"Klayton Adams: Offensive Coordinator, Run-Game Guru On The Rise Background: 43 Years Old, Colts Asst. O-Line & Tight Ends Coach (2019-2022), Cardinals O-Line Coach (2023-2024), Cowboys Offensive Coordinator (2025-Present). Klayton Adams, a Boise State alum and long-time offensive line, tight ends, and running game specialist, garnered a ton of attention after just one year in Dallas as the offensive coordinator, and he wasn't even calling plays."
"If the offense continues to excel, and the new defensive staff turns that side of the ball around, Dallas could lose assistants from both units next offseason. The Sacramento native came in, and Dallas's run game success skyrocketed, while Arizona's plummeted; his impact on the offense was huge. Adams' career-long focus on the trenches could make him a top head coaching candidate if he notches another successful season with the Cowboys under his belt. Not to mention, he's young, and his leadership seems impressive."
The head coach carousel recently ended, but focus already shifts to future coaching candidates and potential staff turnover. Brian Schottenheimer's staff in Dallas could face poaching if the 2026 season yields improvement, as the offense features returning coaches while the defensive staff is new. Klayton Adams, a 43-year-old run-game and offensive line specialist, drastically improved Dallas's rushing attack in his first year as offensive coordinator despite not calling plays. Adams's trenches-focused background, youth, and apparent leadership make him a likely head coaching target should he replicate success next season. Dallas blocked a recent interview request for Adams, but that protection may not hold next offseason.
