The Dallas Cowboys and head coach Mike McCarthy have ended their partnership following a disappointing 2024 season. McCarthy, who led the team to a 7-10 record, is now a free agent and reportedly a candidate for other head coaching positions.
The Dallas Cowboys and head coach Mike McCarthy have parted ways on Monday after a disappointing 2024 season. McCarthy and the Cowboys did not engage in discussions about a new deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. A report from Tom Pelissero suggested that McCarthy is a potential candidate for the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints. McCarthy, 61, led the Cowboys to a 7-10 record this past season, flattening the fanbase’s high hopes for a Super Bowl-contending year.
McCarthy leaves Dallas with a winning record, two NFC East titles and three playoff appearances from 2021 to ‘23, helping the Cowboys win 12 games a piece in each of those seasons. However, under McCarthy’s reign the Cowboys only have one playoff win—a 2022 wild-card victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—and never managed to secure an NFC championship berth, a feat that has eluded the franchise since 1995. The Cowboys head coach vacancy earlier this month, but now McCarthy is free to meet with them and any other team of his choosing for a shot at his third head coaching stint in the NFL.
