Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk writes that Schottenhemier's odds to become the Cowboys' next head coach currently sit at -250 on the DraftKings sportsbook -- the highest of any coach in consideration. This is interesting for a few reasons; among them is the fact that there's no official report of Schottenheimer being interviewed by the team for the role. In addition to that, Schottenheimer has never been a head coach despite spending more than 20 years as a coach in the league, and some of his most notable offensive coordinator stints left a lot to be desired. As Florio points out, Schottenheimer "has never been a serious candidate to be an NFL head coach," but he does provide some sense of familiarity for Jerry Jones and Dak Prescott. We'll see what follows this latest development, but Scottenheimer feels like a long shot to get the job despite what the current odds suggest.
