DALLAS — Newly appointed Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer says his promotion is about more than just football. For him, it’s a family legacy. Speaking at a press conference, Schottenheimer became emotional as he reflected on his late father, Marty Schottenheimer, a legendary NFL coach.

The Dallas Cowboys introduced Brian Schottenheimer as the next head coach of the team and tenth in franchise history on Monday. With Dak Prescott and other key players in attendance, Schottenheimer addressed the media for the first time since the Cowboys announced his hiring last Friday.

Schottenheimer's skill set, energy and understanding of the Cowboys' current situation helped Jerry Jones make his decision.
