it under a microscope. Nearly everyone will be heavily scrutinizing every little move he makes now that he's running the show for one of the most popular sports franchises in the entire world.
Schottenheimer knows what he signed up for though, and believes he's capable of doing the job. It's going to be really interesting to follow his journey, and so far, early indications show that he's off to a good start with the Cowboys. The early impact he's making already shows positive signs he's changing the teams culture in a positive way.
