Dallas parted ways with McCarthy this week after a disappointing season. The Denton Record Chronicle's Brett Vito spoke with KERA's Andrew Garcia about where the Cowboys go from here.

DALLAS (AP) — Mike McCarthy is not returning as coach of the Dallas Cowboys, who are going on three decades since their last Super Bowl title, owner Jerry Jones said in a statement Monday. Jones said the organization and McCarthy mutually agreed to part ways. The team’s search for its next coach begins immediately, he says.

The move comes after McCarthy and the Cowboys missed the playoffs for the first time since his inaugural season in 2020.

Mike McCarthy says he absolutely wants to return as the coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones has dropped multiple hints that McCarthy would be back, but the team owner was far from definitive about McCarthy’s future after a 23-19 loss to Washington finished a 7-10 season.

The Dallas Cowboys announced Monday that they could not reach a contract extension agreement with Mike McCarthy.

McCarthy and the Cowboys fell into a big hole in the 2022 wild card round against San Francisco, trailing 23-7 entering the fourth quarter. Dallas made a mad scramble to try and get back into it, and was actually driving into 49ers territory in the game’s final minute with a chance to take the lead.

For head coach Mike McCarthy, it was the same things that had plagued his team all season again came home to roost and played a major role in the loss.
