\u201cI make no qualms that that\u2019s the goal,” he said. “The Super Bowl next year is Feb. 14th, 2027. We plan on being there.\u201d<\/p>\n
But winning a Super Bowl isn’t just about winning one for himself. He wants to see the payoff for the hard work his coaches put in, and for the punishment his players go through.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to win it for the people under my leadership,\u201d Schotty said. \u201cI want to win it for Dak Prescott. I want to win it for CeeDee Lamb and Quinnen Williams, for your players that put in so much, you know, hard work and the sacrifice that goes into what we do.” <\/p>\n
“You know, from us as a coaching staff, it\u2019s the hours; it\u2019s the mental strain of game planning. But for the players, they put their bodies on the line.”<\/p>\n
Schottenheimer added that if he can accomplish the ultimate NFL goal, he plans on grabbing an extra ring for his late father, Marty Schottenheimer<\/a>, who was never able to reach the mountaintop during his many years as a head coach.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve said this from the very beginning: When we get our Super Bowl rings, I\u2019ll be getting an extra one for my dad,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n How Cowboys can win the Super Bowl Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker. | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect<\/p>\n It has been a long, long time since the Cowboys were in the Super Bowl<\/a>, but fans already know the deal so no need to rehash how many years have gone by.<\/p>\n If the Cowboys want to break that drought<\/a>, the offense needs to continue playing at a high level and the defense must drag itself out of the doldrums<\/a>.<\/p>\n We firmly believe the Cowboys can get back to the playoffs after a two-year absence simply by putting up an average showing<\/a> on the defensive side of the ball. <\/p>\n That said, it’ll likely take more for a Super Bowl. Since 2013, all but two winners of the Big Game have sported a top-10 defense in the regular season. <\/p>\n The two outliers were the 2021 Los Angeles Rams and 2022 Kansas City Chiefs, who ranked 15th and 16th, respectively, during their Super Bowl seasons.<\/p>\n Going from a historically awful defense to a top-10 unit is not easy, especially with so many new players and a first-time coordinator at the helm, and there’s a better chance than not that the Cowboys will fall short of that. <\/p>\n However, based on those Chiefs and Rams teams, there’s at least a chance an average defense will be sufficient enough to get the Cowboys back to a place they have not been for far too long.<\/p>\n![\"Dallas](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01kxjr3273hvfmfsh36h.jpg\" "\\"Dallas")
