Remembering Marty: Cowboys’ Brian Schottenheimer reflects on legacy of late dad on Father’s Day

Treasury, Texas – when people think about the word “legacy” in the context of sports, most partner it with championships and trophies.

Dallas Cowboys events are different than five Crater Trophaea are just past the front door of the “star” in the Fisco, Texas – in team headquarters. One can walk in a manufacturing without spotting them just to the right side of the entrance.

However, the new latest Brian Schothenheimer feels otherwise. In my mind, the legacy begins with the people and the impact of doing in others. His reason is because it is because of his late father Marty Schothotheimer. Marty was NFL Police 21 times with Cleveland Browns (1984-1988), Kansas city chiefs (1990-1998) Washington (2001) and San Diego Checks (2002-2006). The Elder Schotheimer has gone 200-126-1 in his 21 times, good at the eighth, mostly wins as a coach in NFL History. Of the seven people in front of Hall of Fame: Don Shula (328 wins), George Halls (318 wins), Tom Landry (250), Crispus (2026) and Paul (2013). Other two-former new England assets six-time Crater Champion Coach Bill Belichick (302) and Kansas city chiefs three-time Crater Champion coach andy Reid (273) will be immediately eligible.

Over the younger Schotheimer’s 25 years undergraduate in NFL In order to assistor, including 14 that is offensive coordinator, that’s experienced a number of people around the league up to the games to talk about Marty. These conversations are typically not about football, they are larger than the game and to hold and more special meaning to Schotheimer’s father’s Day.

“I am ready to start with people. To this day, I will go into the field at the game and I’ll have two or three different people to come to me and say: ‘Sorry my coach. Do you have? They know exactly where they’re going. I drop that I am doing what I want to listen to it, “Schotheimer said Thursday to Cowboys Minicamamp.” They say, ‘My father changed my soul. He’s former players. Never won a live. And won over 200 games on NFL: But I put a lieutenant with anyone that’s ever arrived at school. ”

Schotheimer ever dreamed of it as his father and becoming in NFL carriage, traveling to him about 30 years before Cowboys Mr. Jerry Jones gave him the first shot at the top job in 2025 with him about 51.

“I know this is proud. I miss him. I will tell him that I am all the life lessons that taught me, not only about football but about life,” Schotheimer said as water. “Be a good man, a good man, a good father. I think I am doing ok me, but I know what is in me. Talk in me and I know what is in me and I.” I have to get me to my day to me for me. I have to be on me to me for a day and I am to me and me. “I’m up to me to me to me, to me and me.

The first story Brian say March with fitting Cowboys coach would come from the introductory press an interview at the end of January. Schotheimer thought in the medium availability was held in a team’s press conversation room that hold around 50 people maximum. Instead, Dallas Set it in the court of their team facility and well over 100 people in the crowd ranging from the media, cowboys employees, family, friends and players. They see Dallas player in the ministers to bear him to put him to free time, that the father had been proud to hear.

“We’re obviously an emotional family and I was really nervous to press an interview. Great moment you waiting for your whole life,” Schotheimer said. … “Jerry and Stephen [Jones] walked on me and I saw my family. When I turned the corner, I saw players, all players there. That [Marty Schottenheimer] Know that all players shows what I do is right now. I’m doing a link. I am doing with love and energy. To actually mi. It really did. I was nervous and excited together. When I saw all players waiting for me right around the corner, I totally make me peace. I would be cold. “

Quarterback Dak Prescott was one of these, and three-time for Bowler stated that it’s at peace with the Schotheimer, saying their communication – in other things, has him “is excited as hell” for 2025 time. To hell “for the time that” excited as hell “for 2025 time.

“Communication with Schotty, with quarterbacks or quarterback location. Just a lot of good,” Prescott said Thursday. “A lot of really good things to me in a great place. I’m healthy, excited as hell. … no [he doesn’t seem like a first-year coach]I think when you’ve been a helper for 30 years, which is the case you seem to be so. He’s doing the hell’s job. “

To be paternity changed by Prescott

Prescott is new to the paternity unlike his coach, who has a son in college and daughter who is the head off to college. He also fiancée Sarah Jane had the first boy one daughter, Margaret Jane (MJ), in February last year, and have received another daughter, Aurora Rayne, in May 22, in May 22. Prescott was molded by the number of events in their life, including loss of his mother Peggy to colon cancer in 2013 and loss of brother, in one way to death in his life.

“1’m blessed. 1’m blessed to have the opportunity to raise two girls alongside my fiancée. To have a beautiful family, healthy family, for me it’s just about being granteful and not taking the moment for granted when 1’m with them,” Prescott said. “But 1’ve been through things in my life that 1 do not necessarily think that my momething new. 1 understand the love that my mom had for me, right, in a different way now that you have some of the adversity that 1’ve had you’re so thankful for everything you’re given, the good and the Bad and anything in between that fatherHood is no different now. It just makes me even more focused on the small moments. “
