Who will be the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys?
It’s a question the NFL world has been trying to figure out from the moment the team decided to part ways with Mike McCarthy after five seasons. Several names have been linked to the vacancy, including former Cowboys such as Deion Sanders and Kellen Moore, but so far they’ve only interviewed former Jets coach Robert Saleh.
However, now an extremely unlikely betting favorite has emerged in the Cowboys’ coaching search.

Schottenheimer hasn’t received any head coaching interviews during this hiring cycle, and he’s viewed as an extreme longshot to land the job. Yet, somehow these betting odds suggest otherwise.
While Schottenheimer has been an NFL offensive coordinator for four different teams, he has no head coaching experience, which hasn’t prevented several others from earning the job.
What do you think? Does Vegas know something no one else does? Or is this just a case of no one having a clue what’s going on inside the mind of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones?
Our hunch is to go with the latter, yet it’s only a matter of time before other names are linked to the Cowboys’ coaching vacancy, which will surely heavily swing the odds in another direction.
