With offensive coordinator Kellen Moore moving on to the Los Angeles Chargers, the Dallas Cowboys did bring in Brian Schottenheimer as the new OC. However, team owner and general manager Jerry Jones confirmed that it will in fact be head coach Mike McCarthy ultimately in charge of play calling.
And according to McCarthy, it's the most fun that he's had since he's been the head coach of the iconic NFL franchise.
"This is the most fun I've had since I've been in Dallas," he said. "Just to be in the meeting room again with the coaches full time. Just to go 8 to 11:30 and break, and you're talking nothing but scheme. I haven't had that. So that part's different."
"I think, number one, we all can use a new voice," McCarthy said. "We all can use a sense of motivation and challenge and so forth. This is a new challenge for him -- his words -- he's very excited about it. I just think, like anything, he's had a chance to go from the different variations of the offense that was in place. He's getting ready to take another turn as far as the variation of what we're getting ready to do. We're gonna build it off of what he has established."
Can McCarthy help quarterback Dak Prescott limit his turnovers after he led the rest of the NFL with 15 interceptions despite appearing in only 12 games due to injury?
