CBS Sports: Following Schottenheimer’s hiring, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott gives a shocking update about his future.
Dak Prescott feels at ease knowing that his future with the Dallas Cowboys is now closely linked to new head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Prescott was present when the Cowboys formally named Schottenheimer as their new head coach on Monday. Given that Schottenheimer has been the Cowboys’ offensive coordinator for the past two seasons and a consultant for the previous one, it felt fitting.
I only wanted to go help him. First, I’m proud of him for seizing this chance, and second, I know how he’ll approach it,” Prescott remarked. “I wanted to let him know that I would be here for him and with him.” Furthermore, what if he signs a four-year contract? My contract has four years left on it. Since he has a direct impact on my future, let’s make the most of these four years.
QB Dak Prescott of the Cowboys praises Prior to the season, Shotty Prescott became the highest-paid player in NFL history when he agreed to a four-year contract deal with the Cowboys worth $240 million. His performance and Schottenheimer’s coaching will have a significant impact on how the upcoming four years unfold.
I mean, Shotty is really important to me. He’s been a reliable man, and I believe that’s helped him land this position over his tenure. Therefore, someone who demonstrates character that aligns with their actions and is encouraging to me,” Prescott said. “I received a message or check-in regarding everything that has happened to me over the past three years, whether it has been on or off the field.”
Throughout his time in Dallas, Schottenheimer has not called plays. For Prescott and the Cowboys, however, “continuity” was crucial.
After Mike decided to depart, I had a straightforward chat with Jerry about continuity. Prescott stated, “They wanted to maintain continuity.” “I knew this was important to me, and I obviously had a lot of success with this group, with these men.” Additionally, Schotty has played a significant role in establishing and developing the game strategy.
According to Schottenheimer, Dak Prescott will help the Cowboys win championships.
Schottenheimer and Prescott appreciate each other. The Cowboys’ new head coach emphasized that he and his franchise quarterback had a strong foundation.
Schottenheimer remarked, “I have an amazing relationship with Dak.” In the same way that I have amazing relationships with each of these guys. Dak and I are skilled at making each other angry. We are skilled at having difficult talks.
