"Brian Schottenheimer is at a crossroads. His first season on the job as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys showed some promise, but there was a fatal flaw: the defense. With a slightly better defense this past year, Dallas wins at least four more games, giving them 11 wins and surely a spot in the postseason. It's why Matt Eberflus was fired after just one year. And if Schottenheimer can't get things right on that side of the ball,"
"As rumors continue to percolate, there seems to be a growing trend in this coordinator search: that the top two candidates are Jim Leonhard and Jonathan Gannon. We previously laid out why Leonhard would be a home run hire, giving the Cowboys their own version of Vikings mastermind Brian Flores. Gannon, however, would be a disastrous hire. The recently-fired Cardinals head coach was already one of five names we warned against. Now that he's getting serious consideration, though, Gannon's track record merits a deeper dive."
Brian Schottenheimer's first season as Cowboys head coach showed promise but was undermined by a weak defense. A modest defensive improvement would have produced at least four additional wins, an 11-regular-season record and a postseason berth. Matt Eberflus was fired after one year because of defensive failures. Schottenheimer faces intensified scrutiny if the defense does not improve and could be judged similarly to former coordinators. The Cowboys' coordinator search has narrowed to Jim Leonhard and Jonathan Gannon. Leonhard is presented as an ideal hire, while Gannon is criticized due to concerns about his track record and rapid ascent through coaching ranks.
