The Dallas Cowboys are 3-5 after blowing a double-digit lead to the Arizona Cardinals, and Jerry Jones isn't ready to pull the plug on Brian Schottenheimer. Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay tear into the Cowboys' coaching staff, questionable late-game decisions, lack of accountability, and an organizational culture they believe has reached rock bottom. From Schottenheimer's conservative play-calling to Christian Parker's struggling defense, the guys wonder how much worse things can get before somebody is held responsible.

Meanwhile, Victor Wembanyama's appearance on 60 Minutes gives Spurs fans plenty to feel good about, especially his comments about San Antonio, personal growth, and learning from playoff adversity. The Spurs prepare for four games this week, the Texas Longhorns are dealing with a brutal injury situation, and Kirby Smart's comments about college football practice habits and NIL money spark a passionate debate. Plus, the NFL 2-Minute Drill covers Mike McCarthy, Lamar Jackson, the Broncos, and more. The show also celebrates a major milestone with Kalshi officially joining In the Building as presenting sponsor.
