Dallas Buzzes After a Victory — Could Schottenheimer Be Betting on Coach of the Year?

Cowboys Coach of the Year in the Making?

Hello, Cowboys Nation — Friday night was electric! The Thanksgiving showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs lived up to the hype: tense, thrilling, and the ending? Perfectly satisfying.

Dallas has now extended its winning streak to three straight games and is still in the hunt for a playoff spot, though the road ahead remains challenging.

After defeating two former Super Bowl champions in just four days, the team now gets a week off. Week 14 will bring the Lions — and clearly, if the Cowboys maintain their current momentum, a strong December is within reach.

Could Brian Schottenheimer Be in the Coach of the Year Conversation?

One often-overlooked part of this remarkable comeback belongs to Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer — the man keeping the team focused and guiding Dallas to three consecutive wins in November. Is he quietly making a case for Coach of the Year? Some analysts certainly think so.

By the “coach who exceeds preseason expectations” standard, Schottenheimer is in the mix — with current odds at around 35-1. After last night’s win? Those odds might get even better.

The team now sits at 6-5-1, and more importantly, since the tragic loss of young defensive back Marshawn Kneeland, they have remained steadfast — united, resilient — putting themselves in position to fight for a postseason berth, despite the Micah Parsons trade saga with the Packers just two weeks before Week 1.

But if there’s one person who deserves recognition today? It’s Brian Schottenheimer — turning pressure into motivation, and transforming every win into a springboard for a season-long fight.
