Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer was called out by one analyst over how he wore his sunvisor during a practice game with the team, and he had the perfect way to acknowledge it and clap back at the same time.

In a recent video, analyst Colin Cowherd called out Brian Schottenheimer for how he wore his hat during a practice event, which he described as something unbecoming of a head coach.

“You know I don’t like backwards hats,” Cowherd said on his show. “What’s worse is a backward visor. That’s a two-win team. I’m taking away four wins.

“When you sit in front of a podium, you’re representing the Cowboys; you’re representing the Bank of America; you’re representing a $12 billion corporation. I think you’ve got to do better as a head coach than a visor backwards,” he added.

Schottenheimer apparently caught Cowherd’s comments within his radar, and gave a subtle jab towards the analyst who poked fun at how he wore his hat. As he took the podium during the Cowboys and Ras joint practice, he made it known that he may be a fan of Cowherd and his commentary.

“Sorry, Cowherd,” he said. “Let me turn my hat around.” He did turn it around, but turned it back again to backward after having a moment of laughter.

The analyst, in the same fashion, apparently watched the monet and responded to it. On social media, Cowherd acknowledged the gesture from the head coach.

“Appreciate the professionalism,” He wrote on his post.

Brian Schottenheimer Shared Joe Milton Injury Update

The Dallas Cowboys had to pause quarterback Joe Milton’s participation in Tuesday’s practice after the second-year signal-caller left the field early, nursing what appeared to be a thumb injury sustained while throwing. Milton did not return to the session, briefly raising concerns about his availability as Dallas continues to sort out its quarterback hierarchy during training camp. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer shared fresh details and updated on his status.

Schottenheimer later described Milton’s exit as purely precautionary, noting that the quarterback simply caught his hand on a teammate’s helmet. Schottenheimer emphasized that the staff “feels really good about it,” and that Milton himself believed he could have rejoined the drill if needed.

Milton enters the summer competing directly with Will Grier for the Cowboys’ backup quarterback spot, and his physical tools have drawn attention despite some consistency questions in his accuracy. In limited action during his rookie season, Milton completed 22 of 29 passes for 241 yards and one touchdown—while also rushing 10 times for 16 yards and another score—without throwing an interception.

Brian Schottenheimer was named the 10th head coach of the Dallas Cowboys on January 24, 2025. As of early August 2025, he’s been at the helm for just over seven months.
