A former Dallas Cowboys coordinator took the risk of taking a once-thought lowly head coaching position. Now, he is getting his flowers for his first year with the team.

There's only one coordinator opening remaining on new Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer's staff: offensive coordinator. Whomever he hires to that role will not be the play-caller, as Schottenheimer will assume that role.

Amidst the significant amount of coaching changes happening at the Dallas Cowboys in the new, Brian Schottenheimer era, one major position remains unfilled. The Cowboys have yet to appoint an offensive coordinator – the role Schottenheimer assumed prior to his promotion to head coach this month.
