FRISCO, TEXAS — The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly closing in on promoting Brian Schottenheimer, their offensive coordinator, as head coach. Schottenheimer, 51, has extensive NFL coaching experience, but this would be his first head coaching job. He joined the Cowboys in 2023 under Mike McCarthy, who was let go earlier this month.
The move comes after the Cowboys explored other candidates, including former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, but Schottenheimer has emerged as the frontrunner. Despite his lack of head coaching experience, his familiarity with the team may be a key factor in the decision. An official announcement is expected soon.
