The hiring of Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer was met with a lukewarm reception, but he appears to be set up for success more than NFL fans think.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0underwent several changes during the 2025\u00a0NFL\u00a0offseason, but everything began with the team parting ways with head coach\u00a0Mike McCarthy\u00a0and replacing him with offensive coordinator\u00a0Brian Schottenheimer.<\/p>\n

Schottenheimer’s hiring was met with a lukewarn reception by Cowboys fans and mocked by fans around the league, especially after the job was linked to other high-profile candidates.<\/p>\n

But Schottenheimer quickly won over the fanbase with his energy and change of locker room culture. Now, it’s just time to see if there will be on-field results.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly, while many were underwhelmed by the Schottenheimer hire, he ranked atop a list of “new NFL coaches in the best position to win” that was recently published by ESPN.com<\/p>\n

ESPN.com’s Neil Paine noted the team’s proven track record of winning regular-season games and the talent on the roster if Dallas can stay healthy. If all goes well, Schottenheimer could be leading a playoff team.<\/p>\n

Dallas went 7-10 in 2024, even in a nightmare season with Prescott sidelined for more than half the schedule. Plus, they are just a season removed from a 12-5 campaign in which they ranked fifth on defense and led the league in scoring, breaking 500 points for just the second time in franchise history,” the article states.<\/p>\n

“Much depends on the availability of the team’s high-end talent, which is perpetually in question due to factors ranging from injuries (Prescott) to contract disputes (Micah Parsons). Still, Schottenheimer inherits a team with a proven track record of winning ballgames, and it has the potential to make the playoffs again right away.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Dallas ended the preseason on a high note, so it will be interesting to see if that momentum carries into the regular season in a matter of weeks. If it does, and the Cowboys can get rolling in 2025, they may turn out to be one of the biggest surprises in the league this season.<\/p>\n
