    NFL Fans Roast Jerry Jones for Self-Obsessed Press Conference

    What was meant to be an opportunity for Schottenheimer to field questions became a Jones soliloquy when the Cowboys president took the microphone. Jones eventually got around to stating his reason for promoting Schottenheimer from his offensive coordinator role.

    “Now I get my proverbial a** kicked over needing people in my comfort zone. Without this thing being about me in any way, if you don’t think I can’t operate out of my comfort zone, you’re so wrong. It’s unbelievable. This is as big a risk as you can take. No head coaching experience!”

    “With all of that, you’ve just heard him reference his osmosis, his family. Anybody in this room that doesn’t believe the apple doesn’t go far from the tree has missed it someplace down the road. Especially if there was an effort to make it that way.”

    However, what wasn’t shown in the above video is how Jones beat around the bush with his answer for several minutes. According to viewers who tuned in and reporters at the conference, Jones went off on various tangents. RJ Ochoa of SB Nation posted about the situation.

    “Jerry Jones was asked why he hired Brian Schottenheimer and went on a rant about how he has basically never missed a Senior Bowl or NFL Combine and how he wanted to be a coach and a bunch of other stuff and went on for several minutes without ever actually talking about Brian,” Ochoa’s message reads.

    According to the Blogging The Boys X (formerly known as Twitter) account, SB Nation’s home for Dallas content, “Jerry Jones took the first question he was asked and grabbed the mic and has yet to let go.”

    Cowboys fans were understandably even more exasperated with this brusque behavior from the organization’s leader. One fan noted how his anecdote about a five-year-old car was “tone-deaf” for most Americans.

    Another fan noted that Jones’ decision to promote Schottenheimer was simply a cost-cutting measure. It looks suspiciously close to the real reason, especially in light of his now-infamous “all in” comments from the 2024 offseason.

    Most fans have little sympathy or rope to give Jones any benefit of the doubt after decades without success. While the Cowboys continue to maintain a high profile and rank among the league’s biggest fanbases, their star power could soon erode if the lack of playoff success continues for longer.
