"Brian Schottenheimer figured his chance to be a head coach in the NFL had come and gone long before the Dallas Cowboys promoted him a quarter-century into his career as an assistant. Star quarterback Dak Prescott wasn't even thinking about Schottenheimer taking over the Cowboys when owner Jerry Jones and the rest of the front office sought his opinion following the departure of former coach Mike McCarthy."
""And I'm like, 'Oh, yeah, if I'm promoting him so much as the OC, I'm not going to take away everything I just said because you said head coach,' Prescott said. Schottenheimer was the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets when he was a hot head coaching prospect nearly 20 years ago. He returns Sunday, all these years later, when the Cowboys (1-2-1) visit the Jets (0-4)."
Brian Schottenheimer believed his chance to be an NFL head coach had passed before the Dallas Cowboys promoted him after a quarter-century as an assistant. Dak Prescott initially did not consider Schottenheimer for the head coaching role when the front office requested his opinion following Mike McCarthy's departure, and Prescott emphasized not rescinding praise for Schottenheimer's offensive coordinator work because of the head coach title. Schottenheimer served as the New York Jets offensive coordinator nearly 20 years ago and gained experience calling plays for Brett Favre and coaching Mark Sanchez to consecutive AFC championship games. He later coached with the St. Louis Rams, Georgia, and the Seattle Seahawks, where the offense finished in the top 10 in his second year.
