The Dallas Cowboys have officially unveiled their coaching staff for the 2025 NFL season under newly appointed head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Schottenheimer, promoted to head coach on January 24, 2025, after serving as the team’s offensive coordinator, has assembled a team of seasoned professionals aimed at revitalizing the Cowboys’ performance.
Offensive Coordinator: Klayton Adams joins the Cowboys from the Arizona Cardinals, where he served as the offensive line coach. Adams brings a wealth of experience in offensive line strategies, which is expected to enhance the Cowboys’ offensive front.
Passing Game Specialist: Ken Dorsey has been appointed to this role, bringing a diverse coaching background, including his recent tenure as the offensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns in 2024. Dorsey’s expertise is anticipated to bolster the Cowboys’ aerial attack.
Assistant Wide Receivers Coach: Tiquan Underwood continues in his role, contributing his experience to develop the team’s receiving corps.
Tight Ends Coach: Lunda Wells, with 13 years of coaching experience, remains in charge of the tight ends, aiming to further develop this crucial position group.
Defensive Coordinator: Matt Eberflus returns to the Cowboys, bringing 17 years of coaching experience. Eberflus previously served as the head coach of the Chicago Bears and is expected to implement a robust defensive scheme.
Assistant Defensive Line Coach: Bryan Bing, with three years of experience, continues to assist in developing the defensive front.
Linebackers Coach: Dave Borgonzi, boasting 15 years in coaching, takes on the responsibility of mentoring the linebacking unit.
Defensive Assistant: JJ Clark joins the staff to provide additional support to the defensive coaching team.
This comprehensive coaching lineup reflects Schottenheimer’s commitment to blending experienced leadership with fresh perspectives. The strategic appointments aim to address the challenges faced in the previous season, where the Cowboys concluded with a 7-10 record. Notably, the team’s offensive struggles were highlighted by a significant regression, averaging 327.5 yards and 20.6 points per game, partly due to the season-ending injury of starting quarterback Dak Prescott.
The Cowboys’ front office and fans are optimistic that this restructured coaching staff will foster a culture of excellence and drive the team toward a successful 2025 season.
