Betting odds reveal a shocking new favorite to be next Cowboys head coach

Are the Cowboys trending toward a new head coach that no one saw coming?

DraftKings Sportsbook has posted new bettable odds on who will be the Cowboys coach, and an obscure choice has become a mᴀssive favorite: the team’s offensive coordinator, Brian ScH๏τtenheimer, is a -250 favorite to be their next head coach.

Previously, Deion Sanders was favored to be the head coach, but has fallen off now down to +750 with six candidates ahead of him and reportedly isn’t expected to interview for the job.

Kellen Moore, their former offensive coordinator who now is working under Nick Sirianni with the Eagles, has remained steady as the second favorite at +250.

The ScH๏τtenheimer noise is rather surprising, as the odds imply a 71.43 percent chance that he lands the job despite no major reporter giving hints in that direction.

It is not being reported that ScH๏τtenheimer has even been interviewed for the job or has one scheduled, but they have had a first interview with Robert Saleh.

It appears that the only reported interest in the former Jets offensive coordinator is from 105.7 THE FAN radio host Shan Shariff, who posted the speculation on his X account on Jan. 18.

“I am starting to hear a ton of buzz about Brian ScH๏τtenheimer inside the Star,” Shariff said on X. “There is NO WAY I believe Jerry would ignite the fanbase with that hire, I’m just telling you what’s getting louder. #Cowboys.”

You may remember Cowboys owner Jerry Jones threatened to get Shariff and his co-host RJ fired after they criticized Jones’ roster construction earlier this season.

So far, it appears that DraftKings is taking these comments very seriously, as they move their lines based not just on bets made and money, but also on information from reporters.

DraftKings did not respond to a request for comment on this specific instance.

Betting on the NFL?

ScH๏τtenheimer, 51, has long been considered an average offensive coordinator that is a bit too conservative dating back to his time with the Rex Ryan-led Jets.
