The Dallas Cowboys have hired Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach, following a brief search after parting ways with Mike McCarthy. This marks Schottenheimer's first head coaching role. Owner Jerry Jones emphasized the need for immediate success, stating the hire is intended to benefit quarterback Dak Prescott and the current team. He described the decision as a "hit the ground running" approach. McCarthy had previously led the team to three 12-win seasons, setting a high standard for Schottenheimer. The Cowboys aim to maintain momentum with this new leadership.
