The Dallas Cowboys were raked over the coals when they hired Brian Schottenheimer as their new head coach. While it's only been 12 games, it's become increasingly clear that Schottenheimer is an upgrade over Mike McCarthy.

Schottenheimer has also modernized the offense, and players feed off his emotion and energy. Go look at how the locker room celebrates wins under Schottenheimer compared to the previous regime. It's a night-and-day difference.
