Brian Schottenheimer Issues Request To All-Time Cowboys Greats

As Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer continues to build his team as best he can, he's come up with an idea involving some of America's Team's all-time greats.

In a recent interview, Schottenheimer said that he wants to see more of the Cowboys legends who helped the team win their five Super Bowl titles. He believes that the current players who have never been to a Super Bowl, let alone win one, could learn a lot about what it means to be a Cowboy by having their all-time greats show up with words of wisdom.

“I think the more those guys are around, the more we see their Super Bowl rings, which they wear very proudly, I think that’s great for our guys because that’s why we do it. We don’t hide from that,” Schottenheimer said, via ESPN's Todd Archer.

“There’s such great tradition and history here with the Cowboys, and you talk about not just the Super Bowl trophies, but some of the great players,” Schottenheimer said. “We wanted them to kind of see our energy and our juice, the way we like to operate. They paved the way for the guys that sit in those chairs today. I mean they’re part of our family. It’s like having an uncle or grandfather, in some cases, that you can use as a sounding board. You can use as a mentor. Are they going to be friends? Hell, I hope so. But if they’re not, there’s experiences that they can garner from the likes of Randy White, Bob Lilly, Michael Irvin, Dat Nguyen.”
