Cowboys history shows reaching the playoffs as a first-year head coach is a coin flip

It is hard to objectively say what would constitute as a successful season for the 2025 Dallas Cowboys. This franchise has been living in a shadow that only continues to grow for the past 30 years so. While we all want to see it put to an end, just making the playoffs on some level would feel like serious progress.

That statement obviously involves some context and even more is necessary to figure out what success or playoff probabilities are like for this year’s version of the team. Given that they have a new head coach in Brian Schottenheimer that obviously plays a role, as does the fact that Schotty has never been a head coach before.
