FRISCO, Texas -- There is a sign on the back of Brian Schottenheimer's desk that reads: "A good coach can change a game. A great coach can change a life."

Entering his first season as the Dallas Cowboys head coach, Schottenheimer is not just trying to live up to those words; he tries to lead the way his father, Marty, led four teams for 21 years as a head coach in the NFL.

Father's Day has always been special for Brian, not just because he has two children, but the bond he built with his father, who passed away in 2021 from Alzheimer's, unable to see one of his dreams come true when Marty was named the 10th coach in Cowboys history.
