FRISCO. Texas—The Dallas Cowboys will hold a press conference Monday morning to unveil new head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
For the past three years, Schottenheimer has been in Dallas. After being employed as a coaching analyst in 2022, he was elevated to offensive coordinator for the final two seasons.
The two parties reached an agreement, and Hishiring was announced just before 9 p.m. on Friday.
The news conference will be broadcast live at 11 a.m. on FOX 4 and this page.
Brian Schottenheimer named Cowboys head coach
Jeff Kolb and Mike Doocy discuss Brian Schottenheimer’s hire and Jerry Jones’s attempt to spin matters at Monday’s press conference.
On Friday, the Dallas Cowboys and Brian Schottenheimer reached an agreement for Schottenheimer to become the team’s tenth head coach.
Throughout his tenure, Schottenheimer has never held the position of head coach.
Jones said, “Brian Schottenheimer is known as a career assistant,” to Adam Schefter of ESPN. “He is no longer Brian. He is now the Dallas Cowboys’ head coach.
The 51-year-old Schottenheimer is the son of legendary coach Marty Schottenheimer, who got his first NFL job by hiring former head coach Mike McCarthy.

The four-year contract of the new head coach is reportedly comparable to that of wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott.
The Cowboys invited a number of applicants for interviews, including Schottenheimer.
Additionally interviewed for the position were former New York Jets head coach Robert Sale, Seattle Seahawks assistant head coach Leslie Frazier, and offensive coordinator Kelvin Moore of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Schottenheimer and Moore have both played for the Cowboys before. However, the squad claims “it was Schottenheimer who boasted the much lengthier resume of overall coaching experience between the two though, despite having not called plays in Dallas during the McCarthy era.”
The Eagles, led by Moore, will compete in the Super Bowl.
