A closer look at Brian Schottenheimer’s offenses over the years

A closer look at Brian Schottenheimer’s offenses over the years

Brian Schottenheimer has a better history than you might think

The Dallas Cowboys caught the NFL world by surprise on Tuesday when they interviewed Brian Schottenheimer for their head coach vacancy, and it’s looking like they might be heading for an actual deal with a second interview coming up.

There is plenty of anti-Schottenheimer sentiment going around, and it’s not without merit. That said, Schottenheimer’s track record on offense is better than some remember. Let’s take an in-depth look at his time as an offensive coordinator.

Why the Cowboys shouldn’t hire Brian Schottenheimer as head coach

Why the Cowboys shouldn’t hire Brian Schottenheimer as head coach

Cowboys, please look elsewhere.

No one knows where the Dallas Cowboys will turn to in finding their next head coach right now. They’ve been rumors about Deion Sanders; they had an interview with Robert Saleh and a virtual interview with Kellen Moore. It’s also hard to rule out reopening talks with Mike McCarthy if they genuinely were unsure of what direction to go after their negotiations broke down a few weeks ago.

That would be shocking, yet uninspired. However, what would be equally uninspiring is hiring Brian Schottenheimer for the position of head coach. Fans understand that Jerry Jones’ way...

Dallas Cowboys to have second head coach interview with Brian Schottenheimer

The Cowboys are set to have a second interview with Brian Schottenheimer on Wednesday.

Around lunchtime on Tuesday, it was reported that the Cowboys are interviewing Brian Schottenheimer (on Tuesday as well) for the position for a second time. This is the first report of any candidate of the four interviewed so far to get a second interview.

The other three candidates to be interviewed to date are Kellen Moore, Robert Saleh and Leslie Frazier, but as noted there...

Jerry Jones failed to use his most powerful asset when finding the Cowboys next head coach

Jerry Jones failed to use his most powerful asset when finding the Cowboys next head coach

Jerry Jones loves to talk about how he would write a check of any size to help the Cowboys... but refuses to do so.

Before the NFL season kicked off in 2018, Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones made headlines with comments surrounding the money he would spend to win another Super Bowl.

“It would be embarrassing, it would be shocking if you knew the size of the check I would write if it guaranteed me a Super Bowl,” Jones told Shan and RJ on 105.3 The Fan. “It would be obscene. There is nothing I would...

For the 3rd straight year, the Dallas Cowboys are stuck at this position

For the third season in a row, the Dallas Cowboys are at a standstill about what they are going to do at a very important position.

As this team heads in the 2025 season, they have no head coach or offensive coordinator as of now. Not only that, they might be hoping to pull lightning out of a bottle again in terms of who is going to be the lead back for this football team.

Here We Go Again

After letting Ezekiel Elliott go before the 2023 season started, Tony Pollard was given all the duties and played well,...

Mel Kiper NFL mock draft: The Cowboys get a playmaker for offense

Mel Kiper NFL mock draft: The Cowboys get a playmaker for offense

The mock drafts are rolling in.

While the Dallas Cowboys brethren in the NFC East, the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, prep for an NFC Championship game, the Cowboys are stuck in purgatory. They still haven't landed on a new head coach and the search process has the faithful frustrated. Until a new coach happens, it feels like the real offseason for the team can’t really begin.

What has begun is the annual rite of the offseason - mock drafts. Yes, they are starting in earnest and we will be tracking some of them as the offseason progresses. One popular...

Cowboys’ Dak Prescott headlines list of quarterbacks with this unfortunate common circumstance

The Dallas Cowboys head coach search is in full swing, and every sports website out there is watching the situation unfold with a fine-toothed comb and a microscope. Cowboys fans like me are disgusted with the fact that the current leading candidate for the job is OC Brian Schottenheimer.

Cowboys’ Owner/GM Jerry Jones is notorious for paying his coaches well below market value, and hiring Schottenheimer, a first-time head coach, would allow him to pay a smaller amount, and fill the contract with incentives instead of guaranteed money. How can the owner of the most valuable sports franchise in the...

Donovan Wilson seems unlikely to continue his career with Cowboys

Donovan Wilson seems unlikely to continue his career with Cowboys

It is possible that Donovan Wilson has played his last snap for the Cowboys.

Donovan Wilson has had an unpredictable career in Dallas, rising from draft obscurity to a prominent starting role. But the safety’s future is in doubt as potential salary cap savings and a ready in-house replacement make it hard to see him getting a seventh season with the Cowboys.

Wilson is a hard-hitting, occasional play-making safety who’s been a full-time starter in Dallas over the last four-plus seasons. Taken near the end of the sixth round in the 2019 NFL Draft, Wilson moved up the depth chart...

This is the player, if available, Dallas should draft at 12

This is the player, if available, Dallas should draft at 12

Yesterday, Cody Warren wrote that the Dallas Cowboys should not draft a running back in the first round.

Don’t get me wrong. I like Cody.

He’s a good guy, a great writer, and a welcome addition to the staff here.

But on this issue, he’s all hat and no cattle.

Don’t worry, he’s still in better condition than Jerry Jones. The Cowboys’ owner has no hat, no cattle, and nothing but a field full of cow manure.

Cody’s piece asks the Cowboys to focus on the offensive and defensive lines in April’s draft.

In other words, wash, rinse, and repeat....
