Now, he&#8217;s plucking Oregon co-offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Junior Adams to coach CeeDee Lamb &amp; Co. in Dallas, according to ESPN&#8217;s Todd Archer.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_r2h3w7x4f\">This will be Adams&#8217;s first NFL coaching job, after serving as wide receivers coach at Washington, Western Kentucky, Boise State, Eastern Washington and Montana State. He also had offensive coordinator duties with the Huskies and Hilltoppers.<\/p>\n<figure data-mm-id=\"_vhz2jt3lk\">\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Cowboys are expected to sign Oregon co-offensive coordinator\/WRs coach Junior Adams as their new WRs coach, according to a source. Second college coach to join staff with K-State&#8217;s Conor Riley coming on board as OL coach.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Todd Archer (@toddarcher) February 9, 2025<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_0k8vtfj02\">Schottenheimer will be tasked with getting the most out of Dak Prescott and the Cowboys offense, after serving as offensive coordinator under Mike McCarthy for the last two seasons. He hired former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus as defensive coordinator, who has in turn helped bring over a number of his key assistants.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_das0588s5\">Dallas was a disappointing 7\u201310 in 2024, and Schottenheimer faces plenty of pressure after landing the job, his first as head coach, following a stilted coaching search that only came about after a failed negotiation to retain Mike McCarthy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian Schottenheimer&#8217;s staff in Dallas is bringing in a couple of coaches from the college ranks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":32799,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
