Report: Dallas Cowboys planning second interview with OC Brian Schottenheimer

The Dallas Cowboys will interview OC Brian Schottenheimer a second time for their head coaching position, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport

“The Cowboys are planning to have a second interview with their own OC Brian Schottenheimer today, per me, Tom Pelissero and Jane Slate,” Rapoport wrote on Twitter. “After spending nearly four hours with Schottenheimer yesterday, Dallas brass sits down with him again.”

According to the latest odds at DraftKings, via Pro Football Talk, Schottenheimer leads the way at -250 with the latest odds. Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore was the favorite but is now listed at +250. The odds have since been taken down, as Pro Football Talk reports has happened several times due to the volatility of the market.

Schottenheimer just wrapped up his second season as the Cowboys’ OC following a year as a coaching analyst. He’s been coaching since 1997 and is the son of the late Marty Schottenheimer.

Brian’s had stops with the St. Louis Rams, Kansas City Chiefs, Syracuse, USC, the then-Washington Redskins, then-San Diego Chargers, New York Jets, Georgia, Indianapolis Colts, Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars.

He’s been an OC with the Chargers, Jets, Rams, Georgia and Seahawks. Brian Schottenheimer would be a first-time head coach if he was internally promoted by the Cowboys.

As a player, Schottenheimer was a quarterback at the University of Florida and backed up Danny Wuerffel and was a member of the 1996 national championship team. He went into coaching the following year.

From Deion Sanders to Moore to now Schottenheimer in terms of the odds, the Cowboys coaching search has taken some wild turns.

“They are in their own little category,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter said Sunday. “Because it doesn’t seem like they are in on the other candidates. Now, they could always call about Aaron Glenn, we’ll see if they do… The Dallas Cowboys, I think, are moving at their own pace in their own universe, doing what they do. We wait to see where that brings them. But it feels like the other five teams are in on the Lions coordinators and the Cowboys are operating in their own universe.”
