The beginning of the presser also resulted in quite the awkward moment. Schottenheimer was officially introduced by Cowboys PR and was greeted with a solid round of applause from the assembled media.

His introduction was met with a deafening silence, the kind that seems to last forever even though it was only a few moments.
