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).

After looking outside the organization for Mike McCarthy's replacement, the Dallas Cowboys chose coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as the 10th coach in franchise history, Jerry Jones told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Friday.

A familiar face, Schottenheimer steps into the role after orchestrating the Cowboys' offense as the offensive coordinator for the past two seasons, despite not calling plays. He succeeds Mike McCarthy, whose tenure ended following the team's disappointing 7-10 finish in 2024.

After the Dallas Cowboys didn’t reach an agreement to retain coach Mike McCarthy, owner Jerry Jones chose a successor from within and promoted offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to head coach, in a move that would have been seen as stunning as recently as a few days ago.
