When the Cowboys host the Seahawks on Thursday night, it will be a reunion of sorts for offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. While Schottenheimer doesn’t call the plays in Dallas, this is his first time back in the coordinator role since he was fired by the Seahawks after the 2020 season. Seattle had enjoyed success under his watch, and Russell Wilson was a fan of his, but there were deeper philosophical differences that caused the split.
Head coach Pete Carroll, looking for a better way to get the run game going, turned to Shane Waldron as his next offensive coordinator.
