Many would call the Cowboys’ hiring of Brian Schottenheimer on Friday night as the next head coach a decision founded in comfort and safety. While that’s true from a football operations standpoint, it’s also perhaps the riskiest decision Jones could have made. That risk isn’t tied to wins and losses, but something Jones cares about even more.

Deion Sanders to the Dallas Cowboys has been the talk of the town since reports emerged on Monday on both parties being "mutually interested." The notion that Jerry Jones and Sanders could work together is obviously enticing for the NFL world.

The Cowboys parted ways with coach Mike McCarthy after a rough season. The next candidate better be ready for what it's really like to work for Jerry Jones.
