Jerry Jones passed on outside options to make his offensive coordinator a first-time head coach. Here's how it happened.

Former Bengals and Rams standout Andrew Whitworth recently gave his thoughts on Dallas’ head coaching move, reliving some of his past meetings with Schottenheimer in the NFC West. Whitworth suited up for the Rams while Schottenheimer was calling offensive plays in Seattle from 2018-20.

From the front office to the locker room, Schottenheimer has earned praise for his leadership and approach. The latest endorsement came from second-year linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who spoke highly of the new coach’s potential impact on the team.
