The Dallas Cowboys are making Brian Schottenheimer their next head coach, which has left many fans surprised and disappointed.
The Cowboys interviewed four candidates for their head coach job: Schottenheimer, Kellen Moore, Leslie Frazier and Robert Saleh. Interviewing both Saleh and Frazier satisfied the Rooney Rule.
Schottenheimer has been the Cowboys’ offensive coordinator for the last two seasons, while Moore coached with the Cowboys from 2018-2022 and served as their OC for four seasons. Moore spent 2023 as the Chargers’ offensive coordinator and is currently the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive coordinator.
If you’re wondering why the Cowboys chose Schottenheimer over Moore, who is currently more successful, one reporter answered the question.
Longtime Cowboys reporter Ed Werder says Dallas feels Schottenheimer can be more demanding of accountability and leadership than Moore. Additionally, the Cowboys liked that there would be continuity for quarterback Dak Prescott by staying with Schottenheimer.
