Brian Schottenheimer draws rave review from Cowboys rookie

The Dallas Cowboys hired Brian Schottenheimer to replace Mike McCarthy during the 2025 NFL offseason.

The first-time coach is already drawing rave reviews from his players as he takes charge of ‘America’s Team.’

‘I love him,’ rookie running back Jaydon Blue told FanDuel TV’s Kay Adams when asked about working with Schottenheimer.

Blue, a fifth-round pick out of Texas, went on to explain the key to Schottenheimer’s leadership is the energy he has brought to the position.

‘That’s a big thing in that facility,’ Blue said. ‘They always have a lot of energy.’

That is part of Dallas’ major goal for the 2025 offseason. Schottenheimer has made a concerted effort to bring a high level of energy to the Cowboys as he looks to establish a team culture in his image.

‘We’ve spoken very openly about trying to create one of the greatest cultures in professional sports,’ Schottenheimer told reporters while outlining the team-building activities that were done in the early stages of OTAs, per the Dallas Morning News.

Thus far, it appears that plan is working for players like Blue, who have felt the impact of Schottenheimer’s ‘uplifting’ energy.

‘Somebody could be having a bad day, and he’ll come in [and] start screaming, excited,’ Blue told Adams. ‘I love coaches like that, because it helps me. I’m a big energetic guy when it comes to football, so a coach that I can relate to like that helps me be better.’

Time will tell if Schottenheimer’s approach helps to turn the Cowboys. Dallas is hoping to bounce back after a disappointing 2024 season during which it went 7-10 while navigating Dak Prescott’s season-ending hamstring injury.

At the very least, it appears Schottenheimer has made a believer out of Blue.

‘He’s a really great guy,’ Blue said. ‘I got a chance to sit down and talk to him and I’m ready to get a chance to work with him.’
