The meaning behind Cowboys coach Schottenheimer's tattoos

FRISCO, Texas -- If there is a minute in his busy day as Dallas Cowboys head coach, Brian Schottenheimer will catch himself looking at his left arm and hand.

There he can see four of the five tattoos he has received since 2022. A fifth is on the other side of his left forearm.

At some point during the Cowboys' training camp in Oxnard, California, Schottenheimer will look at them as a reminder of his 'whys.'

The tattoos symbolize his Christianity, his family, how he approaches his newest job and, ultimately, what he wants his team to represent.
