Report: Mike McCarthy wanted coach as Dallas Cowboys dismiss him Report: Mike McCarthy would be wanted coach if Dallas Cowboys dismiss him

The Dallas Cowboys have a week and change left in their 2024 season which means two weeks from now the first handful of days of the offseason will have passed. Conventional wisdom would suggest that by the time the Wild Card Round kicks off, the Cowboys will have made a decision about head coach Mike McCarthy (even though they did not make a formal one about his predecessor until during the Wild Card Round

Reports continue to swirl, as they did early in the week, that Mike McCarthy will return to the Cowboys in 2025 despite a horrific start to this season. The start was so irrecoverable that Dallas was formally eliminated from playoff contention prior to their Week 16 game kicking off.

We have discussed McCarthy’s case many times and obviously some Cowboys fans are ready to move on. McCarthy was hired to take the Cowboys to a different level and the reality is that he has not done that. He is, and always will be, a Super Bowl-winning coach based on his accomplishments with the Green Bay Packers which obviously pre-dated his time with Dallas.
