Brian Schottenheimer has emerged as the unexpected frontrunner for the Cowboys’ head coach position, according to new betting odds.
Before this, Deion Sanders was the top pick, but he’s now sitting at +750 and isn’t even expected to interview. Kellen Moore, who used to be the Cowboys’ offensive coordinator and is now with the Eagles, is still in the mix at +250.
What’s wild is that Schottenheimer’s odds suggest he has a 71.43% chance of getting the job, even though no major reporters are hinting at it. It’s a bit of a shocker!
Interestingly, there’s been no word on whether Schottenheimer has even been interviewed yet. They did have a chat with Robert Saleh, though. The buzz about Schottenheimer seems to be coming from a radio host, Shan Shariff, who mentioned it on social media.
He said he’s hearing a lot of chatter about Schottenheimer, but he’s skeptical that Jerry Jones would actually make that hire. Remember, Jones wasn’t too happy with Shariff earlier this season when he criticized the team’s roster.
DraftKings is clearly paying attention to these rumors, adjusting their odds based on what’s being said in the media. Schottenheimer, who took over as offensive coordinator from Moore, is now the frontrunner.
He’s been seen as a pretty average offensive coordinator, known for being a bit too conservative, especially back when he was with the Jets. It’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out!
