Add the Cowboys to the list of teams in the market for a new head coach.
NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero reports Mike McCarthy will not return for a sixth season in Dallas. McCarthy’s contract expires on Tuesday and he has been talking to the team about a new deal, but no agreement has been reached.
According to the report, the length of the contract was the barrier to reaching an agreement, and this was something the PFT cited as a potential sticking point when the two sides got to the negotiating table.
McCarthy was 49-35 during his time with the Cowboys. He had three straight 12-win seasons from 2021-23, but won just one playoff game during that span and the Cowboys fell to 7-10 amid a number of injuries during the 2024 season.
The Cowboys have blocked McCarthy from interviewing with the Bears about their vacant coaching position, but McCarthy will now be free to interview with them or any other team interested in giving him his third chance to run the show in the NFL.
