Cowboys Coach's Backward Visor Sparks Controversy
5 Aug
Summary
- Colin Cowherd criticizes Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer for wearing a backward visor
- Cowherd says backward visors are unacceptable for coaches representing a major organization
- Schottenheimer is entering his first season as Cowboys head coach
On August 5, 2025, sports commentator Colin Cowherd expressed his disapproval of Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer's choice to wear a backward visor during a recent press conference. Cowherd argued that coaches representing a major organization like the Cowboys should maintain a professional appearance, and that a backward visor is unacceptable.
"When you sit in front of a podium, you're representing the Cowboys; you're representing Bank of America; you're representing a $12 billion corporation. I think you got to do better as a head coach than a visor backwards," Cowherd said on his show "The Herd."
Schottenheimer is set to begin his first season as the Cowboys' head coach after serving as their offensive coordinator for the past two seasons. Cowherd has previously criticized other coaches, such as Los Angeles Lakers' JJ Redick and San Francisco 49ers' Brock Purdy, for similar fashion choices, stating that standards should not be lowered.
As the Cowboys prepare to face the Los Angeles Rams in their first preseason game on August 10, 2025, the question remains whether Schottenheimer will continue to wear the backward visor, potentially drawing further criticism from Cowherd.
