Dallas Cowboys second-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer may already be in owner Jerry Jones’ bad books.
In a Tuesday interview with KRLD-FM in Dallas, Jones said there was “no explanation” for some of the coach’s clock management late in the fourth quarter of a 34-31 Week 3 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Rio de Janeiro. That ranged from questionable play-calling to telling quarterback Dak Prescott to throw the ball away on a potential go-ahead touchdown to kicking it deep, which set up Tyler Loop’s game-winning field goal.
In what may have been an attempt to get back in Jones’ good graces, Schottenheimer apologized for his gaffes during his Tuesday news conference.
Brian Schottenheimer apologizes for coaching blunders
“I didn’t do very good in the last 28 seconds,” the coach said (h/t Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team). “I felt like I overcoached Dak on third down. … I’ll take accountability for it. I hurt our chances to win that game. I’ll be better and I am better than that.”
