FRISCO, Texas -- From Tom Landry to Brian Schottenheimer.
Schottenheimer was named the 10th coach of the Dallas Cowboys and the ninth in Jerry Jones' tenure as owner and general manager, joining Hall of Famers Landry, Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells among the team's head coaches.
Schottenheimer replaces Mike McCarthy, who was 49-35 in the regular season and 1-3 in the postseason in five seasons with the Cowboys.
McCarthy was hired to get the Cowboys over the proverbial hump, but Dallas now has the longest NFC Championship Game drought in the conference at 29 years with the Washington Commanders getting to the title game this season.
