Sad News for Dallas Cowboys: He Is Back
The Dallas Cowboys’ offseason took a grim turn today with news that many fans were hoping wouldn’t come: He is back.
No, it’s not a returning star player or beloved coach—it’s the one name that’s become a symbol of frustration in Cowboys Nation over the past few years. Whether you call him a jinx, a symbol of stagnation, or simply “bad luck in a headset,” he is back in the building. And the internet is already ablaze.
While the team hasn’t officially confirmed his expanded role, multiple reports out of Frisco indicate that offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is set to take on more influence in play-calling duties for the 2025 season. And for a fan base still reeling from last season’s abrupt playoff exit, this is not the news they wanted to hear.
A Familiar Frustration
Cowboys fans have long voiced concerns about conservative play-calling, lack of in-game adjustments, and underutilization of key talent—particularly during critical postseason matchups. Last year’s offensive strategy, often criticized for being overly predictable, was a frequent target of analysts and former players alike.
Schottenheimer, while respected around the league as a veteran football mind, has a history of offenses that rank middle-of-the-pack. His return to a more prominent role has many fans fearing a repeat of last year’s issues, especially with head coach Mike McCarthy already under pressure to deliver a deep playoff run.
Social Media Reaction: Not Happy
It didn’t take long for Cowboys Twitter (or what’s left of it on X) to light up.
“Just when I thought we were turning a corner… he’s back,” wrote one fan.
Another bluntly posted, “This team doesn’t want to win. It wants nostalgia and excuses.”
The Bigger Problem?
The bigger question now isn’t just about one coach. It’s about direction. The Cowboys boast one of the most talented rosters in the NFL—an elite defense, a capable quarterback in Dak Prescott, and game-changers at receiver and running back. But without an aggressive, modern offensive approach, many fear that window could slam shut sooner than later.
With McCarthy entering a make-or-break season, and Jerry Jones still chasing another Super Bowl ring, this move may come back to haunt the franchise sooner than expected.
He is back. And Cowboys fans are already bracing for impact.
