Dallas Cowboys Part Ways With Mike McCarthy

The Dallas Cowboys have parted ways with head coach Mike McCarthy after five seasons due to disagreements over contract length, sparking speculation on who will succeed him. Kellen Moore, a former Cowboys player and offensive coordinator, is a leading candidate due to his familiarity with the team and recent success with the Philadelphia Eagles. Jason Witten, another former Cowboys player turned high school coach, is also a strong contender, with Jerry Jones reportedly considering him as a potential 'Dan Campbell-esque' hire. Deion Sanders and Jon Gruden are other names being floated, with Sanders's charisma and Gruden's coaching experience making them intriguing possibilities. The decision comes after Jones allowed McCarthy to linger during a critical hiring period, raising questions about his strategic plan. Nonetheless, Jones has a diverse pool of candidates to choose from as he seeks to restore the Cowboys' former glory.
