The Dallas Cowboys announced on Friday who will officially be part of the coaching staff for the 2025 season following the hiring of Brian Schottenheimer as the new head coach.
Schottenheimer is the 10th coach in Cowboys history, a team that was born in 1960, and was officially announced as the franchise’s leader in late January.
The hiring of offensive and defensive coordinators were the next positions to be filled: former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus is the new defensive coordinator, while former Cardinals offensive line coach Klayton Adams is the offensive coordinator.
It should be remembered that Schottenheimer will have his first experience as a head coach, as the team prepares for free agency signings, and the direction of the team seems much clearer than it has been not only in recent weeks, but in recent seasons.
The 25 Dallas Cowboys coaches for the 2025 NFL season
This is the coaching staff for Dallas:
Entrenador
- Brian Schottenheimer
Offensive
- Offensive coordinator: Klayton Adams
- Aerial game specialist: Ken Dorsey

- Wide Receivers: Junior Adams
- Wide Receivers Coach: Tiquan Underwood
- Running backs: Derrick Foster
- Quarterbacks: Steve Shimko
- QB Assistant: Dele Harding

One of the most important keys to continuity was keeping Wells on the team, after the young and talented tight ends coach agreed to a new multi-year contract to continue developing tight end Jake Ferguson, former second-round pick Luke Schoonmaker and emerging players such as Brevyn Spann-Ford.
The arrival of Klayton Adams as offensive coordinator and Derrick Foster as RBs coach, combined with offensive line coach Conor Riley, sets the stage for what could be the return of a dominant ground attack in Dallas, pending fundamental roster moves that will occur in free agency and the NFL Draft.
