Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones feels very confident about his choice to hire Brian Schottenheimer as the team's next head coach.
Jones spoke with Dianna Russini of The Athletic and explained that Schottenheimer's experience and family lineage were key reasons why he was hired.
"I looked at 25 years of being on many staffs in the NFL," Jones said. "I looked at sitting around that dinner table with his daddy, Marty Schottenheimer, and I know what osmosis does. It doesn't fall far from the tree."
Jones also noted that the "ball of fire" that Schottenheimer will have as a new coach, along with his experience and buy-in from the Cowboys players made the hire an easy choice.
