Forget about a new left tackle and some improved QB play ... Michael Irvin says Brian Schottenheimer's going to need some holy water and crucifixes to turn around the Cowboys -- telling TMZ Sports he's convinced the only way the new head coach succeeds in Dallas is through an act of God.

In the middle of a crowded Bourbon Street ... Irvin yelled at the top of his lungs that a higher power is going to be necessary in order to make the Schottenheimer move ultimately make sense for the Cowboys.
