The Cowboys chose Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach.
The Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach. It is Brian Schottenheimer.
Schottenheimer is an NFL legacy as the son of the late Marty Schottenheimer, so he has been around the game for a long time. He has been in and around the NFL for over 20 years and has served as the offensive coordinator for several teams, including the Cowboys over the last two years, but this is his first opportunity to be a head coach.
While Schottenheimer did serve as OC for the last two seasons he did not call plays, head coach Mike McCarthy did.
