Brian Schottenheimer

Cowboys hired offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach.

Schottenheimer held the Cowboys’ offensive coordinator position from 2023-2024, evidently earning Jerry Jones’ trust along the way. Schottenheimer was initially hired in former head coach Mike McCarthy’s third season at helm as a coaching analyst in 2022. Though Jones was unhappy with the Cowboys’ recent results, Schottenheimer somehow managed to escape Jones’ ire. Jones punctuated the hiring by saying “Brian Schottenheimer is known as a career assistant. He ain’t Brian no more. He is now known as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys.”
