Inside the Minds of NFL’s 2025 Offensive Geniuses: Who’s Revolutionizing the Playbook?

What’s important to understand about McDaniels is that his offenses are great when he’s a coordinator and bad when he’s the head coach: He’s had a top-10 scoring offense in 12 of his 14 seasons as an offensive coordinator and a bottom-19 scoring offense in three of his four years across his two head coaching jobs. That bodes well for coach Mike Vrabel in his first season with the Patriots.

As for Schottenheimer, he’s called offensive plays for the New York Jets (2006-11), Rams (2012-14) and Seahawks (2018-20) before his current role in Dallas. He’s been with the Cowboys since 2022, so he’s familiar with quarterback Dak Prescott and the offensive system.
