The Dallas Cowboys have promoted Brian Schottenheimer to head coach, aiming to end a 29-year Super Bowl drought. Schottenheimer, previously the offensive coordinator, steps up after Mike McCarthy's departure following a 7-10 season.
Despite the Dallas Cowboys' disappointing 3-6 record, owner Jerry Jones has confirmed he will not fire head coach Mike McCarthy during the season, emphasizing the importance of continuity and accountability within the team. Following a heavy loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Jones reflects on past coaching changes and sets criteria for evaluating performance, indicating he will consider context like injuries and competitive play in any post-season decisions.
