Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer staff tracker: Rumors, reports, notes, information

We are tracking everything you need to know about head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s staff with the Dallas Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys officially hired Brian Schottenheimer to be the 10th head coach in franchise history on Friday night.

Monday morning will be the press conference to introduce Schottenheimer to the world, but many Cowboys fans have been preparing for this reality for the past week now. Schotty has been the team’s offensive coordinator for the last two seasons and on the staff for the last three in general, but running a team is a very different thing.

Time will tell who joins his staff and whether or not the group includes the likes of Jason Witten, DeMarco Murray and/or Tashard Choice as rumors have suggested. Whoever ultimately outfits the staff, we will be tracking it all with updates in this post.

A reminder that the most recent updates will be placed at the very top.
