Jim Shofner (born December 18, 1935) is a former football player and coach at both the collegiate and professional levels. He was twice a head coach: first at Texas Christian University from 1974–1976, then in an interim capacity with the Cleveland Browns in 1990. That success resulted in his hiring as offensive coordinator of the Houston Oilers on February 4, 1981, but the team had slipped from its recent success. After two seasons, Shofner again announced he was leaving to enter private business, but instead, was hired in the same role with the Dallas Cowboys, where he spent three years.
