Cowboys hire Brian Schottenheimer as a chief coach: Jerry Jones promotes Dallas offensive coordinator

The owner and managing director of Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, as unpredictable as he can sometimes have a step to choose the familiarity with the team’s new coach rental.

Dallas promoted the offensive coordinator of Cowboys, Brian Scottenheimer, being the 10th trainer of the franchise – and the ninth under the property of Jones who started in 1989 – the team announced on Friday evening. The Schottenheimer contract will be four years, according to Dallas’s morning news.

“Brian Schottenheimer is known as a career assistant,” said Jones, via ESPN. “He’s no longer Brian. He is now known as the Cowboys head coach from Dallas.”

Jones strongly appreciates comfort, so Schottenheimer corresponds to these criteria after having been with the team since 2022. He worked as a consultant this season before becoming Dallas offensive coordinator in 2023 when Kellen Moore, who was used in the 2019 post -2022, took the same role for the Los Angeles loads this offseason.

Mike McCarthy, the team’s head coach for each of the last five seasons, has brought Schottenheimer as a consultant after a 2021 season during which he was the quarter coach and the game coordinator Go for the first Global Trevor Lawrence choice on Jacksonville Jacksonville Jaguars staff. The Jaguars were the worst NFL attack that year, with an average of 14.9 points per game. McCarthy began his career as a coach of the NFL with the Chiefs of Kansas City (1993-1998) working under the father of Schottenheimer, Marty, who was the head coach at the time.

It should be noted that Schottenheimer was not the offensive game player in Dallas in 2023 or 2024 while McCarthy resumed this responsibility when Moore left. (Calling games is something that McCarthy has made a career, especially as Green Bay Packers’ chief coach.) The Cowboys led the NFL in points per game (29.9) with the quarter-Arrière Dak Prescott leading the Touch of the NFL in the touchdown (36) and largely the recipient Ceedee Lamb leading the Ligue in receptions (135) in 2023. The Dallas offensive took a major step back in 2024 with Prescott which decreases For the season of week 9 with a tear of the hamstrings, but the non-drained ball carrier Rico Dowdle rushed so than more than more than more than 1,000 yards.

Schottenheimer ensures the continuity of Prescott, another Jones component are worth strongly. After hiring McCarthy as a team coach in 2020, Jones asked Moore to hold McCarthy’s incoming staff as an offensive coordinator. This arrangement worked for three years until McCarthy chose to return to the role of game player in 2023. Schottenheimer has 12 years of offensive-game experience as an offensive coordinator with the New York Jets (2006-2011 ), Rams (2012-2014) and Seattle Seahawks (2018-2020).
