Cowboys' Stephen Jones addresses Brian Schottenheimer's job status after team's 2-4 start

The Dallas Cowboys' 2-4 start to the 2026 season has reignited questions about head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s future, following another disappointing loss—this time to the Green Bay Packers. Under Schottenheimer, the Cowboys have managed just a 10-13 record since his 2025 hiring, despite playing in the NFL’s weakest division.

The team now trails the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East standings, even with the Eagles likely missing star quarterback Jalen Hurts for the remainder of the year.

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones reaffirmed confidence in Schottenheimer and the coaching staff on Monday, calling the team’s struggles ‘very disappointing’ but emphasizing their belief in the roster and staff. Jones acknowledged the offense’s struggles, including back-to-back games with under 20 points, while the defense showed signs of improvement.

The Cowboys’ next challenge comes in Week 5, where they’ll look to rebound against a tougher opponent.
