The Dallas Cowboys made the decision to move on from Mike McCarthy and now they are in need of a new voice.
There was a stunning shift in the odds for the next head coach of the team.
Brian Schottenheimer’s name hasn’t been mentioned often in this head coaching cycle, but he has certainly grabbed headlines as he suddenly became the favorite in the market for the next Cowboys head coach at DraftKings.
DraftKings has Schottenheimer at -250 odds to be the next Dallas Cowboys head coach.
