The Dallas Cowboys requested an interview with Atlanta Falcons tight ends coach Kevin Koger regarding the team's vacant offensive coordinator

Koger landed in Atlanta before the 2024 season started, spending the year working under offensive coordinator Zac Robinson.

Schottenheimer began his coaching career back in 1997 when he landed an assistant position with the St. Louis Rams. Over the years, he has served on the coaching staff for teams such as the Washington Commanders, Los Angeles Chargers, New York Jets, Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars and several others.

Jones made the comfortable move that likely won't cost too much to replace Mike McCarthy as the Cowboys head coach

Dallas has promoted Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Scottenheimer to be the franchise's 10th head coach -- and the ninth under Jones' ownership that began in 1989 -- the team announced Friday night.

The Dallas Cowboys have decided on who will replace Mike McCarthy as head coach. Brian Schottenheimer will be the head coach of America’s Team.

DALLAS — The Dallas Cowboys have found their new head coach: Brian Schottenheimer, the team's offensive coordinator the last two seasons. Schottenheimer replaces Mike McCarthy, who split ways with Dallas after the injury-riddled Cowboys struggled to a 7-10 record in 2024.

The Cowboys promoted offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to head coach, and it is "Schotty's'' plan to serve as his own play-caller.

Schottenheimer was an assistant with the St. Louis Rams, Kansas City, Washington, the San Diego Chargers and Jacksonville along with three one-year stops in college. His 14 years as an offensive coordinator include six with the Jets, three with the Rams and Seahawks and two with the Cowboys.

New head coach Brian Schottenheimer and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones answered questions on Monday about the hire and the teams efforts moving forward.

Schottenheimer ran the Seattle offense from 2018 through 2020. During that time his pass rate over expected was -2%. It leaned towards the running game but not overwhelmingly. Year to year, Schottenheimer moved in the passing game’s direction, going from -11% to -2% and finally landing on +6% in 2020.
