Good morning football. That's right. This is good morning football. Welcome inside, everybody. We are presented by Old Trapper Beef Jerky. Live in L.A. in New York. It's Tuesday, January 28th. Here is Akbar Bajababh. There is Peter Shager, Kyle Brandt. I'm Jamie Erdall. And here, back to our table, of course, for breakfast, Ron Rivera. What's up coach. Good morning. How's everybody doing?

We're great. Good, good, good, how are you?

I'm doing well.

We read your name a couple times this month.

You had some meetings with some teams.

You wanna tell us what you've been up to

since we've seen you last?

I interviewed with a few teams, you know,

looking at their head coaching positions

and didn't get the opportunity,

but I'll tell you, it was a tremendous experience. It was kind of neat to get an opportunity to talk to some of these owners and get to know a little bit more about what they're looking for and what they hope to do this coming season. I can say they're missing out on a great coach. Wow, I appreciate that. and just like the greatness on your t-shirt. How about that? What's going on with that? Well, you know, I'm wearing it in celebration of this coming Super Bowl because Andy Reid. When I was in Andy's staff, one of the things that always coach always used to talk about were the heavyweight fights, the heavyweight fights. And he would make that his theme of

the week. So for me, this is the theme of the week, because I really do think this is one of the really good heavyweight fights that we're going to get an opportunity to watch. I think this game is going to be coming down to blows that each team's going to throw at each other. And at the end, it's going to be the one that hits the most body shots that's going to win this football. Oh, man. Perfect coach. Awesome.

All right. We've got some topics. We've got to run through with you, all right? Let's begin in Dallas. It's a team that hopes to find themselves playing in a Super Bowl sometime in the near future. And with that, they have a new head coach. Yesterday, Cowboys owner, Jerry Jones, introduced the team's newest head coach, Brian Schottenheimer.

Schottenheimer served as the Cowboys offensive coordinator for the last two seasons,

and now he gets the tap for the head honcho job.

Both Jerry Jones and the new coach say the future is bright, or at least they hope so, for this team.

This is the best way that we can go to the playoffs and win.

I'm not doing this by myself.

I've got the incredible support of Jerry, Steve, and the Jones family.
