Brian Schottenheimer (and his father, Marty) will mark the ninth father-son head coach pairing in NFL history.

There are a number of strategic plans that can be devised and executed in the NFL Draft. A year ago, the Rams had the idea to pair Florida State defensive linemen Jared Verse and Braden Fiske to compensate for the singular loss felt from Aaron Donald's retirement.

Brian Schottenheimer, the son of legendary coach Marty, has been appointed head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Schottenheimer has been promoted from offensive co-ordinator to replace Mike McCarthy, who left the Cowboys after five years in charge earlier this month.
