Schottenheimer has never been a head coach but he's been the Cowboys' OC and has a good rapport with Dak Prescott.

Dallas’ coaching search went the unexpected route Tuesday as Schottenheimer became the latest candidate to interview for the position.

The Dallas Cowboys completed an internal interview with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer on Tuesday night in their search to replace former coach Mike McCarthy. Schottenheimer is the first known internal candidate to interview for the head coaching job.
