"Both have cited Pete Carroll as a major influence. Schottenheimer only spent three years with Carroll, as his offensive coordinator from 2018 to 2020, but it helped shape his approach to being a head coach. Meanwhile, Canales was on Carroll's Seahawks staff for 13 seasons, overlapping with Schottenheimer's tenure; in fact, Canales was promoted to pass game coordinator in Schottenheimer's final season there."
"When you listen to the two coaches speak, it's not hard to pick out the similarities, either. That's permeated into the way they build a locker room culture, but also in the way they call an offense. Canales has often spoken about crafting his offense around the quarterback, seeking to create layups for them in the passing game and asking them to be a point guard - a facilitator - rather than chucking bombs every other play."
The Cowboys will travel to Carolina for the third straight season to face the Panthers. Dallas dominated the previous two meetings by a combined 63-24 score. Brian Schottenheimer is a first-year head coach who calls plays for Dallas; Dave Canales is in his second season as Carolina's head coach and play-caller. Both coaches were influenced by Pete Carroll and overlapped on the Seahawks staff. Both emphasize building locker room culture and designing offenses around the quarterback as a facilitator. Both prioritize establishing a reliable run game; Carolina ranks near the top in rushing efficiency despite a modest run rate.
