Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones dropped some bombshell news late on Friday night. After running a questionable search, he hired Brian Schottenheimer as the team's new head coach. The Cowboys didn't exactly have a ton of prominent candidates on their radar.

But not this time. No, Jerry Jones wanted to sneak the announcement of Brian Schottenheimer being named the franchise’s 10th head coach under the radar, leaking the word just before 9:45 pm eastern on a Friday night.
