Schottenheimer, who has been with Dallas for the last three seasons, served as Seattle’s offensive coordinator under Pete Carroll from 2018-2020.

WFAA Sports Anchor Joe Trahan confirmed that the former Seattle Seahawks coach had "informal discussions" with the Cowboys about the head coaching position and the betting favorite for the role, Brian Schottenheimer, who was also an offensive coordinator under Carroll from 2018 to 2020.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald is going through the process of appointing a new offensive coordinator after relieving Ryan Grubb of his duties. Thus far, Macdonald has identified, at least publicly, three candidates. They are Hank Fraley (Lions OL coach), Klint Kubiak (Saints OC), and Thomas Brown (Bears interim HC).
