Six big questions on the Cowboys' Brian Schottenheimer pick ... and a grade for the hire
Briefly

Brian Schottenheimer has been appointed the new head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, succeeding Mike McCarthy after a five-year tenure. Despite McCarthy's better-than-average regular-season record, he couldn’t lead the team deeper into the playoffs. The Cowboys, under Jerry Jones, are hoping Schottenheimer, a first-time head coach, can change their fortunes and finally secure the team’s sixth Super Bowl win - the franchise’s first under Jones in many years. The selection process for Schottenheimer did not feature high-profile interviews, signifying a more straightforward search than usual for the Cowboys.
"Brian Schottenheimer, named the Dallas Cowboys' head coach, aims to end the team's NFC Championship Game drought and seek the franchise's sixth Super Bowl trophy."
"The Cowboys have the longest NFC Championship Game drought at 29 years despite the hiring of Mike McCarthy to lead the franchise previously."
