"It's in the first page of your obituary" - Nick Wright roasts Colin Cowherd over "backward visor" criticism of Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer

Nick Wright didn’t hold back while responding to Colin Cowherd’s criticism of Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer’s appearance during Monday's press conference.

Cowherd took issue with Schottenheimer wearing his visor backwards while speaking to the media at Cowboys training camp in Oxnard, California.

On "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" on Wednesday, Wright challenged the Fox Sports host’s longstanding stance on backwards caps, calling it a legacy-defining fixation.

"We all agree that there is a level. Your level just happens to be at the orientation of the cap or visor in this case," Wright said (Timestamp: 10:55).

"I also think if there were a Hall of Fame on 20-year sports topics, this is a first ballot entry. People now see people wearing backwards caps and they're like, 'Oh boy, we're going to get a four-minute masterclass from Cowherd today.' I mean, it's kind of your legacy. It might be a little sad, but it's in the first page of the obituary, tell you that much," he added.

On Monday's edition of "The Herd," Cowherd said Schottenheimer’s appearance was a bad look for Cowboys sponsor, the Bank of America.

"You know I don't like backwards hats. What's worse is a backward visor. That's a two-win team," Colin Cowherd said. "When you sit in front of a podium, you're representing the Cowboys; you're representing Bank of America; you're representing a $12 billion corporation. I think you got to do better as a head coach than a visor backwards."

Brian Schottenheimer, who was promoted to head coach in January, responded with levity during his press conference Tuesday.

As he entered the media room, he adjusted his visor forward and joked, “Oop, sorry Colin, let me turn my hat around,” before flipping it back again, drawing laughs from reporters.

Colin Cowherd acknowledged the moment later on X.

“Appreciate the professionalism,” he wrote.

Cowherd’s comments aren’t new. He has a history of scrutinizing how NFL players and coaches present themselves. Over the years, he has criticized quarterback Cam Newton for wearing scarves and flamboyant postgame outfits, Odell Beckham Jr. for sideline cleats and visors and Bill Belichick’s signature hoodie for being “too casual” in professional settings.

Meanwhile, Schottenheimer enters his first season as Dallas’ head coach after three years with the organization in various offensive roles. He has spent nearly two decades in the league with stints as offensive coordinator for the Jets, Rams and Seahawks, among others.
