The Dallas Cowboys officially promoted Brian Schottenheimer from offensive coordinator to become the 10th head coach of the historic franchise on Friday night. After the Cowboys were unable to come to an agreement on a contract extension with Mike McCarthy following the 2024 season and parted ways, they found themselves in a search for a new head coach.
This is Schottenheimer's first time serving as an NFL head coach. He has previously worked as an offensive coordinator for the New York Jets, Rams, Seattle Seahawks and most recently with the Cowboys for two seasons before landing the head-coaching job. The Cowboys' offense saw success under Schottenheimer when they were healthy in 2023, ranking top-five in total yards per game.
