The Dallas Cowboys offseason finally has a direction. Their head coaching search came to an end on Friday night with the official hiring of Brian Schottenheimer, giving the offensive coordinator of the last two seasons his first ever promotion to the head coaching ranks of the NFL.
The next order of business is filling out Schottenheimer’s staff as quickly as possible, which will require much more than just hiring a new OC and DC. Assistant head coach and secondary coach Al Harris got away to the Chicago Bears to join Ben Johnson’s new staff as passing game coordinator, and now a former Bears coach is reportedly in consideration to return to the Cowboys as defensive coordinator.
