In an unexpected move that has sent shockwaves throughout the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys have announced that legendary quarterback Roger Staubach will take over as the team’s new head coach, effective for the 2025 season. Staubach, widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, will be stepping into the role after a storied career that included winning two Super Bowls with the Cowboys during the 1970s.
Staubach, 82, has long been associated with the Cowboys, both as a player and an iconic figure in the franchise’s history. He spent his entire 11-season career in Dallas, leading the team to multiple championships and earning a reputation for his clutch performances and leadership on the field. Now, he returns to the franchise in a completely new capacity—leading the Cowboys from the sidelines as they seek to reclaim their former glory.
“I am honored and excited to return to the team I love in this new role,” Staubach said in a statement released by the team. “The Dallas Cowboys have always been a symbol of excellence, and I am ready to bring my experience, passion, and leadership to help guide this team to success.”
Staubach’s appointment comes after a season of mixed results for the Cowboys, who have consistently been in playoff contention but have struggled to reach the Super Bowl in recent years. The franchise is hoping that Staubach’s deep connection to the team’s history, coupled with his leadership qualities, will help turn things around and lead the Cowboys to their first Super Bowl appearance in nearly three decades.
“We are thrilled to have Roger Staubach return to the Cowboys family,” said Jerry Jones, owner and general manager of the Cowboys. “Roger embodies everything that is great about the Cowboys. His leadership, integrity, and passion for the game make him the ideal person to help us achieve our goal of winning championships.”
While Staubach has not been involved in coaching since his playing days, his football IQ, knowledge of the game, and his connection with the Cowboys’ fanbase make him a highly respected figure. Many fans have expressed excitement about Staubach’s return, hopeful that his unique perspective can help bring a fresh approach to the team’s performance.
Staubach will inherit a talented roster, including standout players like quarterback Dak Prescott and defensive stars Micah Parsons. With the new leadership, expectations for the Cowboys’ 2025 season are high, as Staubach’s return signals a bold new chapter in the team’s storied history.
