Meet the Cowboys' Unexpected New Coach
Mon Jan 27 2025
Brian Schottenheimer, who has 28 years of coaching experience in both college and the NFL, is about to step into a new role as the Dallas Cowboys' 10th head coach. This hiring decision has caught many fans by surprise, as Schottenheimer has never held a head coaching job before. His father, Marty, was a well-known coach, and his comfort level with quarterback Dak Prescott seems to have played a significant part in his selection. This choice reminds some fans of the time when Dave Campo, who also had a similar coaching background, led the team. Unfortunately, Campo's tenure wasn't very successful.
One concern is that Schottenheimer hasn't called any plays in over two years, which raises questions about his abilities to strategize and make quick adjustments during games. Fans are cautiously optimistic but also worried about the team's upcoming season, especially considering the Jones family's track record. Some are even predicting a tough year, possibly ending with a 4-13 record.
