Stephen A. Smith was on ‘First Take,’ criticizing Jerry Jones’ hiring of Brian Schottenehimer as Dallas Cowboys head coach.

Stephen A. Smith has embraced needling the Dallas Cowboys and their fans as a recurring bit and the franchise has provided him ample opportunity to do so in recent years. The face of ESPN pushed quite hard for the Cowboys to hire Deion Sanders but Jerry Jones instead opted to go the very boring route with Brian Schottenheimer.

Stephen A. Smith goes off on Jerry Jones for staying in his comfort zone by hiring Brian Schottenheimer as the new head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.

In order to move forward and see where your Cowboys might be headed years from now, we must first look back. The local team was actually just one of four to unveil a new coach Monday, but their announcement was the only one that came with an intermission.

As the Dallas Cowboys continue to build a staff around Brian Schottenheimer, it is becoming clear what they are looking for.
