Schottenheimer has been a career assistant coach with 13 different teams in both college and the pros since 1997. There's a reason he hasn't been a HC, but leave it to Jerry Jones, the worst GM in NFL history that can't be fired.

He looks for puppets. He looks for HC's that will just coach the team, has no real say on who is on the roster or 53. Won't challenge Jones as well.

Jerruh should have hired Saleh imo...
I keep pimping Saleh, but he aint getting HC offers. Maybe his ceiling is DC?
I'm missing something here.

I have heard he is full of himself. More about himself than the team. Arrogant. More about his image. Maybe DC is just who he is.

Jerry has too big of an ego to hire someone that will stand up to him. Saleh is not the guy to put up with nonsense. They were interested in him for both HC and DC, I don't blame him for passing on Dallas

You said it - his ceiling is DC. No need to overthink it.

In related news, the Lions have now lost 5 assistants, including both coordinators… pity!
Gone are offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn, defensive line coach Terrell Williams, receivers coach Antwaan Randle El, and assistant quarterbacks coach J.T. Barrett.
More could eventually go. All will have to be replaced.

That made me LOL Jimmy...
It appears the Vikings will have Brian Flores back as their defensive coordinator for a third season.
However, two Vikings assistants continue to interview for promotions.
Flores, who interviewed with the Jets, Jaguars, and Bears earlier this month, appears set to stay in Minnesota for the 2025 season after all three teams hired head coaches last week. New York, Jacksonville, and Chicago chose their new head coaches within a week of talking to Flores, who interviewed virtually, per NFL rules.
One of Flores’ top assistants, defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Daronte Jones, interviewed with the Jaguars on Monday morning for their defensive coordinator opening, according to NFL Media.
Jones, who has worked four of the past five seasons with the Vikings, also reportedly talked this weekend with Chicago about the coordinator job under new Bears head coach Ben Johnson.
Assistant quarterbacks coach Grant Udinski interviewed virtually with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday for their offensive coordinator opening. Udinski hasn’t turned 30 yet, but he’s already talked with the Bucs and Seahawks about a potential promotion after three years in Minnesota.
Flores’ deal with the Vikings runs through the 2025 season.
O’Connell had been supportive of Flores’ head coaching prospects, saying in a December interview he thought teams would be “really smart” to talk to Flores about a head coach job.
