The Dallas Cowboys have announced the promotion of Brian Schottenheimer to head coach, making him the 10th coach in the franchise's history. Schottenheimer, 51, who previously served as the team's offensive coordinator, expressed his excitement at fulfilling a lifelong dream during his introductory news conference.
Schottenheimer, the son of the late coach Marty Schottenheimer, had harbored ambitions of becoming the youngest head coach in the NFL since his college days. While his path to head coaching took longer than expected, he now feels prepared for the role after years of experience as an assistant coach.
