Cowboys have a long history of retaining a coordinator during a coaching change

The Dallas Cowboys have a new coaching staff. The hiring of Brian Schottenheimer marks the ninth head coach since Jerry Jones bought the team in 1989, and the tenth overall. For the first time in five years, the team will reset the coaching staff.

Well, sort of. It’s not a complete reset because Schottenheimer was with the staff as the team’s offensive coordinator. And when you really think about it, Jerry doesn’t like to rip off the band-aid and start fresh with a completely new coaching staff. With each new head coach he hires, he inevitably retains someone from the prior coaching staff.
