After a year out of the NFL, former Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy has landed a job as the next coach of the Dallas Cowboys.
According to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, the Cowboys have agreed to terms with McCarthy and will officially announce the hiring later this week.
McCarthy interviewed in Dallas on Saturday and stayed in town to get the deal done.
McCarthy spent 13 years with the Packers, winning 125 regular-season games, 10 postseason games, six division titles and Super Bowl XLV. He will replace Jason Garrett, who spent nine years as the coach in Dallas but was let go by owner Jerry Jones after finishing 8-8 in 2019.
The Packers fired McCarthy three months into a disappointing 2018 season, ending the run of one of the franchise’s most successful coaches.
McCarthy, an offensive-minded coach, will inherit a talented football team with a veteran quarterback, Pro Bowlers at running back and receiver and a quality offensive line. He gives the Cowboys a veteran coach with experience and the potential to win immediately.
