Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer brings up 'history' to rebuild "America's team"

At the time of the signing, many Dallas Cowboys fans were unsure about new coach Brian Schottenheimer. And while the new boss has not had any success on the football field, he appears to have created a fun and interesting dynamic so far this offseason for current and former players.

As was reported by ESPN NFL analyst Todd Archer in an article on Thursday, Schottenheimer organized "Legends Day," where former players of the club came and mentored some of the current players in the building.

The event happened on May 30 ,and Schottenheimer made clear that the moment was amazing as it honored both the great history of the Cowboys franchise, yet also motivated the current players to achieve success in the future.

"There's such great tradition and history here with the Cowboys, and you talk about not just the Super Bowl trophies, but some of the great players," Schottenheimer said. "We wanted them to kind of see our energy and our juice, the way we like to operate. They paved the way for the guys that sit in those chairs today. I mean they're part of our family.

"It's like having an uncle or grandfather, in some cases, that you can use as a sounding board. You can use as a mentor."

Which Dallas Cowboys legends were in attendance for 'Legends Day'?

According to the Dallas Cowboys' official website, the "Legends Day" was headlined by legendary NFL players Michael Irvin, Drew Pearson and Randy White.

Although meeting and discussing football with former players does not guarantee success on the football field, it does highlight a shift in mindset and team morale since the arrival of Schottenheimer this offseason.

By all accounts, this offseason through OTAs and mandatory minicamp, the players and coaches have been enjoying themselves and working hard in preparation for the new campaign.

QB Dak Prescott looks healthy, the club has a new top wide receiver in George Pickens to play opposite CeeDee Lamb, and the defensive unit is working with new DC Matt Eberflus to drastically improve in 2025.

Although it is only July and the season is still a long way away, Dallas appears to have some positive morale heading into the new campaign.
