Brian Schottenheimer is expected to interview for the Cowboys head coach position

The current betting favorite to be the Cowboys’ next head coach will now talk to the franchise about the job.

According to an NFL media report, Dallas offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is expected to interview with the club for the vacant position.

Schottenheimer, 51, has been with the Cowboys since 2022 – first as a coaching analyst and the last two seasons as offensive coordinator under Mike McCarthy.

The son of longtime NFL head coach Marty Schottenheimer, Brian Schottenheimer was the offensive coordinator for the Jets, Rams and Seahawks. He was also the QB coach for Washington, the Chargers and the Colts.

With Dallas reportedly valuing continuity for quarterback Dak Prescott, Schottenheimer becoming head coach would be one way to ensure that.

Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who spent most of his coaching career with the Cowboys, is also considered a leading candidate to become Dallas’ next coach.
