We just got past the head coach carousel for this offseason, but it is never too early to start looking ahead at who could headline the next group of candidates in the NFL. For the Dallas Cowboys, they especially might want to start considering this, since Brian Schottenheimer\u2019s staff seems poised to be poached if the 2026 season is an improvement for America\u2019s Team.<\/p>\n
\u201cSchotty\u201d has built an impressive group of coaches as he heads into his second year; on offense, these guys are all returnees, but the defensive side is new. If the offense continues to excel, and the new defensive staff turns that side of the ball around, Dallas could lose assistants from both units next offseason.<\/p>\n
Klayton Adams: Offensive Coordinator, Run-Game Guru On The Rise<\/p>\n
Background: 43 Years Old, Colts Asst. O-Line & Tight Ends Coach (2019-2022), Cardinals O-Line Coach (2023-2024), Cowboys Offensive Coordinator (2025-Present).<\/p>\n
Klayton Adams, a Boise State alum and long-time offensive line, tight ends, and running game specialist, garnered a ton of attention after just one year in Dallas as the offensive coordinator, and he wasn\u2019t even calling plays. The Sacramento native came in, and Dallas\u2019s run game success skyrocketed, while Arizona\u2019s plummeted; his impact on the offense was huge. Adams\u2019 career-long focus on the trenches could make him a top head coaching candidate if he notches another successful season with the Cowboys under his belt.<\/p>\n
Not to mention, he\u2019s young, and his leadership seems impressive. Dallas was able to block Philadelphia from interviewing him for their OC opening in January, but they won\u2019t be able to prevent the same from happening a year from now if teams with head coach openings come calling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We just got past the head coach carousel for this offseason, but it is never too early to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":165646,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,932,104,103],"class_list":{"0":"post-165645","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-dallas","9":"tag-dallas-cowboys-news","10":"tag-dallas-headlines","11":"tag-dallas-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=165645"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/165645\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/165646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=165645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=165645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=165645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
