During the press conference for new Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer, owner Jerry Jones addressed criticisms regarding the hiring process, stating that the number of interviews does not dictate a decision's quality. He emphasized the thoroughness of their selection process and pushed back against the notion of settling for comfort over seeking diverse candidates. Jones asserted that hiring Schottenheimer, despite being a first-time head coach coming off a demotivating tenure in Seattle, posed significant risks. He affirmed that he has taken risks in player acquisitions too, challenging the perception of a lack of boldness in his management style.
It might be couched as a less than glamorous hire. What I would say to you is I got here taking shots. Good things have happened.
I read where we didn't have but four or five interviews. It's ridiculous to think you could make a decision to coach the Cowboys relative to how many interviews you had.
I’ve been getting my proverbial ass kicked over needing people in my comfort zone. If you don't think I can operate out of my comfort zone, you're so wrong.
This is as big a risk as you can take.
