The Dallas Cowboys say offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has agreed on a deal to become the storied franchise’s next coach.

After the Dallas Cowboys didn’t reach an agreement to retain coach Mike McCarthy, owner Jerry Jones chose a successor from within and promoted offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to head coach, in a move that would have been seen as stunning as recently as a few days ago.

Schottenheimer joined the Cowboys as a consultant in 2022 and moved into the offensive coordinator role when McCarthy took over play-calling duties a year later.

I’d love to be a head coach," Schottenheimer told Yahoo Sports two summers ago. Now he gets his chance. What will it look like in Dallas?

Schottenheimer becomes the 10th head coach in franchise history as the Cowboys look to the post-Mike McCarthy era.

Jerry Jones' search to replace Mike McCarthy didn't take him far. The Cowboys are hiring Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach.

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 Dallas Cowboys have reached an agreement with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to make him their next head coach, according to multiple reports.

Schottenheimer’s hiring after a quick, short interview process continues what’s been a questionable string of decisions by owner/president/general manager Jerry Jones.

Brian Schottenheimer has not been a head coach at any level, but Dallas' offensive coordinator agreed to terms on Friday to replace Mike McCarthy and become the 10th head coach in Cowboys history.

A familiar face, Schottenheimer steps into the role after orchestrating the Cowboys' offense as the offensive coordinator for the past two seasons, despite not calling plays. He succeeds Mike McCarthy, whose tenure ended following the team's disappointing 7-10 finish in 2024.
