Brian Schottenheimer makes a push for coach of the year

Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer is gaining attention for the NFL Coach of the Year award, with current odds at 35-1. The Cowboys have achieved significant victories over recent Super Bowl LIX teams, improving their record to 6-5-1 and securing three consecutive wins following the death of defensive lineman Marshawn Kneeland. Schottenheimer has maintained team focus despite preseason challenges, including trading linebacker Micah Parsons to the Packers. The Cowboys are poised for a postseason run with upcoming games against the Lions, Vikings, Chargers, Commanders, and Giants. Schottenheimer's leadership could earn him the coach of the year award, echoing his father Marty Schottenheimer's 2004 achievement. The Cowboys' Week 4 tie with the Packers may play a pivotal role in their playoff chances.
