Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys Have Made Their Decision
After weeks of uncertainty, the Dallas Cowboys have finally named their new head coach: Brian Schottenheimer, the team’s former offensive coordinator. The move comes as a surprise to many, as Schottenheimer has never been a head coach in the NFL before and has not been seriously considered for the role since 2010.
A Unique Coaching Search
The Cowboys’ coaching search was anything but ordinary. After firing Mike McCarthy, the team seemed to take their time in finding his replacement. They missed out on interviewing several coveted candidates like Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn due to scheduling conflicts.
The Search Narrows
Eventually, the Cowboys narrowed their focus to three candidates: former Jets head coach Robert Saleh, former Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier, and Kellen Moore, the Cowboys’ former offensive coordinator. However, none of these interviews seemed to impress the Joneses.
Schottenheimer Emerges as the Frontrunner
Out of nowhere, Brian Schottenheimer emerged as the leading candidate. Despite his lack of head coaching experience, Schottenheimer’s familiarity with the Cowboys’ system and his relationship with Dak Prescott made him an attractive choice.
Questions Linger
While the Cowboys are confident in their decision, many questions remain. Schottenheimer has never been a head coach before, and the Cowboys’ recent coaching hires have not been particularly successful. Only time will tell if Schottenheimer can turn things around in Dallas.
The Future of the Cowboys
The Cowboys are hoping that Schottenheimer can be the solution to their decades-long problems. They have assembled a veteran staff around him, including former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus as defensive coordinator. The Cowboys believe that Schottenheimer has the experience and the support to succeed.
Trusting the Joneses
However, the Cowboys’ decision-making process has been called into question. The Jones family has made several questionable coaching hires in the past, and they have not had much success in the playoffs since their last Super Bowl victory in 1996.
Conclusion
The Dallas Cowboys have made a bold choice in hiring Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach. Only time will tell if Schottenheimer can lead the Cowboys to success, but the move has certainly raised some eyebrows.
