The Cowboys are set to have a second interview with Brian Schottenheimer on Wednesday.
The Dallas Cowboys are taking things to a more serious level with one of their head coach candidates in Brian Schottenheimer. 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 #Cowboys are planning to have a second interview with their own OC Brian Schottenheimer today, per me, @TomPelissero and @SlaterNFL.

The other three candidates to be interviewed to date are Kellen Moore, Robert Saleh and Leslie Frazier, but as noted there have been no reports of any of them getting a second interview. This would suggest that Schottenheimer has the inside track on all of them, especially given how quickly everything has come together here.
Consider the timeline of Schottenheimer events relative to the opening:
- Monday, January 20th: It is noted he is the betting favorite for the job
- Tuesday, January 21st: It is reported he would get an interview, and then he ultimately did interview. After the interview it was reported that the interview in question was also done with the Cowboys considering him for offensive coordinator as well
- Wednesday, January 22nd: Second interview reported and scheduled for same day
Schottenheimer’s first interview reportedly lasted four hours. How long will the second go Will it end with an offer? Is this really going to happen? It certainly seems that way.
