The buzz surrounding Brian Schottenheimer has been growing, with Cowboys star quarterback Dak Prescott being the latest person to heap praise on the team's new head coach.

“I’ve felt it for years, honestly, and that’s part of why Schotty is the man that he is, the coach that he is. He can’t turn that off. He’s gonna bring the energy. He’s gonna bring the passion," Prescott said over the weekend. "He’s a coach’s son, so this game has given him so many opportunities, and he’s not gonna cheat it. And that’s [why] I’m excited, just for the way that he approaches the game, and the way that he’s gonna push everybody around him.”
