The Cowboys will enter 2023 with a new offensive coaching arrangement, as the team replaced Kellen Moore at offensive coordinator with Brian Schottenheimer. Additionally, head coach Mike McCarthy is expected to take over as the full-time play-caller.
When asked why he made that decision, McCarthy recently said Moore leaned too heavily on the passing game at times and tried to “light up the scoreboard” instead of thinking about running the ball to rest the defense.
“I don’t desire to be the No. 1 offense in the league,” McCarthy said this week. “I want to be the No. 1 team in the league with a number of wins and a championship. And if we gotta give up some production and take care of the ball better to get that, then that’s what we’ll do, because we have a really good defense.”
