Filling out his staff and figuring out how the offense is going to run are top-of-the-list items for Brian Schottenheimer.

Brian Schottenheimer, the son of legendary coach Marty, has been appointed head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Schottenheimer has been promoted from offensive co-ordinator to replace Mike McCarthy, who left the Cowboys after five years in charge earlier this month.

The Dallas Cowboys media is currently in a frenzy trying to figure out who the next Dallas Cowboys head coach will be. Many Cowboys reporters believed a deal with Brian Schottenheimer was set to be done by the end of yesterday or possibly today.
