In his first season as the Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator, Klayton Adams helped lead one of the most explosive units in all of football.
The Cowboys ranked second in the NFL in yards per game in 2025 with 391.9 and seventh in points per game at 27.7.
And now that Adams is comfortable in his job security within the organization, the former offensive line coach has begun to make some serious demands about the team’s facilities.
Like any red-blooded American, he’s starting with the important stuff.
Dallas Cowboys OC Klayton Adams Insists The Team Adds A Hot Dog Fridge
Adams was mic’d up for a recent practice and revealed that secretly being mic’d up is a $1,000 fine and a $100 donation to the “hot dog fridge.”
That last part prompted reporters to ask him what exactly the hot dog fridge was. To which Adams was happy to respond.
Here’s the video of Cowboys OC Klayton Adams (@K_Adams_FB) discussing his desire to get a “hot dog fridge” in the team break room.
I need to know everything about this concept 🌭

“It’s something that I’m working on here,” Adams said.
“How can you really have a break room if you don’t have a hot dog fridge? And if you’re going to have a hot dog fridge, you’ve got to have high-quality hot dogs in it. And if you’re going to have high-quality hot dogs, we’ve got to (have) brioche buns, and maybe some pretzel buns. These are all things that we’re working on. Maybe an industrial-sized 7Eleven hot dog roller, I don’t know.”
ALL GOOD QUESTIONS.
As a glizzy connoisseur in my own right, I do have to question Adams’ choice of a pretzel bun. Even a brioche bun is often too much. A good split-top bun is all you need. And hopefully by “high-quality” hot dogs he means all beef. Preferably Costco’s quarter-pound dinner dogs. But I can live with a variety.
Adams did at least make a concession about proper bun-warming technique.
“One of the things I learned from going to Disneyland with my kids — I was trying to steam the bun, I was trying to toast the bun, and the guy at Disneyland goes, ‘No, man. Put it in the bun and wrap it in foil and let the hot dog steam the bun.’ It’s been revolutionary,” he said.
Tell you what, Klayton Adams. You bring the Cowboys their first Super Bowl in over three decades, and Jerry Jones will give you whatever kind of fridge you could possibly want in the break room.
