Brian Schottenheimer, recently appointed as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, immerses himself in his new role, tackling the challenges of building a coaching staff and preparing for the draft. Despite not yet meeting his players on the field, he finds value in personal connections, prioritizing conversations about life over football for the time being. He acknowledges that a common mistake in coaching is rushing into football strategy instead of fostering strong relationships with players first, reflecting on past experiences to guide his approach.
"Half of my day is spent reaching out to our players and trying to talk to them on the phone and just check in about life. And I don't want to talk to these guys right now about football."
"The biggest mistake people make -- and I'm guilty of it, looking back -- is you think, 'I got to get all the football in.'"
