Mike McCarthy's tenure as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys has concluded after his contract expired without renewal, and no negotiations took place between him and the team. Despite positive discussions about the 2024 season, McCarthy and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones did not reach an agreement, with conflicting dialogue reported and no contract offered. McCarthy, who had a 49-35 record over five seasons with Dallas and a 1-3 postseason record, including two first-round home losses, informed his coaching staff that he would not be returning. The Cowboys issued an official statement confirming the search for a new head coach would commence immediately. McCarthy is expected to draw interest from other teams with coaching vacancies, including the New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears, who have confirmed their interest.
