Brian Schottenheimer, the son of legendary coach Marty, has been appointed head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Schottenheimer has been promoted from offensive co-ordinator to replace Mike McCarthy, who left the Cowboys after five years in charge earlier this month.

The Dallas Cowboys are hiring offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as their next head coach, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Jane Slater reported on Friday.
