At first blush, it could be easy for Cowboys fans to expect more of the same in 2025—a Cowboys team that is good enough in the regular season to dominate radio shows and the prime-time schedule but largely irrelevant in the postseason. However, fans can at least hope that things will be different this year. That’s because Dallas isn’t running it back with the same coaching staff it had in 2024.
After opting not to re-sign Mike McCarthy, the Cowboys instead pivoted to Brian Schottenheimer. While there’s no guarantee that Schottenheimer will deliver better results than McCarthy did, he’ll at least bring something different to the table.
At least for now, the Cowboys can hope that something different is all they need to go from being regular-season stars to legitimate contenders.
