The Cowboys face a pivotal moment as they seek a new head coach following McCarthy’s departure
Dallas: So, the Cowboys just parted ways with Mike McCarthy, and now everyone’s buzzing about what Jerry Jones will do next. It’s a big deal, right? Yahoo Sports had a chat with some NFL insiders, and they’re all wondering if Jerry already has someone in mind or if this was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.
Before McCarthy was let go, Jerry hinted that he always keeps an eye on potential coaches. But knowing coaches and finding the right fit are two different things. Some folks close to the team think Jerry might have a shortlist of candidates, while others believe he should take his time and really search for the best option.
There’s talk about interviewing people like Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, who used to be with the Cowboys. But there’s also a sense that Jerry might not want to go through a long, drawn-out process. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, honestly.
Now, here’s the kicker: it’s kind of strange that the Cowboys might not find a better coach than McCarthy. Usually, when you let someone go, you expect to upgrade, right? But who knows? McCarthy might end up with the Saints or even the Bears, which is interesting since he has connections there.
In a perfect world, McCarthy and the Cowboys would have been a great match. But after five years without a deep playoff run, sometimes you just need a change. It’s all about shaking things up, even if it feels a bit off.
