Out of all of the new staff hires for the Dallas Cowboys in the Brian Schottenheimer era, there is one that should inspire confidence the most when it comes to trusting what the first-time head coach is looking for. Serving as a non-play-calling offensive coordinator for two seasons before being promoted to head coach, Schottenheimer had this very same role to fill (since he will call plays himself) on his inaugural staff. The Cowboys new offensive coordinator is former Arizona Cardinals offensive line coach Klayton Adams.
The Cowboys have also kept continuity at tight end with coach Lunda Wells, something of a fan-favorite to at least be considered for the OC role himself if that promotion could guarantee he remained in Dallas.
