Cowboys fans seem to be coming around to the idea of Brian Schottenheimer.
The Dallas Cowboys season may be over, but the NFL rolls on and the offseason takes over. We still have the Super Bowl to go and all the hoopla around that (more on hoopla below), but for most teams taking care of offseason business is in full swing. The Cowboys were one of the franchises that underwent a big change, that of changing their head coach.
At first, it seemed that Mike McCarthy would stay and things would just continue on until Jerry Jones wouldn’t give him the length of contract that he wanted. McCarthy walked, which led to a chaotic head coaching search that included names like Kellen Moore, Robert Saleh, and apparently Pete Carroll in a bigger way than we thought.
In the end, though, it was offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer who got the job. What did Cowboys fans think of that? As you might already surmise, they didn’t like it. The most popular grade was a ‘C’ (30%), followed closely by an ‘F’ (27%) and a ‘D’ (24%). That’s a vote of no confidence.
We’ll have to wait to see how it ultimately plays out. It looks like the Cowboys are assembling a pretty strong coaching staff around Schottenheimer so that may help when the 2025 season rolls around. But it is safe to say Cowboys fans aren’t thinking Super Bowl right now.

- It’s a field goal competition pitting brother vs brother with a max of 3 rounds.
- If the first kicker makes his 25-yard kick, the second kicker is given a chance to tie.
- But if the first kicker misses, the second kicker is given a chance to win.
- If both kickers miss an attempt, they will move 5 yards closer for the next round.’
- If no winner is decided after 3 rounds, the kicker who kicks it closest to the center target on the net in the third round will win the tiebreaker and be crowned Kick of Destiny Champion!
