It’s total chaos in Jerry World right now. The Cowboys‘ offseason is giving full-on drama, and it’s not even about the X’s and O’s anymore. Forget the usual grind; this is turning into a whole reality show, and we’re just here for the wild ride. Things got spicy when the Cowboys promoted Brian Schottenheimer to head coach.

Instead of a rallying cry, though, it seems like everyone’s dipping. The biggest bombshell? Mike Zimmer, the defensive coordinator, straight-up bounced and might be calling it quits on his NFL coaching career. He kept it low-key, saying, “I have a lot of respect for Jerry and the Cowboys, but it’s time for me to step away.” Guess he’s done with the drama and stepping out while the clock’s still ticking.

Schottenheimer’s hire? Yeah, it’s not exactly getting a standing ovation. Some fans are cool with the move, but others are side-eyeing it hard. Dez Bryant didn’t mince words, either, dropping a major truth bomb: “I don’t think this hire will get the Cowboys where they need to be. Fans shouldn’t expect success from this.” That’s some cold reality from a former Cowboy, but low-key, he might be onto something. The vibe around this decision? Not exactly a game-changer.

Now, with Zimmer out and Schottenheimer’s hire stirring the pot, the Cowboys are scrambling to patch things up. The word on the street is they’re eyeing Matt Eberflus as their next defensive coordinator, hoping he can light a fire under this defense. One source even said, “Eberflus has been on the radar for a while now and could provide a much-needed spark to this defense.” If he’s got that fire, they’ll need him to bring it because this defense is starving for a comeback.

Bottom line? Jerry Jones is making moves, but are they next-level or just more chaos in the making? With coaches dropping like flies, fans questioning every decision, and a future that feels more uncertain than ever, Cowboy Nation is in for one heck of a ride. With even Ex-Cowboys player and Legend Michael Irvin in the mix, Oh boy. Something is coming for ya!

Concern or frustration with the Cowboys?

Michael Irvin is heated about the Cowboys’ decision to hire Brian Schottenheimer as head coach. He didn’t hold back, saying he felt something was coming when he first heard the news. Irvin doesn’t really know Schottenheimer, but he didn’t waste any time calling out what he sees as a missed opportunity. He was all-in on Deion Sanders as the guy for the job, saying he was “shocked” that Jerry didn’t see it, too. ‘Deion could’ve been the spark the team needed.’

Irvin’s main frustration comes from the fact that the Cowboys have been stuck for way too long. He pointed out that the Eagles and Commanders are out there killing it in the NFC Championship, while the Cowboys haven’t even sniffed that kind of success in 30 years. For him, this isn’t just another season gone by—it’s a whole generation of fans who’ve never seen a Cowboys championship. “A third of Cowboys Nation has never felt the glory of a championship,” he said, and that hits hard. That’s a long time to go without seeing anything close to a championship run.

It’s clear Irvin’s not vibing with the idea of bringing in someone from the inside, like Schottenheimer. He said, “It was time to bring somebody in here that could shake things up,” and that’s exactly what he felt the Cowboys missed out on. Instead of going for the bold move with someone like Sanders, they went with a safe pick. And Irvin’s just not here for it. He thinks the team needed new energy—not just someone familiar with the old routine.

Then, Irvin dropped a big one: the Cowboys are falling behind, and it’s not just about missing out on NFC Championships. He pointed to the Chiefs, who might win three in a row, and said that’s a serious problem for the Cowboys. In the 30 years since they’ve even been close to a title, other teams have risen up and dominated. Irvin’s worried the Cowboys are losing their identity as “America’s Team” in the process.

At the end of the day, Irvin’s message is loud and clear: the Cowboys need a real change. And he’s just not sure Schottenheimer’s the guy to bring it. Time’s ticking, and if the Cowboys don’t get their act together. They’re going to watch even more teams pass them by.
