Nearly a year ago, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones proclaimed his willingness to go all in. To do whatever it took in the final year of Mike McCarthy’s contract to get to a place they hadn’t been to in three decades.

“[McCarthy] has had some great in-season success,” Jones said last year at the Senior Bowl. “Now he’s come up short three times and advanced us in the playoff. But I like that fact that’s he’s hanging around the rim, and I like what the team has done to hang around the rim. So, I think, what the answer that I would have is, that I’m aware that we’re hanging around the rim. We’re not getting the ball in but when you hang around the rim – let’s don’t discount hanging around the rim – where we are right now with the players we’ve got, and I’m thinking about it from the whole look.”

The Cowboys airballed their all-in attempts, resulting in a split between them and McCarthy.

A new coach will be tasked with trying to do more than hang around the rim, and now we know who it will be.

The Cowboys confirmed late on Friday that they have hired former offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.

Schottenheimer will be the ninth head coach Jones has had as the owner of the Cowboys.

The Cowboys are set to introduce Schottenheimer at 11 a.m. (CDT) on Monday.
