After looking outside the organization for Mike McCarthy’s replacement, the team surprisingly promotes its offensive coordinator to be the 10th head coach in franchise history.

The Cowboys' defensive interior has been a sore spot for awhile now. Teams ran all over Dallas early in the season, and recent draft picks have busted in this spot. Addressing it is a must because the rest of the defense has the ingredients to be strong. ( Matt Eberflus is the reported top candidate to be the Cowboys' defensive coordinator.)

Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, as unpredictable as he can be at times, made a move to choose familiarity with the team's newest head coaching hire. Dallas has promoted Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Scottenheimer to be the franchise's 10th head coach -- and the ninth under Jones' ownership that began in 1989 -- the team announced Friday night.
