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

The Hunt family watched Schottenheimer, now 51, grow up. Brian led Overland Park High School to the Kansas Class 5A state title in ’91 and wound up as the backup quarterback to Danny Wuerffel on the University of Florida team that won a national championship.

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.
