The Dallas Cowboys didn’t give Mike McCarthy permission to speak with the Chicago Bears last week. Turns out that didn’t mean the coach was staying with America’s Team. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported Monday McCarthy and team owner Jerry Jones were unable to come to terms on a contract and they will be parting ways.

It was always Mike Vrabel. The Patriots are hiring their former Super Bowl-winning linebacker as their next head coach, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported Sunday.

The Dallas Cowboys have made their decision on head coach Mike McCarthy now that the 2024 season has ended. McCarthy will not continue as the team’s coach in the 2025 season.

After nine full seasons with Garrett, Jones went back to a Super Bowl-winning coach in Mike McCarthy, who is leaving after five seasons. Now Jones is looking for another head coach as the Cowboys' Super Bowl drought reaches 29 years following a 7-10 finish in 2024.

McCarthy's overall lack of playoff success and the offense getting stale are big reasons Jerry Jones is making a coaching change.
