Marty Schottenheimer was a head coach for 21 years. He never won a Super Bowl before retiring after the 2006 season. <\/p>\n
His son, second-year Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer, has a chance to get what his father never could.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s always something I\u2019ve always dreamed of, you know,\u201d Schottenheimer said recently on \u201cThe Twins Take Podcast.\u201d \u201cI want to win a Super Bowl. I don\u2019t want to win it for me.\u201d<\/p>\n
The elder Schottenheimer died in 2021.<\/p>\n
His teams went to the playoffs 13 times, but the only time he reached the conference championship game, in 1993, his Chiefs were blown out by the Bills for the AFC title.<\/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 Schottenheimer said.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys have not reached the NFC Championship Game since 1995, which was their last of five Super Bowls. Schottenheimer is the seventh coach since Barry Switzer, the team\u2019s coach from 1994-97.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to win it for the people under my leadership,\u201d Schotenheimer 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. 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
\u201cI make no qualms that that\u2019s the goal. The Super Bowl next year is Feb. 14th, 2027. We plan on being there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marty Schottenheimer was a head coach for 21 years.
