Brian Schottenheimer is reportedly getting a 4-year deal to coach the Cowboys.
Word broke on Friday night that the Dallas Cowboys were hiring Brian Schottenheimer to be their next head coach. This was the result many people had been expecting for a week now.
Much has been reported about what Schottenheimer’s staff could look like and time will ultimately tell on that case. Something of extreme fascination though was always going to be how long the deal that Schottenheimer (or whoever got the job) was going to get, given how the Cowboys have led the last three head coach contracts all expire (Mike McCarthy and Jason Garrett twice).
It is reportedly a four-year deal.
There has also been a ton of speculation that the Cowboys have a fixation with Jason Witten serving as a future head coach of the team. Perhaps they feel like four years is a proper amount of time for that process to fully unfold, aka Project 82.
If the Cowboys do not let Schottenheimer finish his deal out, then they would be firing a head coach before their contract reaches its end for the first time since Wade Phillips and at present time that was 15 years ago.
