SAN FRANCISCO – Since their Super Bowl victories in the 1990s, the Dallas Cowboys have been the practical definition of mediocre.
The team has yet to reach an NFC championship game since winning the 1996 Super Bowl three decades ago, but that team’s top receiver, Michael Irvin, sees the vision.
Irvin told News Digital at Radio Row in San Francisco that he recently had dinner with future second-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer and that he “loves it.”[s] the direction the coach is going.”

“I love what he’s done with the offense, because we found the offense. Now, we just have to gel and make sure he becomes more consistent. And be able to put up 30, 35 points a game,” Irvin said of the star-studded group that includes Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Javonte Williams.
The defense was the clear weakness throughout this season, but Irvin doesn’t want anyone to sleep on them.
“Now, with Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark in the middle, we have a force in the middle of the field. We have to solidify that defense,” Irvin said.
Then came a bold prediction.

“The Cowboys could be in this game next year. We could be sitting here talking about the Cowboys in this game next year, and I want you to find me and make sure you tell me, ‘You said this. You said, Michael, you said they could be here.’
“They’ll be here. I want you to find me.”
Cowboys fans who dare to travel with Irvin can do so at Hard Rock Bet, which has had a long-standing relationship with the Hall of Famer.
“It’s my home, it’s Florida. I’m from Florida. You look back. I’ve had a great friendship and alignment with them for so long. I did my Hall of Fame party at the Hard Rock and of course Miami plays at the Hard Rock so I’m always there with them. It’s a natural partnership,” Irvin said.
