Brian Schottenheimer spent time with the media Tuesday and the Dallas Cowboys head coach dove into several topics.

Schottenheimer discussed his coaching style, gave some injury updates, and answered questions about Micah Parsons and his contract situation.

He even gave his opinion on the 30-year Super Bowl drought his team is dealing with. In typical Schotty fashion, he had a well-thought-out answer.

Schottenheimer’s approach to the job has been nothing short of refreshing. Time will tell if he winds up ending the drought, but at least we know that’s his No. 1 focus.
