A new era is underway for the Dallas Cowboys.
After five seasons, Mike McCarthy will no longer be on the sidelines at AT&T Stadium. Instead, it will be Brian Schottenheimer, who got the promotion from offensive coordinator to head coach.
Obviously, nobody is happier with that than Schottenheimer himself, but star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is a close second.

"With him being in the building since I was in the league, I feel like there’s not gonna be a drop-off," Lamb said in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. "He understands how we operate, very familiar with the area and the Jones family, he understands the talent he has around, so just incorporating that and be better every week. Looking forward to it."
Lamb added that there will be some sort of "adjustment," but any stress will mostly be on Schottenheimer himself and not necessarily the players in terms of adaptation.
"Having a new coach, they have to come in and proclaim their dominance and be able to control the room. I know that’s a lot of stress on them," Lamb said.
"They gotta get us to understand why we should follow you. I feel like [owner] Jerry [Jones] did a great job of keeping it close."
