Dallas Cowboys Promote Brian Schottenheimer To Head Coach

2 months ago

Per team owner Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys are hiring offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as their head coach. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. Schottenheimer took over as the Cowboys' offensive coordinator in 2023 after Kellen Moore left for the Los Angeles Chargers. The former found success in his first season, leading the Cowboys to a league-leading 30.1 points per game in 2023. However, his luck was not as fair in 2024 -- with injuries to star wideout CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) and quarterback Dak Prescott (hamstring) sapping much of the juice from Dallas' offense. Still, they finished with over 20 points per game and will be better off with the aforementioned players healthier in 2025. With Mike McCarthy out, we'll see who is calling plays for the Cowboys next season.
