Former Georgia Bulldogs offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has taken a job with the Dallas Cowboys. Schottenheimer previously worked as offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks and the passing game coordinator for Jacksonville Jaguars.
Schottenheimer worked with No. 1 2021 NFL draft pick Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville during the tumultuous Urban Meyer era. He will look for more stability in Dallas.
Schottenheimer will work with Cowboys’ defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who was previously the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, and Cowboys’ offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. His role will be to study the NFL’s trends and how the league game plans.
The former Georgia offensive coordinator (2015) has bounced around the NFL in several different roles as either offensive coordinator or quarterbacks coach before coming to Jacksonville for the 2021 season. Schottenheimer played football at the University of Florida in college.
Albert Breer reported the hiring:
Sources: The Cowboys are hiring Brian Schottenheimer, the Jaguars’ pass-game coordinator last year, into a unique role, where he’ll help both coordinators, Dan Quinn and Kellen Moore.
Much of Schottenheimer’s job will center on league trends and game-planning. Pretty cool idea.
