Cowboys coach’s tattoos are going viral - is this the new NFL?
Brian Schottenheimer might be the most tatted-up head coach in Cowboys history, and honestly, it’s pretty refreshing to see. The new Dallas coach has five meaningful tattoos on his left arm.
What makes this story so cool is how it all started. His 17-year-old son Sutton wanted a tattoo, so instead of just saying no like most dads, Schottenheimer decided they’d get inked together as a bonding experience. They drove 90 minutes to Kentucky because Tennessee’s laws were too strict, had to hunt down cash for the tattoo parlor, and both got “Jireh” (meaning “the Lord will provide” in Hebrew) as their first pieces.
Now Schottenheimer has “faith family football” in cursive, his family’s birthdates in a license plate design, “grit” on his hand, and three nails representing his Christian faith. Each one tells part of his story as a coach who’s grinded through nine different NFL teams to finally get his shot as a head coach. We’ve gone from coaches in suits and ties to guys like Schottenheimer who aren’t afraid to show their personal side.
Is this the future of NFL coaching - more authentic, relatable leaders who connect with players on a human level?
