For the third time, Jerry Jones looked down the hall to find his head coach. And if hiring Brian Schottenheimer on Friday night to be the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys doesn’t make you sick, wait ‘til you read what Jerry said.

After the Cowboys parted ways with former head coach Mike McCarthy, Sanders was a name that was linked to the role, but he was never formally interviewed. Schottenheimer, who along with Robert Saleh and Kellen Moore, was the only other name on the short list of candidates and he was offered an interview.
