McCarthy "agree to part ways" - fired in Dallas

Post by DumlinBumlinStumlin » Mon Jan 13, 2025 5:13 pm

Thought yesterday was he would stick around but his contract was up.

Cowboys fired coach Mike McCarthy after five seasons.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero was first, noting that the split between McCarthy and the Cowboys came down to a disagreement over the length of contract McCarthy should receive. His dismissal comes moments after ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the possibility of the two sides moving on, but now it’s been made official. In his five seasons with the Cowboys, McCarthy led them to a 49-35 record while. He made the playoffs in three of his seasons and won 12 games in each year he made the postseason. Already believed to have a hot market, requests to interview McCarthy come quickly. The Bears are expected to still be interested in him after Dallas denied their request for an interview last week, and there have been rumors that the Saints would also be interested in speaking with the veteran head coach. If he wants to coach in 2025, it seems as if McCarthy will have no problem finding a job as he now becomes one of the top candidates on the market.

news blurb update:

It’s not an official firing, but the Cowboys’ decision not to re-up with McCarthy makes it clear they were only willing to retain him on their terms after a disappointing 2024. The split reportedly came down to a disagreement over the length of contract McCarthy should receive as the two sides attempted to hammer out a new deal, with his current one set to expire at the end of Tuesday. His dismissal comes moments after ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the possibility of the two sides moving on, but now it’s been made official.

He would probably make for a good offensive coordinator for some team, too bad Art is still under contract.
