With the revered Cowboys brand stuck in a unglamorous The position, their decision on the next head coach seemed vital.
Schotty has been with the Cowboys since 2022, starting as a coaching analyst before moving to Cowboys OC in 2023. He took over the position following the departure of Kellen Moore, who was also a candidate for Dallas’ HC role.

Team owner Jerry Jones is leading the charge and apparently wants another internal candidate who can cede control to Jones. Without any real head coaching experience, Schottenheimer seemed like the safe choice for Jerry Jones. Jerry Jones’ decision-making on the Cowboys’ decision-making remains as strong as ever.

Still, Cowboys fans blew a fuse when the news broke regarding Schottenheimer.
Maybe former coach Marty Schottenheimer’s son has some tricks; The rest of us are simply not aware of this vision.
