Brian Schottenheimer, 51, waited a long time for his first head coaching job. He was an NFL assistant for 25 years before the Cowboys named him their head coach, allowing him to follow his father into a top NFL job.

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer moved players' lockers around and they have zero say in the change.

Despite that, Schottenheimer is an experienced coach. He is just 51 years old but as the son of former head coach Marty Schottenheimer, who was a head coach in the NFL for 21 seasons, he was given opportunities to get into the sport early. Brian Schottenheimer was an assistant with the Rams as far back as 1997, when he was just 24.
