But not this time. No, Jerry Jones wanted to sneak the announcement of Brian Schottenheimer being named the franchise’s 10th head coach under the radar, leaking the word just before 9:45 pm eastern on a Friday night.

Jones made the comfortable move that likely won't cost too much to replace Mike McCarthy as the Cowboys head coach

The curious part is that Brian has been an assistant coach since 1998, and while he had the tag of “Hot Assistant Coach” for a while, it faded. He’s served as an analyst, a quarterbacks coach, a tight ends coach, and an offensive coordinator since he started his career with the St. Louis Rams, in 1997.

Here comes the gossip that would have Jerry Jones already forfeiting the 2025 season, tanking so his Cowboys can select University of Texas QB Arch Manning in the 2026 NFL Draft.

As a group phone call shows, Schottenheimer is very much a "Dak-friendly'' hire ... with the next question to be answered: Will it ever be a Cowboys Nation-friendly hire?

Cowboys fans are still trying to figure out what is going on in Dallas. So is one of the franchise’s greatest players of all-time. “They’ve lost a generation of fans,”

Jerry Jones' search to replace Mike McCarthy didn't take him far. The Cowboys are hiring Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach.

"How,'' wonders Cowboys legend Irvin of the in-house hire of coach Brian Schottenheimer, "do you do the same damn thing and get something different?"

Connor Orr of SI.com believes Jerry Jones doesn’t care about the fans and says Dallas Cowboys nation should return the favor.

It’s finally happened! The Dallas Cowboys have decided that Brian Schottenheimer will lead them as head coach. The offensive coordinator’s jump to the top coaching rank surprised many in the footballing world.
