FRISCO, TX – The Dallas Cowboys announced on Saturday morning that they have hired Brian Schottenheimer as their new offensive coordinator replacing Kellen Moore, who was the offensive coordinator for the Cowboys since 2019. Schottenheimer was on the Cowboys staff this past year as a consultant.
In 2021, Schottenheimer was the Jaguars passing game coordinator. He has been the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks, LA Rams, and New York Jets. He has tallied 22 years in the NFL and 12 of them being an Offensive Coordinator most recently with the Seattle Seahawks from 2018-2020. He helped lead the Seahawks to three postseason appearances.
Head Coach Mike McCarthy said on Saturday, “I am very happy to have Brian take on this key role with our team. He has been an important part of our staff already and has a great grasp of where we are and where we want to go,” said McCarthy. “Brian also has an exceptionally strong foundation, history and relationships beyond his time here that translate very well into understanding what our approach to operating and executing will be for the future. This will be an exciting and efficient transition for us that I am confident will help yield the growth and results we all want and expect.”
Schottenheimer stated after the announcement, “I am thrilled and thankful for this exciting opportunity and embrace the high standards and expectations that come with this role and the Dallas Cowboys organization. Having long-standing, great respect and appreciation for Mike McCarthy as a person, a leader and a head coach makes this a very rewarding and compelling moment for me,” said Schottenheimer. “The ability to win with great teammates that share the same goals, and alignment with how to reach them, makes this special for me and I am very grateful for it.”
Schottenheimer will be the offensive coordinator but Mike McCarthy will be calling the plays.
