Schottenheimer ran the Seattle offense from 2018 through 2020. During that time his pass rate over expected was -2%. It leaned towards the running game but not overwhelmingly. Year to year, Schottenheimer moved in the passing game’s direction, going from -11% to -2% and finally landing on +6% in 2020.

Schottenheimer, the team’s offensive coordinator the last two seasons, has agreed to a contract to become the Cowboys head coach, the team announced Friday night. The deal is for four years, a person with knowledge of the contract told The Dallas Morning News.

An optimistic Brian Schottenheimer, 51, introduced as coach of the Dallas Cowboys Monday, told reporters that "the objective and the main thing is we want to win the Super Bowl," and he told ESPN's Todd Archer that he believes the club can win "quickly.

As part of the search for the franchise's next head coach, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, in a move that immediately vaulted the team to the top of the sports news cycle, interviewed Pro Football Hall of Famer and current Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders for the vacancy.
