The day before the Dallas Cowboys announce Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach, former candidate Kellen Moore orchestrated seven rushing touchdowns and 55 points for the Philadelphia Eagles in an NFC Championship Game victory.

The Cowboys choice has apparently left Kellen Moore as surprised at being passed over as many are surprised at the elevation of Brian Schottenheimer.

Schottenheimer's skill set, energy and understanding of the Cowboys' current situation helped Jerry Jones make his decision.

Brian Schottenheimer appears to be furthest along the road to a job offer, but Kellen Moore is more widely regarded around the league as a play-caller who is adapting to league trends.

Jerry Jones showed the wrong kind of urgency when choosing the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys and it cost him better options.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was set to introduce new head coach Brian Schottenheimer, but it quickly got off the rails.

The Cowboys will hire an offensive coordinator, but like Mike McCarthy before him, Brian Schottenheimer will call the offense.

The Dallas Cowboys formally introduced Brian Schottenheimer as the 10th head coach in franchise history late Monday morning from The Star. Schottenheimer signed a four-year contract with a franchise that hasn’t won a Super Bowl since the 1995 season.

The Dallas Cowboys' extensive search for their 10th head football coach ended in their backyard when they promoted Brian Schottenheimer from the offensive coordinator spot he held under his predecessor Mike McCarthy.

Serving as Cowboys offensive coordinator the last two seaosns, Schottenheimer brings 25 years of NFL coaching experience to the job.

That’s all Cowboys fans want to know after their favorite team named Brian Schottenheimer the 10th head coach in franchise history Friday night.
