Here’s hoping Schotty is more successful than most of his predecessors in Jerry’s great experiment. We’ll see. Like the rest, he’ll need a lot of luck. He’ll also need to be a lot better than his GM. The good news is it’s a low bar. That’s also the bad news.

Schottenheimer—a long-time NFL offensive coordinator—last called plays during his time with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2021. The 51-year-old has been the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets, Seattle Seahawks, and the University of Georgia over his nearly 30-year coaching career.

The Cowboys’ new HC gave fans cause for optimism in Monday’s press conference; the team’s top 2 bosses rambled and minimized real concerns.

Brian Schottenheimer says he's “ready” to be coach of the Dallas Cowboys after a long career as an NFL assistant.

Schottenheimer's skill set, energy and understanding of the Cowboys' current situation helped Jerry Jones make his decision.

The Dallas Cowboys extend Will McClay’s contract, securing his talent evaluation expertise as Brian Schottenheimer takes over as head coach.

Jerry Jones was insistent about his risk-taking track record, but he will need to add to it as soon as this offseason to help his new head coach.

After ending their search Friday night, the Dallas Cowboys officially introduced Schottenheimer as head coach in a news conference at 11 a.m. Monday at The Star in Frisco. Schottenheimer is the 10th head coach in franchise history, taking over the gig after Mike McCarthy’s departure.
