On Monday morning, buzz grew around Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as he emerged as the frontrunner for the head coach position in Dallas, with DraftKings Sportsbook listing him as a -250 favorite. Despite not yet interviewing for the role, Schottenheimer has been a key in-house candidate since Mike McCarthy parted ways with the team last Monday after five seasons.
While the internal options haven’t generated much excitement, influential figures at The Star in Frisco are eager to maintain as much continuity as possible during the coaching transition.
This support, particularly on the offensive side, has elevated Schottenheimer’s candidacy heading into the second week of the search.
While Schottenheimer hasn’t yet interviewed (he might not need to) for the job, his name has been atop the list of in-house candidates since five-year head coach Mike McCarthy and the team parted ways last Monday.
While that in-house list doesn’t necessarily inspire optimism, there has been a desire from important voices at The Star in Frisco to keep continuity as much as possible through an impending coaching change.
That support has specifically resided on the offensive side of the ball, which has Schottenheimer’s name bubbling as we head into week two of the coaching search in Dallas.
