Brian Schottenheimer's job status has become a hot-button topic amid the Dallas Cowboys' slow start to the 2026 season. After Sunday's uninspiring loss to historical rival Green Bay Packers, the Cowboys sit at 2-4. Dallas now holds a record of 10-13 since Schottenheimer took over as coach ahead of the 2025 season, trailing behind the Giants and Eagles in the NFC East standings.

On Monday, Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones addressed his confidence in Schottenheimer, stating that he and owner/GM Jerry Jones "absolutely" believe in him and the coaching staff. "There's not any question in Jerry and my mind," Jones remarked on 105.3 The Fan, via The Athletic. He emphasized the need for the team to evolve and win games despite acknowledging the disappointing start to the season.

The Cowboys' offense struggled significantly against the Packers, marking one of their lowest performances of the season with just 13 points, 303 total yards, and a mere 48 yards rushing. Quarterback Dak Prescott expressed frustration over the team's inability to execute, noting, "It's just frustrating to not get going."

In contrast, the Packers' receiving duo of Christian Watson and Matthew Golden outperformed the Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, combining for 164 yards and a touchdown. The Cowboys' body language indicated a lack of belief in their ability to win.

Despite the current struggles, Jones pointed out that it's too early to give up on the season, especially with upcoming games against teams also at 2-4. However, if the Cowboys' performance doesn't improve, changes regarding Schottenheimer's status may be inevitable.
