After the Dallas Cowboys didn’t reach an agreement to retain coach Mike McCarthy, owner Jerry Jones chose a successor from within and promoted offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to head coach, in a move that would have been seen as stunning as recently as a few days ago.

After looking outside the organization for Mike McCarthy’s replacement, the team surprisingly promotes its offensive coordinator to be the 10th head coach in franchise history.

Schottenheimer was named Friday the 10th coach of the Dallas Cowboys and the ninth in Jerry Jones' tenure as owner and general manager, joining Hall of Famers Landry, Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells among the team's head coaches.
