Analyst Skip Bayless Posts Video Criticizing Coach Schottenheimer "It's Disgraceful That Cowboys Lost to Broncos - You Should Resign"

Analyst Skip Bayless blasts Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer after a 44-24 defeat by the Broncos. He accuses Schottenheimer of weak play-calling and says he should step down.

1. A Humiliating Loss for the Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys suffered a major defeat at the hands of the Denver Broncos by a score of 44-24, continuing a losing streak that now ties their longest ever vs. Denver.
From the outset, discipline was missing—an interception near the goal line, a false start that turned a first-and-goal at the 1 into third-and-goal at the 6. The problems were glaring. 

2. Skip Bayless’ Explosive Critique

On his YouTube show, Skip Bayless didn’t hold back:

“Schotty, you can’t be shtty… that’s who you are. This was shtty play-calling. Change the O to I and you got it.”
He accused Brian Schottenheimer of abandoning the strong, physical style the Cowboys were expected to play—calling it a “meat and potatoes” offense from the past—but instead of execution, they got poor calls and lackadaisical performance.

3. The Impact of the Team's Mistakes

Schottenheimer admitted post-game that the team failed to dominate the line of scrimmage and that red-zone failures hurt them badly.
The Broncos took advantage of a weakened Dallas defense (due to injuries) to rush for 157 yards and force four touchdowns from the Cowboys’ QB. Bayless remarked he has “never seen a worse defense than the one the Cowboys put on the field today.”

4. Why the Call to Resign?

Bayless contends that at this level, such a performance is unforgivable, especially for a coach with Schottenheimer’s pedigree. He asserted:

  • The play-calling was below standard.

  • Discipline and identity were missing.

  • Leadership should accept responsibility when execution fails repeatedly.
    In his view, the only way forward for Dallas is a fresh start at the offensive coordinator position.

  • 5. What Comes Next for the Cowboys?

    With a record now concerning and morale shaken, the Cowboys face a crucial home game against the Arizona Cardinals.
    For Schottenheimer, the upcoming weeks will be deeply scrutinised—can he reverse course and salvage the season? Or will Bayless’s call for resignation gain real traction?
