Jones, the executive vice president of player personnel and co-owner of the franchise, was asked by Yahoo!'s Jori Epstein why he had confidence in Schottenheimer despite the fact that he last called plays in 2020 and hasn't shown much in the way of scheming up a modern offense. Here's how he responded.

Speaking at the Senior Bowl, Cowboys’ Stephen Jones discussed the hiring of two coordinators on Brian Schottenheimer’s staff.

Here’s hoping Schotty is more successful than most of his predecessors in Jerry’s great experiment. We’ll see. Like the rest, he’ll need a lot of luck. He’ll also need to be a lot better than his GM. The good news is it’s a low bar. That’s also the bad news.
