"As head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Brian Schottenheimer can be pulled in many directions. Schottenheimer is also the offensive playcaller, which requires a lot of time in the meeting rooms with Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, et. al, but given the defensive issues of the team, he is spending a "significant amount" of time in defensive meeting with coordinator Matt Eberflus."
"Having been a coordinator and having had head coaches come and sit in my meetings, it's tough. You don't like it. You kind of take it a little, umm, myself personally, I took it personal," Schottenheimer said. "Like, 'Why are you in my meeting? Hey, Pete, get out of my meeting. I don't want you in my meeting, Pete.' 'Hey, Rex, why are you in my meeting? Get out.' Flus hasn't been like that at all. And he's been very open to some of the thoughts."
Brian Schottenheimer serves as head coach and offensive playcaller for the Dallas Cowboys while also spending significant time in defensive meetings with coordinator Matt Eberflus. The Cowboys' defense ranks 31st in points and yards allowed per game, prompting Schottenheimer to seek firsthand knowledge of defensive plans. Schottenheimer recalls resenting head coaches sitting in his coordinator meetings when he was an offensive coordinator, but he credits Eberflus for being open to his input. Schottenheimer says his attendance is meant to offer expertise and suggestions, not to interfere. Eberflus values the offensive coordinator's perspective and the additional insight Schottenheimer provides.
