WACO, Texas (KXXV) — According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, Mike McCarthy will not return as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys for a sixth season. McCarthy's contract, which expires on Tuesday, had been a topic of negotiation, but the two sides could not reach an agreement.
McCarthy spoke with owner and general manager Jerry Jones and executive vice president Stephen Jones at least three times last week.
McCarthy's 49-34 record since becoming Dallas' head coach in 2020 is tied for the eighth-best in the NFL along with the Minnesota Vikings, and the team's three consecutive 12-win seasons from 2021-2023 were Dallas' first since a four-season stretch from 1992-1995.
