Brian Schottenheimer appears to hold favor among the players in the Dallas Cowboys' locker room, evidenced in DeMarvion Overshown's description of the newly appointed head coach.

Schottenheimer and the Cowboys have named Dave Borgonzi, Aaron Whitecotton and Andre Curtis to the staff, the team announced Wednesday. All three are defensive hires. And all three new additions were greatly influenced by new Cowboys defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus . Schottenheimer, though, had final say on the hires as head coach.
