Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones pushed back hard on the notion that his decision to promote offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to be his next head coach was one made out of comfort.

Jones: 'He's had 25 years being around the kinds of things that he's gonna have to draw on to be a coach of the Dallas Cowboys."

Jerry Jones called the decision "as big a risk as you could take" but believes hiring Brian Schottenheimer gives the team the best chance to succeed.
