The Dallas Cowboys, much like the Las Vegas Raiders and Jacksonville Jaguars, are still looking for their next head coach.
However, they may already have the leading candidate for the job in-house.
According to NBC Sports Bet, Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer is the favorite to be the next head coach of the team (-250).

Schottenheimer has bounced around the league for a long time and has seen a lot in the process.
The 51-year-old was an assistant for the then-St. Louis Rams way back in 1997 and would go on to bounce in between the college and professional game for the next 25+ years.
He has been an offensive coordinator, a quarterbacks coach, a passing game coordinator, a wide receivers coach, and a tight ends coach during his long career as a football coach.
Aside from the 2015 season when he was at the University of Georgia, he has spent the last 23 seasons coaching in the NFL for the likes of the Washington Commanders, New York Jets, St. Louis Rams, Indianapolis Colts, Seattle Seahawks, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Cowboys.
Despite not ever being a head coach, he has certainly been around the block and seen plenty of talent come through the league.
He has coached the likes of Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, Trevor Lawrence, and Dak Prescott over the last decade.
If the Cowboys want to go the route of Schottenheimer, it will be hard to argue with his experience as an offensive coach.
