Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, as unpredictable as he can be at times, made a move to choose familiarity with the team's newest head coaching hire. Dallas has promoted Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Scottenheimer to be the franchise's 10th head coach -- and the ninth under Jones' ownership that began in 1989 -- the team announced Friday night.

51, and son of former Browns, Chiefs and Chargers head coach Marty Schottenheimer, Brian Schottenheimer has spent the last three seasons as an assistant under Mike McCarthy. He was brought on in 2022 as an offensive analyst, then moved into the role of coordinator when the team parted ways with Kellen Moore in 2023.
