Brian Schottenheimer will be taking over as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys after serving as the team's offensive coordinator for the past two seasons. Schottenheimer replaces Mike McCarthy, who led the Cowboys to a 7-10 record in the 2022-23 season.
NBC Dallas-Fort Worth has learned that offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer , 51, will be the Cowboys' next head coach . Schottenheimer is taking over a club that finished 7-10 last season under Mike McCarthy. Schottenheimer, the son of the late NFL coach Marty Schottenheimer, joined the Dallas staff as a consultant in 2022 and held the offensive coordinator title the past two seasons while McCarthy was the play-caller.
McCarthy took over those duties in 2023 when the Cowboys and former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore mutually parted ways. A person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press that Schottenheimer interviewed for the head coaching job. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because no planned interviews were being announced. The first three formal interviews were with external candidates: Moore, who was Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott's play-caller for four seasons and is now with the Chargers, ; Philadelphia defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon and Seattle defensive coordinator Sean Desai. The younger Schottenheimer cultivated a strong relationship with Prescott the past two seasons and will be a familiar face for a franchise QB going into the first year of a $240 million, four-year contract. It's the first NFL contract to average $60 million per season. Prescott had one of the best seasons of his career in his first year with the McCarthy-Schottenheimer combination, but the offense slumped early this season, even before Prescott's season-ending hamstring injury. Dallas finished 7-10 to end a three-year run of 12-5 teams that qualified for the playoffs
