After a deliberate process that led to the decision to move on from former head coach Mike McCarthy, the Cowboys went through a pointed head coaching search that included ex and current Dallas disciples like Kellen Moore and the eventual choice: offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer will be calling the offensive plays, just as his predecessor Mike McCarthy did.

The hiring of offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to the position of head coach has been the cause of great angst in Dallas, as fans lamented

Cowboys QBs coach Scott Tolzien is expected to move on from Dallas, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Tolzien, whose contract has expired, is a talented QB whisperer. He coached Dak Prescott during his MVP runner-up season.

With Brian Schottenheimer’s four-year contract aligned with Dak Prescott’s deal, the Dallas Cowboys’ success now hinges on the coach-quarterback duo

There are a number of strategic plans that can be devised and executed in the NFL Draft. A year ago, the Rams had the idea to pair Florida State defensive linemen Jared Verse and Braden Fiske to compensate for the singular loss felt from Aaron Donald's retirement.

Then there's the other wrinkle: Deion is thought to be a package deal if he takes an NFL job. His son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, is projected to be among the top picks in the upcoming draft, and it's hard to see a scenario where dad coaches one NFL team, and son plays for another.

Luckily for Dallas, Dak Prescott has fostered a strong partnership with Schottenheimer since the latter's arrival in 2022, and their collaborative relationship is one area the organization is leaning on in the Cowboys' pursuit of a championship.

Dallas has named Brian Schottenheimer as the new head coach, but fans will have to wait for his introductory press conference on Monday to learn whether he will call plays. Whoever calls them, will have to knock it out of the park to maximize Dak Prescott’s skillset as his career has ebbed and flowed over his nine seasons.

Where does the Commanders' Jayden Daniels rank among the best rookie QBs in NFL history? The answer might surprise after his two playoff victories.
