The current betting favorite to be the Cowboys’ next head coach is now ready to discuss the position with the franchise.
According to a report from NFL Media, Dallas offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is expected to interview with the club for the vacant position.
Schottenheimer, 51, has been with the Cowboys since 2022 — first as a coaching analyst and the last two seasons as offensive coordinator under Mike McCarthy.
The son of longtime NFL head coach Marty Schottenheimer, Brian Schottenheimer was the offensive coordinator for the Jets, Rams and Seahawks. He also served as a QB coach for Washington, the Chargers and the Colts.
While Dallas would value continuity from quarterback Dak Prescott, Schottenheimer becoming head coach would be a way to provide it.
Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who spent most of his coaching career with the Cowboys, is also considered a leading candidate to become Dallas’ next coach.
