The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0 made a lot of headlines when they announced Brian Schottenheimer was taking over as head coach.<\/p>\n

Cowboys Nation knew all along the coaching search led by Jerry and Stephen Jones would be less than inspiring, but hardly anyone saw Schottenheimer as an option. Thankfully, he\u2019s been able to win fans over with his engaging personality and excellent staff hires.<\/p>\n

That might be enough for fans to buy in, but CBS Sports\u2019 Cody Benjamin isn\u2019t ready to call this a win. In fact, he gave the new head coach a rather insulting slot in his 2025 NFL head coach rankings.<\/p>\n

Schottenheimer ended up landing at No. 31, near the end of the \u201cunproven or underwhelming\u201d tier.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Schottenheimer’s name may be bigger than his resume, but this man first held a coordinator job way back in 2006; it’s not like he’s totally lacking in NFL chops. Are we sure there isn’t a remote possibility he makes like, say, Doug Pederson — another former NFC East hire who was overlooked by all except his own team’s powerful front office — and proves to be just the approachable leader Dallas needs?\u201d \u2014 Benjamin, CBS Sports<\/p>\n

The only coach to rank lower than Schottenheimer is Brian Callahan of the Tennessee Titans. Even Kellen Moore, who interviewed in Dallas before landing with the New Orleans Saints finished higher \u2014 with Moore landing at No. 29.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a harsh ranking, but Benjamin is correct that Schottenheimer is unproven. For that reason, we\u2019ll have to wait and see if he deserves more respect than this.<\/p>\n
